BlackBerry Curve 3G Confirmed For T-Mobile USA Release

Tweet

It looks like those in the US, or at the very least, those who are either current or willing to become T-Mobile customers will be able to purchase the recently announced BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300. Yup, T-Mobile has let loose on their official announcement shortly after RIM.

Unfortunately, while we now know the Curve 3G is heading to T-Mobile we are left wondering a few of the important details such as what day it will be available and how much money it will cost. Bottom line here, the official word states that T-Mobile will have the Curve 3G available both online and in-stores “in the coming weeks.”

Otherwise, we did learn that T-Mobile will be offering the Curve 3G 9300 in either smokey violet of graphite grey. Feature wise we are not learning much else new in terms of the T-Mobile version, however we can tell you that the Curve 3G is a quad-band world phone, which may be a nice selling point for some. Otherwise, continue on to read the full spec listing from T-Mobile.
