The BlackBerry Curve 8520 has appeared on T-Mobile’s website. It's currently listed as “coming soon”, and will be available starting August 5th though the exact price remains a mistery. It doesn't really matter however, as the new low-end Curve will be available for just $48.88 from Walmart, and since there are lots of Walmart locations spread across the country providing easy access, there's no reason for you not to consider buying a 8520.
Alongside the BlakcBerry8520 that's ready to be launched on T-Mobile and Vodafone, there will be a new 8530 model, which is destined to become RIM's new low-end CDMA QWERTY handset. According to Boy Genius Report, it will sport the following features:
BGR has posted some specifications of the upcoming BlackBerry 9700. In case you're wondering, it doesn't have a codename yet. We expect to see some photos of the device shortly, but for now check out its specs, as reported:
According to the recent reports, Vodafone UK will be selling the entry-level QWERTY-based BlackBerry 8520 in August (same as T-Mobile USA) at an "affordable price." Are you excited?
T-Mobile has announced the release date for the upcoming BlackBerry Gemini, also known as the Curve 8520. The handset will be available August 5th, and will be the first handset in the Curve family to have a touch-sensitive trackpad instead of the usual trackball. Other than that, the specs aren’t very impressive: there's no flash on the camera, the screen resolution is the same as of the original Curve, plus of all data networks only EDGE is supported.
