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]

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. More »

The Top 10 Ebayed Gadgets of the Year

It's no scientific indicator of worldwide sales, but it's certainly interesting to see the most hawked electronics on eBay. The number one spot goes to the Nintendo Wii (and its related products). Full list:

Cowon S9 Curve GUI Not Quite As Lovely As the Player Itself

The AMOLED-screened Cowon S9 Curve is pretty. I get it. But a sexy design will only carry a PMP so far; a touchscreen media player's success depends on its GUI, and things aren't looking fantastic for the S9.

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Pallin' Around With the FCC, Coming to US Early Next Year

Almost immediately after news of a release date and lovely little price on T-Mobile in Germany, RIM has let on a little info as to the new Curve's US release: it's imminent, and should come within Q1 of next year. RIM is just going through the motions with the FCC for now, but T-Mobile and AT&T are likely carriers for the neat little handset. Neither has formally staked their claim. [Gearlog via Engadget]

BlackBerry 8320 Curve Official Shots Leaked

Official shots of RIM's BlackBerry 8320 Curve—set for initial launch at AT&T—have leaked out at Boy Genius Report, which could mean the actual phone may be making an appearance soon. If you recall, it was announced that the BlackBerry 8320 would be available at AT&T on September 23, but an entire month has passed, and here I sit, with a new AT&T contract, and without a new BlackBerry 8320 in my hand. Bummer. Check out the second pic below, or head over to BGR for more shots. [BGR] More »

Blackberry OS 4.5 Firmware Now Available for T-Mo BB Curve

Blackberry Curve owners on the T-Mobile network will be happy to know that the new Blackberry OS 4.5 firmware update is available for download. The new software adds video recording, a better browser, office doc editing, and an improved email experience. The upgrade can be yours by clicking the T-Mobile link here. [Boy Genius]

BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin) Video Hands On and Comparison

Following up their review of the pre-release BlackBerry Curve 8900 (aka Javelin), the CrackBerry guys decided to shoot a video of it, including both a feature walkthrough and a comparison with the older Curve and the new Bold. It's helpful, since the Javelin really is a combination of the two. Anyway, have a look—thankfully the CB dudes made the video embeddable, so your clickin' finger can rest awhile. [CrackBerry]

BlackBerry Curve 8900 Out Next Month on T-Mobile Germany (Everywhere Else Shortly?)

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]

Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry Curve Coming to AT&T on Sept. 23

In case you don't feel like waiting an extra month for a Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry, AT&T will release the titanium variant of the BlackBerry Curve 8320 on Tuesday, September 23. According to the people at BlackBerry News, the new Curve will run OS 4.5 and cost $200 on a 2-year contract, with a $100 mail-in rebate if you subscribe to a data plan. Sure, the Bold, which has GPS and 3G along with Wi-Fi, is coming in October, but it's also a good $200 more. [BlackBerry News]

Sprint '08-'09 Roadmap Leaked, Shows New Push-to-Talk Blackberry 8350i

Sprint's plans for the next 16 months or so hit the web today, and they pack news of a new BlackBerry, the 8350i. The stout new BB looks to be based on the Curve, with Wi-Fi and GPS along with Direct Connect push-to-talk support without a massive external antenna, which explains the portliness. Looks like a nice offering if your work requires you to be chirpin' at all times, but sadly it doesn't hit until Q4 2009. The rest is a mish-mash of low-end and workgrade gear, which is for your perusal below. More »

Will.I.Am's New Video/BlackBerry Ad Shows the Price of Stealing Music

Sure, Will.I.Am's "One More Chance" video looks like it was directed by RIM, what with it's huge BlackBerry billboard and a prominently featured Curve. But you know what? Everyone's gotta eat, and when we insist on BitTorrenting albums instead of buying them, we should expect this from musicians. Along with Jay-Z shilling beer and Bob Dylan peddling panties, Will found a way to continue making music in a climate of slumping record sales, and it only cost a little piece of his soul. Pirating music is the only choice for many of us today, whether it's out of convenience, cost, DRM or anything else, but we better be prepared to live with the consequence. BlackBerry ad down below.

BlackBerry Curve 8320 Sunset Rises on T-Mobile Today

BlackBerry's Curve gets a "sunset" rust-color treatment, in the 8320 version available from T-Mobile from today. It's the standard 2-megapixel cam, Wi-Fi and quad-band phone, but in this case it's enabled for unlimited HotSpot Calling from T-Mobile hot-spots and Wi-Fi networks, including seamless hand-off to GSM if you leave the Wi-Fi signal area. It's at selected T-Mobile stores and online for $150 with a two-year contract. [BGR]

Leaked Sprint Roadmap Shows Palm Treo 800W, BlackBerry Curve And Possibly the HTC Touch Pro

Here's an alleged upcoming Sprint roadmap for Q3 2008 that shows several interesting phones and several lowbies. What you're probably looking forward to is the Palm Treo 800W and the BlackBerry Curve in red on July 13, but there's also the blue LG Rumor, MotoRAZR VE20, Sanyo Katana Eclipse, Samsung M320, Samsung M220, Moto Renegade V950, HTC MP6950 and Moto i365. The HTC MP6950 sticks out to us since the current HTC Touch is the MP6900, so this probably makes it the Touch Pro with slide-out keyboard. We'd definitely want one of those. [Sprint Users]

Blackberry Curve 8330 Coming To Sprint Tomorrow

Sprint may be a little late to the Blackberry Curve Party, but seeing as the Curve is a great phone, it's never really too late. 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. [Boy Genius via Crunch Gear]

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 »

Verizon's CTIA Phone Lineup: Remakes and Sequels

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: More »

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 »

BlackBerry Curve, Pearl and 8800 Get the Colorware Treatment

Colorware, the company that spruces up iPods, iMacs, iPhones, Zunes and Xbox 360s are coming back with a series of new items starting with BlackBerries on New Year's Eve. If you don't already have a BlackBerry Curve, Pearl or 8800 series, you can pick one up pre-colored directly from them. If you already do have one, you can send your current phone in for colorization. Then again, if you do have a BB, you're probably some kind of corporate "business dude" that might not want their phones accessorized in this way. You be the judge.

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]

RIM's BlackBerry Curve has been added to our Palm Centro Sizemodo, because readers wanted to know how the two stack up, literally.

The BlackBerry Curve will launch in two colors on AT&T: Crimson and Titanium. Or as normal people like to call it, red and gray. [Boy Genius via wireless info]

T-Mobile's Wi-Fi BlackBerry Curve Is Fo' Real and Quite Tasty

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. (Final press release after the jump.) More »

T-Mobile BlackBerry 8320 Curve Now Official: $249 With 2-Year Contract

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]
