Just a quick heads up to all you Sprint customers: The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8330 is now available for purchase. Yes, that's right, the Curve can now be yours for just $179.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates and discounts. Like Verizon's version, the Sprint Curve features Bluetooth 2.0, a 2-megapixel camera, and integrated GPS with support for Sprint Navigation. However, unlike Verizon, you can access Sprint's various multimedia services on the Curve, including Sprint TV and the Sprint Music Store. The sleek little smartphone is scheduled to arrive in our office today, so be sure to check back early next week for a full review.

Finally, on a somewhat related note, there are rumors floating around that the RIM BlackBerry 9000 will make its official debut on Monday, May 12. Oh, a girl can dream.

Excuse me, but this announcement is as exciting as Benjamin Moore launching a new shade of peach paint. It's just more of the same blah blah. I think Bonnie needs to get a hobby or do some travel to get some perspective.
