Sprint To Carry 8350i on Dec. 1st Online Only?

We just got a tip on the BlackBerry Curve 8350i iDEN on Sprint/Nextel.  I was notified by a Sprint store manager that the new Curve 8350i will be launched December 1st, but only available online for a bit.  It will be released in stores before Christmas, although I do not have a specific date for that yet.  Either way, no one was still expecting that Nov. 14th release that was rumored a while back.  I know all you Sprint/Nextel customers have been waiting patiently for this release, and we are here to bring you a little good news.  Check out the previous pricing post about the 8350i here so you can have your credit cards ready Dec. 1st.

We are trying to confirm this info for you guys, but it sounds reasonable for now.
