T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8900 Impressions

3:01PM Matt Buchanan | After the BlackBerry Bold’s epically delayed launch on AT&T and the Storm’s epically borked launch everywhere, RIM needs 2009 to be better than 2008. The T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8900 is a good way to start.

Cowon S9 Curve Review

5:00AM Mark Wilson | We all know iPods have taken over the world, but the Cowon S9 looked like the perfect alternative to the iPod touch for those of you who hate Apple, so I ordered one in. More »

Cowon S9 Curve GUI Not Quite As Lovely As the Player Itself

7:43PM John Herrman | The AMOLED-screened Cowon S9 Curve is pretty. I get it. But a sexy design will only carry a PMP so far; a touchscreen media player’s success depends on its GUI, and things aren’t looking fantastic for the S9. More »

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Pallin’ Around With the FCC, Coming to US Early Next Year

9:25PM John Herrman | Almost immediately after news of a release date and lovely little price on T-Mobile in Germany, RIM has let on a little info as to the new Curve’s US release: it’s imminent, and should come within Q1 of next year. RIM is just going through the motions with the FCC for now, but T-Mobile and AT&T are likely carriers for the neat little handset. Neither has formally staked their claim.

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Gets Launch Date, $US450 Price Tag in Germany

3:15AM Kit Eaton | We knew it was coming to Germany first, but there’s new info that the BlackBerry Curve 8900 will hit the streets there mid-November, and at around $US450 (360€) price for a contract-free handset. German T-Mobile subscribers can even get it for as low as $US6.20 (5€) with the right kind of 2-year contract monthly plans: lets hope that kind of pricing is echoed when it comes to the US (on AT&T or T-Mobile?) at a still-unspecified date.

BlackBerry Curve 8900 First Impressions (Kills the Original)

10:30AM Matt Buchanan | RIM excels at many things, but keeping secrets ain’t one of ‘em, so we’d eyeballed the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (nee Javelin) quite a bit before this AT&T-branded one dropped in our laps. It’s a Bolder version of the current Curve that improves it in basically every way: Lighter, tighter, but more powerful—and it feels like a phone that was produced in 2008, not when you were still keeping your 2006 resolutions. galleryPost('blackberrycurve8900impress', 3, '');

BlackBerry 8320 Curve Official Shots Leaked

9:53AM Gizmodo US Edition | Official shots of RIM’s BlackBerry 8320 Curve—set for initial launch at AT&T—have leaked out at Boy Genius Report, which could mean the actual phone may be making an appearance soon. If you recall, it was announced that the BlackBerry 8320 would be available at AT&T on September 23, but an entire month has passed, and here I sit, with a new AT&T contract, and without a new BlackBerry 8320 in my hand. Bummer. Check out the second pic below, or head over to BGR for more shots. [BGR] More »

Turn Your BlackBerry Curve or Pearl Into a Shiny Storm In One Easy Step

11:20PM John Mahoney | That is, once you’ve put on the blinders necessary to peer only into the screen to enjoy this $US7 theme add-on, which ditched the Pearl/Curve’s rough quasi-future typography (thank God that has been changed) and icon set in favour of the Storm’s slick new UI. The icons even look like they’re being touch-clicked when you select them. Good to pass the time until the Storm drops sometime later next month. [BBThemes via Crackberry] More »

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Out Next Month on T-Mobile Germany (Everywhere Else Shortly?)

7:20AM Matt Buchanan | 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] More »
