Rogers begins shipping Curve 8520 literature; launch to come sooner than we think?

IMG00022-20090915-1731

In case anyone had doubts that Rogers is on the cusp of releasing the BlackBerry Curve 8520, Rogers dealerships across the country have just begun receiving literature for RIM’s latest low-cost QWERTY smartphone. No surprises were included with the official documentation, but the appearance of the literature so early indicates that Rogers might be planning to push out the 8520 ahead of schedule. If this is the case, it’s likely because Rogers doesn’t want to draw attention away from the Bold 9700, which still seems to be on track for a release before November.

    would be nice as a spare though. but such a super downgrade if you already have a Bold or 8900.

    Yes. The 8520 has been in our “hardware eligibility” screen for 2 weeks now. Should be an easy sell to the “tweens” haha.

    It’s exactly targeted to a very entry level crowd. Very low cost. A lot of nice touches, the track pad works very well, the media buttons are cool and the rubbery feel and general finish are good. 3G, I can live without esp in a BB, no flash can be a bummer… but no GPS?? I can’t live wihtout that.
