T-Mobile USA to Offer Customers the Thinnest and Lightest Full-QWERTY BlackBerry Smartphone

New BlackBerry Curve 8900 Smartphone Delivers GPS, Wi-Fi, Enhanced Multimedia Capabilities and More
Bellevue, Wash., and Waterloo, Ontario - T-Mobile USA, Inc., and Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM: TSX: RIM) today announced that T-Mobile® will offer its customers the new BlackBerry® Curve™ 8900 smartphone, the thinnest and lightest full-QWERTY BlackBerry smartphone.

Prior to retail availability, customers can learn more about the BlackBerry Curve 8900 at BlackBerry - BlackBerry Curve 8900 Coming to T-Mobile.


BlackBerry - Press Release


The specs


Taken from this site T-Mobile officially announces the BlackBerry Curve 8900, coming in February | BlackBerry Cool


This morning, T-Mobile and RIM put official word to what BlackBerry Cool readers have known for awhile. The T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8900 will launch this February, at an undetermined date (although we have two good ideas for you). While there’s no word on pricing yet, we do know that T-Mobile is including a 256MB MicroSD card in the Curve 8900, which is so small as to be practically useless. You can find a link to the BlackBerry Curve 8900’s specs (PDF) and RIM’s Curve 8900 page below, as well as the full press release after the jump.


Still, they have some nice older style ones for sale in Thailand here.

I don't think it will be such a long wait. One could always purchase this particular item online, yes? If you're not too much of a Luddite, blackberries are kinda fun to have!!

I was last in Hong Kong about 4 years ago, the pc stuff they had then in the shops has only been out in Thailand for a year or so, so it seems we are being kept well behind in all this hi-tech stuff

never liked those, almost fell for the gay iPhone though

Instead got myself a Macmini Media Center, not as gay and very useful for watching Porn

Hint of gayness about them, probably ok until you

Lose it, get it stolen, leave it in your backpocket and break it by sitting on it and realise you dont use half the features on it.

Nearly had this one stolen but got it back before the thief could get out the door!

I can see why people get pissed off with them because your available 24/7 but I missed it when I went a few weeks without after loosing my first one.

+I've stuck an 8Gig micro SD in it so I use it as an Mp3 instead of the ipod. It syncs all my itunes when I connect to my laptop. I know you can do this with most phones but I've only just worked it out.
