wrap it up
Case-mate has announced the release of a "groundbreaking" new product designed to protect your iPhone, iPod touch, iPod classic (80GB and 160GB) or BlackBerry Curve from scratches using a military-grade Scotchgard film from 3M that was originally designed to protect Apache helicopter blades during Desert Storm. The film is also completely clear, so there are no bulky, ugly cases to contend with. But the real question here is: does it blend? Well, let's find out:

Blackberry Curve 8330 Coming To Sprint Tomorrow

The Curve 8330 will launch on the Sprint network tomorrow, complete with EV-DO, GPS, and tethering capability. You can order it tomorrow for $180 with a 2 year commitment.

Verizon's Blackberry Curve: May 9 for $270
A little late to the party here, the Blackberry Curve is finally landing on Verizon on May 9 (online, May 12 in store) for $270 after $50 rebate and two-year contract. Yay EV-DO, but was anyone actually waiting for it? [Verizon]

BlackBerry Users Get XM Radio, Excuse to Take Phones Into Bathrooms For $7.99 a Month
I used to sleep through class by tuning my cellphone's FM radio to a classical station, sitting in the back, and putting a jacket over my face, so this XM Radio on BlackBerry is pretty spectacular news. All you need is a BlackBerry 8800, 8700, Pearl or Curve and $7.99 a month. You'll get 20 "exclusive" XM channels (list after the jump), and you can download the app here or text "XM" to 47201. Time for a nap. Since this uses the phone's regular data connection, you hopefully won't be forced to wear giant ridiculous looking headphones in order to get reception. More »

CTIA comes but twice a year, and it gives the telecoms and phone makers a chance to show off their coolest stuff. Verizon Wireless apparently has its hands full with the whole open-network thing, because instead of unveiling something potentially sweet like the LG VX9700 or VX8560, its lineup of CTIA phones looks pretty ho-hum. Yes, there's a new BlackBerry Curve 8330 and a slimmer enV, but even those and the other handsets from HTC, Motorola and Samsung suffer from a re-heated leftover vibe:

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]

First CDMA Blackberry Curve 8330 Pics
Long a staple at the GSM party, the Blackberry Curve is finally shuffling over to CDMA's digs. It's pretty much the same bag of tricks as the other 83X0s, in a nearly identical bod, but with the added zest of GPS. It probably won't get official for at least another month, though, so hang tight. Better body shot is this way. More »

Video Recording Coming Soon To a BlackBerry Near You
It appears that the CrackBerry is set to be a little more crack-tastic. A Crackberry.com hands-on with the upcoming BlackBerry OS v4.3 has revealed that users will finally have the ability to record video. The new OS is already shipping on the 8130 and rumor has it that the Curve and the Pearl 8100 won't be far behind. [Crackberry via Digital Inspiration via JKOTR]

Dealzmodo: Make $50 on a T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve
If you were planning on picking up a BlackBerry Curve on T-Mobile, here's how you make $50 on the deal while you're at it. Amazon has the Curve for $74.99 plus $125 rebate when you buy a new service plan and keep it in good standing for 181 days. If you're a responsible person that pays their bills on time, this should be no problem you to handle for six months. It's an even better deal than the time I sold some kid a piece of broken glass for $5 (I told him it was a diamond). We were eight. [Amazon via ZDNet via Crunchgear]

In the hot summer months, rumor was that the critically acclaimed BlackBerry Curve was coming to T-Mobile—and unlike the AT&T "exclusive" edition, the T-Mo one would have Wi-Fi. Last week, Jason Chen reported that the Curve would be equipped with T-Mobile's Hotspot @Home for unlimited Wi-Fi calling at home or in Starbucks. Chen also posted that the 8320 Curve would cost $249 with a 2-year contract. You got the news. All that remains is to tell you that it's living up to its promise so far.

We reported on the BlackBerry Curve getting T-Mobile hotspot compatibility, but the 8320 has just become official, retailing now for $249 after $50 mail-in rebate with a two-year contract. It's available in titanium and gold, and you should be able to pick one up from retailers (they just got the go-ahead to sell). Thanks tipster! [T-Mobile]

The PinStack forums got some leaked retail partner docs from T-Mobile today confirming the T-Mobile BB Curve 8320, and also showing that it has HotSpot @ Home Service. HS@H lets you use one cellphone to make calls on both the cell network and your home's Wi-Fi, handing off "seamlessly" between the two. Adding the Curve to this network seems brilliant, allowing office monkeys to both talk and receive emails over fast Wi-Fi. [Pinstack]

Boy Genius Links T-Mobile and the BlackBerry Curve 8320 on Sept 24th
Boy Genius published this leaked T-Mobile document with details of the Blackberry Curve 8320 launch pegged to September 24th—the Curve with Wi-Fi. That makes sense, given TMO's gung ho attitude toward Wi-Fi, with all those hotspots. And oh yeah—how convenient—that brand new TMO @ home service that swaps handsets between Wi-Fi and cellular calling seamlessly. Until then, the program has only had cheapo phones. This could be the first respectable handset on the service. As always, these documents usually aren't final, so dates will probably change. [BGR]

AT&T Releasing the BlackBerry Curve Tomorrow
We broke the news, gathered the reviews, and now thanks to the folks at RIM and AT&T, we can confirm for you that the BlackBerry Curve will come out tomorrow for $199 (with a 2-year contract and mail-in rebate). Not bad price-wise, and the Curve is tempting enough to make me wanna jump ship from Verizon Wireless. More »
