BlackBerry Curve 8520 now available from T-Mobile
Hmmm. Here you are thinking, “Wow, I really want one of those sweet new BlackBerry Curves with an optical sensor trackpad and that slim, sleek body — I’m just not sure what to pay!” $49? $130? $49? $130? The decision is difficult indeed, but it’s time to get cracking folks. The Curve 8520 is now live and ripe for the picking on T-Mobile’s site. You can either cough up $130 and then sit back and relax while Tmo rushes it to your doorstep, or you can get up off your couch and snag one from your neighborhood Walmart for $49. In either case, if cheap is the route you’re looking to go you’ll end up with a sexy entry level BlackBerry handset and Tmo’s insanely competitive $10 BIS plan (well, unless you’re on a BES). The only question is whether saving $81 is worth not having to deal with moving, traffic, Walmart or human contact in general. We’ll just go ahead and call Tmo’s ballooned pricing a recluse tax.
What the hell is the point? A 130 dollar budget BlackBerry that costs 20 dollars less than the top of the line 8900. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck that.
Uncle Bernie, “Retards In Motion?” I’d like to see an ad for that. Would only make sense if featuring an AT&T supplied device though.
Yeah it definitely isn’t worth getting it from T-Mobile directly. How can it be priced $129.99 when Walmart has it for $50??
not when you can get the 8900 for $149…or free from amazon, wirefly, etc.
It’s a cheaper device and the 8900 is a much better device but I’d buy the 8520 in a heartbeat to get rid of having a tracball!
