T-Mobile Confirms BlackBerry 8820 Arrival

T-Mobile confirmed last Friday's rumor, that it was (finally!) bringing the BlackBerry 8820 to its lineup. AT&T has had the handset since late last year. In case you, too, are confused about the whole BB lineup, this one has GPS and Wi-Fi, but no camera. (T-Mo already carries the Curve, which has Wi-Fi and a camera but no GPS.) TeleNav's GPS navigation software comes bundled with the 8820, and the phone will of course work with Hotspot @Home Wi-Fi calling, provided you pay the $10/month subscription fee. The 8820 will cost $350 with a 2-year commitment. [T-Mobile]

Amazon may have jumped the gun with it, but...

Pinstack has shots of Blackberry's flagship 8820 with GPS/WiFi, in the wild. Unseen before is the UI for hooking up said 802.11 to networks. Good porn shots for Blackberry nerds anxious for the full QWERTY and wireless. Still no camera, though. [Pinstack]

Launch Dates for Motorola RAZR 2 and Q9, More

Every once in a while the so-called Boy Genius actually nails a rumor or two, so we couldn't help but pass this one along: He's soothsaying now that the Motorola RAZR 2 V9 and Motorola Q9 will be rolling out on AT&T on August 24. He also has a bit of (possible) intelligence about some other phones, too.

Boy Genius also hears that the Pantech C810 will debut on September 9, while the Blackberry 8820 might be seen on August 13 or 14. He's also pegging the AT&T-branded SMT5700 QWERTY smartphone as seeing the light of day on either August 24 or August 28. Of course, these dates are all unconfirmed, speculative, rumor-esque, scuttlebutt. [Boy Genius Report]
