That’s right! Get your hands on it before it disappears. Berry Review’s Ninjas seem to have found copies of RIM’s unreleased OS 4.5.0.77 for both the CDMA BlackBerry 8830 and Curve 8330. Apparently this version of the OS fixes the small delay of answering voice calls noticed in 4.5.0.66.
Here are the download links (they may stop working soon):
- BlackBerry 8830 at MediaFire
- BlackBerry Curve 8330 at MediaFire (2nd link)
* Please note while these OS verisons are not officially supported by RIM. We don’t recommend installing them if you have never installed a beta OS before. Neither Us, Berry Review nor RIM take any responsibility to damage caused to your phone while installing this software.

Sprint has been advertising their BlackBerry Curve 8330 in a lot of American newspapers on Sunday. It's showing the Curve "coming soon" for $179.99 with contract after rebates. One interesting bit about this ad is that it shows two colors available (Titanium and Red). So most likely we will see Sprint's Curve available this week.

We just received a tip from a reliable tipster that a Pink colored BlackBerry Curve 8330 will soon be hitting the Canadian streets. The tipster didn't point which direction (Bell or TELUS) the Pink Curve will be heading but if it follows the exclusive TELUS launch of the Pink Pearl for Breast Cancer then we might just see it there. The tipster says it will launch most likely within the next 30 days.
Thanks Riko!

Bell has jumped on the Curve wagon and is second in Canada to launch the Blackberry Curve 8330. Their Curve packs everything the same 2.0 megapixel camera, GPS, full QWERTY keyboard, microSD memory card slot and it's silver liquid in color, not Black? The price is $249.95 with three year contract or $549.95 without contract. This brings the price exactly the same as Telus.
Check the Bell website for details.
