For those of you who hate the original colors of the BlackBerry Curve 8330, Sprint is now offering the device in a custom paint job called "Inferno". The price didn't change, of course. You'll still be paying for it $49.99 on contract after discounts.

The upcoming release of the BlackBerry Curve 8520 on T-Mobile was already confirmed a while ago. Today the handset has been approved by the FCC, which means the launch is inevitable an is closing fast. Excited? We are.

A live shot of the upcoming T-Mobile-branded BlackBerry 8520 was posed at the Crackberry forum a couple of days ago. The poster didn't mention anything regarding pricing, and if the previous rumors are true, we can expect it to be released sometime during Q4 2009.

To all AT&T customers: if you wanted to get a high-end BlackBerry handset, today's your chance. The carrier has lowered the prices for the Curve 8900 and Bold models, but for a limited time only. Here are the prices:

• BalckBerry Curve 8900 - $149.99 on contract after rebate (instead of $199.99)
• BalckBerry Bold - $199.99 on contract after rebate (instead of $299.

Here are some live shots of the new ruggedized BlackBerry Curve 8530 “Aries”, a CDMA variant of the T-Mobile's Curve 8520 Gemini. Some of its features are:

• EV-DO data;
• QVGA display;
• 2Mpix camera;
• Dedicated media keys;
• microSD support;
• Optical trackpad

AT&T has launched the BlackBerry Curve 8900. The handset is available online and in stores at a price of $199 before taxes. No 3G support here, sorry...

Thanks to leaked pricing sheet from AT&T for the southwestern region, we can make an assumption on what the price for the upcoming BlackBerry Curve 8900 could be. It looks like it will be going for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in-rebate with a 2-year contract. T-Mobile's version of the phone will be available for $149.99 after a $100 mail-in-rebate. May 25th still remains the supposed release date.

Yup, here we have another unofficial firmware update for the BlackBerry 8900... This time it's OS 4.6.1.239, which can be downloaded directly from here. You all know the drill, making a backup copy of your personal files is a must.

There's some new information regarding the BlackBerry Curve 8900. Sources report it will be coming to AT&T on May 25th, which is earlier than we previously thought. There's no confirmation on that, but hopefully it's true.

The expected price is $150 with a new contract.

According to BGR, AT&T is going to release the BlackBerry Curve 8900 in the near future. The same handset is available today from T-Mobile, but the AT&T's version will have a small difference: it will include the same themes as the Bold 9000 (also sold by AT&T).

The price wasn't mentioned, though. Note that T-Mobile currently offers its version of the Curve 8900 for $149.
