Treo 800W in Sprint stores on July 13 - Red Blackberry Curve too?
Posted on 19 June 2008, at 3:40 pm, by Wayne Schulz
If information posted in Howardforums is accurate (and it seems to jive with previous leaked dates), you may see a red Blackberry Curve and the Treo 800W appear in Sprint stores beginning July 13, 2008. The Blackberry Curve will be just another fancy color for Sprint to add to their inventory, however the Treo 800 W is a new model that is rumored to sport WM 6, Wi-Fi and EVDO Rev A. Look on the bright side, all the Samsung Instinct buyers will still be within their 30 day remorse period. Let the returns begin!

Does anyone know what BP is? My best guess was a Bill Payment Sprint store location…
I need a phone soon, so probably will end up with this instead of waiting for the HTC Touch Pro or SonyE XPERIA X1.

BP = BrightPoint - a master dealer that most indirect dealers do their ordering through. This lets non-corporate stores stock up but does not signal general availability through retail .
The difference in the dates will account for why you read a lot of reports of people walking out of non-corporate owned Sprint stores with a Samsung Instinct 4 day prior to the official launch date.
They are not supposed to go on sales before the retail date — but some stores “slip” by a few days…
