Well they're having a conference today. They're briefing distributors and what not on the new plans, phones, etc. I thought he might be there. So naturally, I expect a concrete release date to leak today.

I just went to mycricket.com and saw the Blackberry Curve 8530
Question is they are advertising a Blackberry Plan for $60 half of Verizon and AT&T. But I already have a Sprint Flashed to Cricket Blackberry Curve 8530 with talk+text+web+international calling for $50-$55. So what is this blackberry plan?

[hm. rude, + not ginger!]

I think some people have already been to the meeting and gotten told the 6th for the release date but I'm sure we'll get something 100% final soon enough like you said. We definitely know that it's going to be announced August 3rd though. Cricket has even said that more information is coming then.

Yep! Some distributors have been briefed, etc things like that. This conference today is the first "official meeting" I've heard of though, so let's keep fingers crossed. I need this phone bad, haha.

I really do want it, but I'm not sure if I'm going to get it or not. I signed up for the Cricket list a while back for the free overnight shipping, which would be a nice bonus, but I don't think I want to jump and get the phone right away. I might want to wait and see that the reviews for it are like first. It definitely looks like it has improved since the first video we saw of it.

They'd have to include them. They can't just lower them. That's the government's doing.
