BlackBerry Curve 8530 Coming to Sprint
Some of the co-workers have been talking about the Blackberry Curve 8530 coming to sprint. Since Verizon has had the 8530 for sometime now and T-Mobile the 8520 and Sprint trailing with the 8330, Sprint has been slacking with its product launches. Intomobile reports that the 8530 is coming to Sprint with a date of January 10th 2010. The Sprint version will feature the same specs as the 8520 with the added Wifi support and Blackberry 5.0 OS. Though some may say Sprint is late to the party, we can only hope that being late is good.
HTC Hero looking at future success?
Now for those who haven’t already noticed, this isn’t the first time we blogged about the HTC Hero. You can thank its high anticipation for the majority of the reason. Ever since its release (specifically Android collaborating with Sprint to release their HTC Hero on 10/11/09) It has really been talked about in various occasions. Being rated as overall above average, one of the most feature-packed Google phones to date and even with it’s flaws it’s still a very-much suggested smartphone to have. And to make things even more sweet, it’s been one of the CONFIRMED Android 2.0 packages to occur, along with the formally-spoke-about Motorola Droid from none other than Verizon. The following is fully quoted by HTC themselves:
“Yes, we are working on an Eclair update for the HTC Hero. Because Eclair is a significantly enhanced release, it will require some time to update Sense for this new version of the Android OS. Please be patient while we work to provide you with a tightly integrated experience like the one you are already enjoying on your Hero.”
Surprised? To be honest, it would’ve been more of a shock had Sprint’s HTC Hero did not have this. For those who already possess this smartphone and were questioning this phone, the one thing we don’t like is regret so on that note hold on to it a little longer before making any final decisions. Personally, my hopes for this phone were pretty much accomplished. Bottom line, things are looking good for this forseen invention.
