T-Mobile and Research In Motion officially announced the consumer-friendly BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphone will be available on August 5.
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 (black or frost) is for people who like to be connected to
email, messaging (IM, SMS, MMS) and popular social networking sites
(including Facebook and MySpace) and features a
full-QWERTY keyboard. Multimedia features include music, games and other
mobile apps for entertainment on the go.
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphone is a world phone, and is also
Wi-Fi for web browsing and Wi-Fi
calling. T-Mobile customers can continue to get great mobile coverage
and unlimited nationwide Wi-Fi calling with T-Mobile's Unlimited
HotSpot Calling service as well as unlimited nationwide calling to five
people with T-Mobile myFaves service.
BlackBerry Curve 8520 introduces an innovative
touch-sensitive optical trackpad. It is also the first
BlackBerry smartphone to feature dedicated media keys. This model does not have cellular high-speed data access, therefore users will probably prefer Wi-Fi access for this BlackBerry.
You should be able to get the new BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphone from T-Mobile on or about August 5.
