T-Mobile launching BlackBerry Curve (8320) on September 24th
Well, isn’t this a glorious day. You begged, you pleaded with the T-Mobile gods, and now we finally have something concrete. It seems as if September 24th is the rumored launch date set in stone for one of the most anticipated BlackBerry devices to date — the BlackBerry Curve with WiFi + UMA (8320). We’ve got a string of other handsets we’re sifting through at moment from our oh-so-fabulous informants, but in the meantime, I guess we can all just "marinate" on this BlackBerry Curve launch date. Yeah, it’s golden. Hey T-Mobz, care to send us an embargoed unit? Thank ya’s
Thanks, tmophonehome!
Great news for TMO fans! Now dig out the same for when the Pearl 2 is going to drop on VZ.
Oh and … first. Wow. I feel kind of like a tool now.
Man sprint sprint sprint, im happy with the 8830 but this would be a good device to add to your lineup. just to beef it up make it more appealing . I cannot use a camera phone cause of work etc.. but i think about you little guys.
Wake up sprint and get the curve!
I screamed and spiked my box full of Teddy Grahams .
This has been an emotional rollercoaster. =_0)
Hopefully it’ll be unlocked. A good Christmas present for myself! Yiiipppeee!
Tmobile@Home?
Oh My God!! MY dreams just came true tonite and THANK YOU BGR!!!!
weres the 8820 tmo?
better yet weres our HSDPA?
I just saw this AFTER being on the phone with RIM’s tech support for 1.5 HOURS trying to fix my 8700!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I can’t wait to get one of these! Finally!
This phone is going to be HOT! I am not sure if I am loving the gold though.
Yes, the T-Mobile 8320 is a Hotspot@Home phone.
Well I would totally go to tmo for this if their service wasn’t as bad as Sprint’s.
Thank. Gawd. BGR, you rock as always
at least tmobile has better customer service then sprint!
they somehow need to cram GPS on the 8320 to make it the perfect berry
AMEN Benedict!! I’m on sprint now and it’s not as friendly T-mobile customer service.
Please give me the Pearl 2 on At & T. PLEASE?
Hopefully this means the 8820 will be released soon.
*comes back to reality*
TMo with WiFi is great (as I look for free hotspots)…no wait my Sprint BB with EVDO that works everywhere is even better….
So, with this device having UMA it means that it is compatible with the Hot Spot at Home service?
Wait does this kill the chance for the 8820? I hope not…
Tmo gods can you get me the BB 8820, I cant take Camera’s to client sites!
*lights the candle*
I got to use the Curve with UMA running back in May – no special wifi router was needed. It works phenomenally and the battery life was unbelievable with the EDGE, WiFi and Bluetooth radios running. This will be a big one. The lack of GPS is the only drawback.
T-Mobile isn’t going to carry the 8820 – they’re skipping it (for now).
@ADK…
Are we sure that gold is the color? I think it’s just discoloration of the graphic. I find it hard to believe that RIM and T-Mobile would release such a love it or hate it BB.
it’s about time. i been battling the urge to break down and just buy an unlocked curve on ebay. i cannot wait for this phone. this is great. you just made my night.
i have an 8800 now, since they have been “phasing out” the 8800s would insurance cover the cost of the new curve if i “lose” my 8800?
We need HSDPA!

I really hope it only “looks” gold in the picture. I really like the titanium colored one, that is sharp!
But BGR mentions the color in the description, second to last line.
“Yeah its golden”. I am hoping its not true.
