What a relief.  You can actually get this first generation Curve out of the box with OS 5.0.  No need to wait months for it like everybody else did (some still are, you know who you are Verizon Tour users).  So the Boost Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8330 is a prepaid BlackBerry giving you all the chirping bells, whistles, along with unlimited talk, text, and web (yes BIS) for only $70.  The price cannot be beat yet til date, but I’m just not so sure about Boost Mobile’s coverage in the US as it does come from Nextel.  Either way, if you’re getting a prepaid device, this is for you.  Don’t worry about software updates because the Curve 8330 comes locked and loaded with OS 5.0.
