BlackBerry Curve 8900 Arrives at AT&T Friday for $200 After Rebate

Adam Frucci — Wed, 20 May 2009 12:45:50 EDT

The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is finally arriving at AT&T this Friday after a few months at T-Mobile. You'll pay $199.99 for it, but only after remembering to send in a $100 mail-in rebate.

Rumor: Blackberry 8900 Jumps To AT&T This June

Jack Loftus — Sun, 03 May 2009 13:10:00 EDT

The image and accompanying speculation purportedly confirms that the Blackberry 8900, long since comfortable on T-Mobile's network, is heading to AT&T this June. (Which we figured, since we've held one that looks just like this.)

And June is basically all the news has to say about this phone right now. Early indications hint that there will be no discernible difference from the t-Mobile version aside from that little branding sticker you see there in the pic.

We're guessing price and exact release date won't be known until RIM's Wireless Enterprise Symposium event later this week. [BGR via MobileCrunch]

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Now Available On T-Mobile: $199

John Mahoney — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:42:11 EST

T-Mobilers with BlackBerry envy can rejoice: they are the first to get the impressive Curve 8900 for $199 with 2-year deal.

We liked what we saw of the new Curve, and it will be on AT&T later this year. It's not the $150 sweetspot that was previously rumored, but still not bad for an overall solid B-Berry. [T-Mobile Store via Crackberry]

Update: As is their wont, Amazon has a nice $100 rebate, bringing the price down to $99. Thanks ALCie.

BlackBerry Curve 8900 For Business Pricing Revealed

Sean Fallon — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:40:00 EST

Rumors regarding the corporate release of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 on January 19th gained momentum today with a $499.99 contract-free, $249.99 with a one-year contract and $199.99 with two year contract price structure.

Again, this information has not been confirmed as far as we know, but it all seems about right. If it is true, regular T-Mobile customers will most likely pay a similar amount when it is released to everyone on February 11th. [BlackBerry Rocks via BGR]

Confirmed: BlackBerry Curve 8900 Coming to T-Mobile in February

John Herrman — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 07:25:32 EST

Well that was a neat little progression: Early suspicions, followed by a purported internal leak, capped with an official announcement. T-Mobile will be adding the BlackBerry Curve 8900 to their lineup come February.

The press release doesn't get any more specific than that, but seems to lend authority to the previous leak, which indicated that the 18th would be the day. [BGR]

BlackBerry Curve 8900 And 8MP Samsung Memoir Look Certain For Feb. 18 on T-Mobile

John Mahoney — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:40:00 EST

We had a strong suspicion before, but this release memo over at BGR appears to confirm that T-Mobile will get the Curve 8900 and the 8-megapixel Samsung Memoir (which has gone by a number of different names through its FCC process) on February 18. In other shocking news, the 3G-equipped TM506 will be available in January in...RED! [BGR]

Leaked 2009 Blackberry Roadmap Hints at Touchscreen Bold, Storm Slider

Adrian Covert — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 20:00:00 EST

A supposed 2009 Blackberry Roadmap posted on TmoNews Forums suggests that we'll not only be seeing the Curve 8900 next year, but also a touchscreen Bold and a Storm with a slide-out keyboard.

Forum moderator Godzilla posted the roadmap, which offers minimal details actual specs. It only says that the touchscreen Bold (9900, codename "Pluto") will maintain the same form factor and keyboard, and that the Storm slider is unconfirmed and targeted towards Europeans. which in addition to the aforementioned phones, also makes reference to HSPA and EV-DO versions of the 8900 (referred to as the 9220 and 8930, respectively), a 3G Kickstart, as well as an EV-DO/HSPA Bold. There was also talk of a refreshed line of Pearls with the new UI. The EV-DO products are due for a release in the first half of 2009, while the potential heavy hitters are slated for a release at the end of 2009. [TmoNews Forums]

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Gets Launch Date, $450 Price Tag in Germany

Kit Eaton — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 13:15:00 EST

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 $450 (360€) price for a contract-free handset. German T-Mobile subscribers can even get it for as low as $6.20 (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 Out Next Month on T-Mobile Germany (Everywhere Else Shortly?)

matt buchanan — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 17:20:00 EDT

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]

AT&T Tilt Gets Further Specs, Price, Launch Frame

Jason Chen — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 15:00:05 EDT

The AT&T Tilt (also known as HTC Kaiser or AT&T 8925) has further firmed up for a September launch by way of a few leaked details from AT&T. The phone will be $349 with a two-year voice and data plan, push-to-talk, Wi-Fi, 2.8-inch tilting screen, push email, Microsoft Office for WM6, as well as AT&T Mobile Music and Media Net. There will be two versions, the 8925 with camera and the 8900 without camera, but both of them will be sans front video cam, even though AT&T's Video Share video calling service is live. There should be a formal announcement on this soon. [Boy Genius]
