I heard mention of this not long ago, though my Acct. Mgr has denied it more than once. It would be a logical move for Alltel, especially for male customers (they're not so big on the 8130) Customers also want a full-QWERTY BB that's not so "Business Oriented" as the 8830. Here's hoing we get it ... though I'm keeping my 8830.

I don't have a problem with the biz look of the 8830 but my gripe is lack of wifi..

You're in the small percentage of people who don't. I love it ... it's sleek and to the point (8830). It's probably the best business tool I've used (and will flat-out pwn when 4.3 is released), though lately few BB buyers are using their devices for anything more than an entertainment device. Not to rip on those who use it as such, but 99% of potential buyers simply scoff at the way it looks. I think an Alltel Curve would put RIM ahead of the Q for those wanting said device. Wifi would be wicked on the 8830!!! It's amazing that they didn't include it. How do you like the keyboard on the 8830 compared to the one on the Curve?
Crap, MMSD on a Curve would be a world beater!

Lol, nice. I just sold my 6800 and bought the 8830. The PPC is badass in so many ways, but I got tired of the little nuances. The lock-ups and faded pixels pissed me off. What headset are you having issues with? And this may be dumb question, but are you running WM5 or 6 on it?

Damn dude, sorry to hear. I know the WM5 versions (that did not upgrade via HTCUSA) had this problem out of the box, but not the majority of WM6's. Any dead pixels yet?

Glad you didn't have any bad pixels. Hopefully a firmware update will fix the issue shortly. I kinda miss mine... but I love my Blackberry.
