BlackBerry 8900 Curve on T-Mobile Germany

Known to all of you by it’s codename of Javelin, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 has cropped up on the website of T-Mobile Germany. The EDGE-only device which features GPS, Wi-Fi, 480×360 HVGA+ screen and a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus is listed as coming soon with a targeted release date of November. A lot of you probably remember how T-Mobile Germany was continuously changing the launch month of the Bold, but don’t count on any other month to see the launch of the Curve 8900 - RIM is an old pro with EDGE devices.

Thanks, Joe!

    Why does it not have HSPDA? Is the Chip so much more? TMO in Germany I thought has the 3G all up and running.

    Blackberry has a full qwerty 3g phone, but their edge line is kinda missing (either GPS, or WIFI or Camera. Not all 3 in the same device) So this would be a great replacement for the curve and 88xx series devices. plus its got the killer screen and 4.6sw.

    RIM only started developing 3G devices bc of AT&T, this has been in the pipeline for a while. It is also coming to T-Mo USA, which has under 20 live 3G markets.

    Funny how RIM has been providing Verizon Wireless 3G devices since, um… 2006… but is having a hard time making them for at&t? Personally, I think at&t is the one with the problem not the other way around.

    Although I do like this device, I’m itching more for the new Storm

    I too would like to know more about the
    problems providing a 3G chipset for HSPA as opposed to EVDO..

    Anyway this is a cool looking Bold like device.

    and it doesnt have 3G because it would cannabolize Bold sales if it did.

    @soooo

    RIM partnered up with Vodafone in 2006 to bring the 8707v to market. It was the first 3G GSM BlackBerry.

    I’m at a loss. Yes this is definately being marketed as a value version of the Bold targeted more toward consumers but to leave off 3G? CDMA providers haven’t done this, why do they feel this is acceptable for GSM? Reduce other functionality such as internal storage, wifi, whatever (don’t touch the screen).

    For a split second, my crazy brain thought this said the headline said “Blackberry STORM drops on T-Mobile” then I fainted from excitement… Imagine my disappointment after waking up.

    One for me please! This phone is the evolution of the Curve 83XX. It would have been nice to have 3G on it, but leaving it off will makethis a stable phone with some great new features (4x RAM and an bigger screen than the Bold!

    The 7290 was the first 3g capable bb, not an 87xx series.

    @ Jeff,

    The 7290 was GPRS. The 7250 was EV-DO capable, but was not enabled until a firmware update came out later. Technically, the first Blackberry on the market for sale with 3g (EV-DO) out of the box was the 7130e.

    Furthermore, the 7130e came out in November of 2005, so 3g Blackberry’s have been out for almost 3 years now.

    This will probably hit the US before the Bold is released… funny how things work sometimes. I was initially looking at the Javelin over the Bold.
