BlackBerry Curve 8900 Out Next Month on T-Mobile Germany (Everywhere Else Shortly?)
Posted by Matt Buchanan at 7:20 AM on October 10, 2008
Next month will apparently be a busy one for RIM. Besides launching its first ever touchscreen phone, the Storm, they'll be pushing out their all-new Curve 8900 on T-Mobile Germany, says the carrier's site. Formerly known by the codename Javelin, it brings the Bold's design and updated, slicker OS down to a smaller form factor. Unfortunately, it doesn't carry over 3G, but it will definitely be cheaper. Expect it everywhere else shortly thereafter, since it's unlikely to be plagued by the same certification issues that the Bold has been wrestling with. [T-Mobile.De via BGR]

Yeah same here. No 3G is a deal breaker for most smartphone buyers.

Any hope of a CDMA version? The storm is cool but I'm not sure if I'm ready to go buttonless yet.

Yeah, no 3G is definitely a bummer. Not liking the Bold because of the form factor. Curve is almost perfect in any way, just wish it were 3G!!!

@JoshS: if you're looking for a new BB right now, try out the 8830, maybe. yeah, it's a little taller than the entire curve family, and has no camera, but in exchange for that, it's RAZR-thin and has a real GPS. in my opinion, the best CDMA blackberry out right now.
especially if you don't have verizon, since verizon has it in fugly silver and other companies have it in black.
