This is an odd one. It appears that Gear Diary (via CrunchGear) has picked up a tidbit on Sprint’s offering of the Curve. No it’s not a release date, but if it’s not out tomorrow, Alltel will be the first to carry it. It’s quite an odd pricing scheme. Full details after the jump. But the long and short of the matter is that if you want the Curve 8830 from Sprint without a contract, you’re going to be out 750 bucks.
Now, I’m not sure if that’s just through Best Buy, or if this pricing scheme will be universal. I’m guessing that few, if any, people will pick up a BlackBerry for that price.
If you’re looking to get the Curve with a plan under $60 per month, you’ll be paying $199 for the Curve. For plans over $60, there’s a $20 discount. Current Sprint customers can get it for the two-year upgrade price of $229.99.
Still, $750 for a Curve without a contract. Just…wow.
