The new BlackBerry includes support for BlackBerry’s personal and enterprise push e-mail solutions, multimedia and Web browsing.

Other features include a 2 megapixel camera that can record video, tethered modem functionality and support for exclusive Sprint services including the Sprint Music Store, Sprint TV and Sprint Navigation, which provides turn-by-turn GPS-enabled directions, 3-D moving maps, more than 10 million local listings and real-time traffic alerts.

Sprint will sell the Curve for $179.99 with a two-year service agreement and after mail-in-rebates.

Verizon plans to sell it for $270 with a two-year agreement and after a $50 mail-in rebate. When you sign up for a qualifying voice and data plan the price drops $100 further, bringing Verizon's asking price more in line with Sprint's.
