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.
