According to this forum thread, Best Buy has begun selling the Virgin Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8530 ahead of its official release date later this month. Naturally, this means that the device cannot be activated until its official release date. Virgin Mobile has also quietly confirmed that MMS will be available on the device as soon as a “minor technical issue” is resolved.
