  • T-Mobile BlackBerry 8320 Curve busts out with WiFi in the wild

    We’ve finally gotten the chance to lay eyes on Research In Motion’s (RIM) WiFi toting T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8320. With a launch date slated for September 24, it makes sense that we’re starting to see this thing out in the wild. If you’ll remember, the BlackBerry Curve 8320 packs in the same 2 megapixel camera, quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM radio with EDGE, Bluetooth, microSD card slot, QWERTY-keyboard, and myFaves support of it’s younger sibling, the BlackBerry Curve 8300 . The images you see above (and below) are the first of the WiFi enabled device in the wild, and it’s Gold! While it’s not unusual for carriers to release a device with a new feature in an eye-catching new color, we’re not sure if Gold was the right choice for the BlackBerry 8320 Curve. Boy Genius does expect a silver/titanium color from T-Mobile at launch, so we’ll hold out for more “live” pictures of the more standard color scheme. Keep reading for more pics of the Gold BlackBerry 8320 Curve with WiFi.

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , ATT , GSM , GPRS , EDGE Hold up on that 8800 purchase, ladies and gentlemen; its slimmer, hipper, more feature-packed cousin hits in less than 24 hours.

Features AT&T's touting include a lovely QVGA display with automatic light sensor, integrated spell checker (a BlackBerry first), noise cancellation, Bluetooth 2.0, push-to-talk support, comprehensive media support including a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 2 megapixel cam.

  • AT&T sez "June 13" for BlackBerry 8300?

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , ATT-Cingular , GSM , EDGE AT&T customers can rest easy when it comes to getting their BlackBerry addiction satisfied as of late. First, it was the Pearl-esque 8800 reaching AT&T customers months before T-Mobile -- and now it's the BlackBerry 8300 , allegedly hitting on the 13th of next month. It's still unclear whether or not AT&T axed the WiFi or not because the product sheets are show it will be launched with support, however the testers are saying "no way." Oh, might as well 86 the intergrated GPS , too, becuase it won't make this version either. But don't sweat too much -- there's already another version in the works that adds location based services for you map lovin' folks. Keep a lookout for the pricing deets!

  • BlackBerry 8300 Curve to hit Rogers in June?

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , Rogers Wireless , GSM , GPRS , EDGE Rumor has it that the BlackBerry Curve is gonna land at Rogers come early June and while the info we have is pretty sketchy, a refresh of their current stable does make good clean sense. We've hammered out the details on RIM's new offering again and again , so we won't give that a rehash, but suffice it to say, the lighter, prettier and QWERTY-capable Curve will make many a business user grin. Bring it on we say, bring it on, and of course as per usual, if you have more info for us to round out the news on this, drop us a line.

  • BlackBerry Curve review roundup

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , ATT-Cingular , O2 , GSM , GPRS , EDGE Craving a BlackBerry 8300 "Curve" review with a little more journalistic juice to it than, say, John Mayer's ? Look no further, friends; we've got you covered with a three-pack of previews for the device. Sentiment for Waterloo's latest QWERTY handset is overwhelmingly positive, focusing on a few key points: great keyboard, great media support (a 3.5mm jack sure doesn't hurt there), and surprisingly good battery life. The camera seems to be decent -- all 2 megapixels of it, anyway -- and none of the lucky previewers seemed too bummed about the EDGE-only data speeds. Throw in what might be the most attractive case on a RIM phone to date, and it seems the Curve might do the seemingly impossible by filling both Pearl and 8800 owners with envy when it launches on AT&T in the not-too-distant future.

  • The BlackBerry Curve

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , GSM , GPRS , EDGE Picture an 8800 with its tie loosened and a couple buttons undone, and this here is pretty much what you'd get. Hot on the heels of the aforementioned 8800, RIM has officially taken the wraps off its hotly anticipated (and well scooped ) 8300 " Curve ," a device that takes the standard QWERTY BlackBerry formula and throws in a handful of consumer-friendly features for good measure. Clearly at the top of the list is a 2 megapixel cam with integrated flash -- but other goodies include comprehensive media support (WMA, WMV, and H.263 all make the cut), stereo Bluetooth, a true 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD expansion for when you exhaust (quickly) your 64MB of internal ROM, and a 15.5mm thick shell that's pretty stylish by RIM standards. Now that the phone's official, we're hoping to see it hit AT&T -- among other carriers -- in the coming weeks. [Via The Boy Genius Report ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

  • BlackBerry 8300 coming to AT&T next month?

    Filed under: Handsets , RIM , ATT-Cingular , GSM , GPRS , EDGE Rumors are just that -- rumors -- until they start to take shape and more people can confirm them. That being said, this one's pretty juicy: sources tell us AT&T the BlackBerry 8300 has appeared on their internal website with a tentative ("tentative" as in "close our eyes and hope for the best") launch date of May 25th. That date would fall right in line with Boy Genius and his predictions , making for a fabulous month of May (for BlackBerry fans, anyhow!).
