A new thin and light BlackBerry smartphone is coming to T-Mobile: Meet the anticipated BlackBerry Curve 8900.
T-Mobile and Research In Motion will soon release the anticipated BlackBerry Curve 8900, the thinnest and lightest full-QWERTY BlackBerry smartphone to date (see specifications). The BlackBerry Curve 8900 for T-Mobile, in a titanium-colored finish with chrome highlights, combines a compact design with a range of features and a full QWERTY keyboard.
The BlackBerry Curve 8900 features built-in GPS and support for location-based services. It also promises easy access to social networking sites such as Facebook and has built-in Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) supporting both voice and data.
Equipped with a 1400 mAh battery, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 will offer a talk time of 5.5 hours and a standby time of up to 14 days. Its multimedia capabilities include a 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, a 3.5mm stereo headset jack and a microSD/microSDHC memory card slot with a 256MB card inserted. The memory slot supports up to 16GB memory cards.
The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is also equipped with a media player capable of playing DivX 4 (DivX 5/6 and XviD partially supported), MPEG4, H.263 and WMV3 video formats, as well as all common music formats. It’ll come pre-loaded with BlackBerry Maps powered by Telenav.
Productivity and messaging features include easy setup of personal as well as corporate e-mail accounts, instant messaging as well as viewing and editing of Microsoft World, Excel and PowerPoint files. The BlackBerry Curve 8900 will also offer RIM’s great range of calling features, including voice dialing, smart dialing, conference calling, mute button, speakerphone, background noise cancellation, speed dial, call forwarding and voice attachment playback as well as click-to-call integrated dialing.
Needless to say, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 will be among the most significant releases on T-Mobile’s network this year. A great Web browser is still missing, but so is support for 3G data speeds. Check out a comparison between the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and the BlackBerry Bold (AT&T) here.
The BlackBerry Curve 8900 for T-Mobile will be available in February 2009. The price has not yet been announced.
