AT&T launching white BlackBerry 8900?
One of our connects just hit us up with this shot, and it would appear that RIM has a theme going on. Step 1: make successful handset in black, step 2: relaunch said handset in white. Almost a month after the vastly popular vanilla BlackBerry Bold hit the streets, AT&T and RIM are teaming up to bring you the WhiteBerry Curve 8900 sans color, or is it the presence of all the colors? Whatever. Now, the 8900 won’t have the sensual white leather back, but the white bezel looks pretty sexy to us; as a group that enjoys simultaneously eating Cheetos and text messaging we can’t say that we’re too upset about the omission of the white keyboard either. So what do you think? Is this the BlackBerry you’ve been waiting for? Actually, scratch that, this thing is already outdated. This is the BlackBerry you’ve been waiting for.
Thanks, Gabe Jr.!

I agree!
those black white scheme taken from nokia’s E71 books i believe.
RIM most uncreative company EVER.
That looks just like the same silver bezel it has now. Probably just a crappy picture.
I agree 100% the 9700 is it!
White Bold looked good but i am not sure about this Black and White 8900.
I am expecting my 9700 from AT&T to arrive today!
where did you get it from
they arent even saleing them yet…
Nice but I would also liked it with a white keyboard too.

the device is made by RIM, genius, not at&t.
Oh goodie! Everyone else gets cool NEW phones and at&t trots out a blackberry in a new color. Don’t want to step on lord Apple do they?
I can’t stand at&t, but they offer more devices than any other carrier. What’s your point?
Now it just looks like a Fisher Price toy…
The service isn’t bad. And white? I like my black 8900 that I’m currently using and my black bold that I have as a back up.
I have both of these phones as well (Curve is personal, Bold is work hooked up to BES). AT&T’s 3G is super spotty, even in a metro area. I drop it quite often at my house (I live in the middle of Pittsburgh!) but at least their edge service is okay.
i just want to know if the 8900 is coming to sprint, the 8530 is…..ok but i would rather wait for the 8900 cause the tour is a lil to big for what i want
Did the morons this time add 3G? PLEASE! I can buy a $12 bezel on eBay and do the same! In fact, i’m about to black out my Tour…should I bring it to RIM or AT&T and let them know theres more money to squeeze out of people?
Just come out with my Bold2 hurry up! Who cares about a white bezel eBay is fit that.

The 9000 looks fine in white but Im not digging the 8900 in white.
At least they didnt put white leather on the back of it. That would have been dirty and stained in less than a week.
I have had a white one for the last month, and it has the white keyboard!
as it should.
This is a joke, right??
White phones don’t work, never have. VZW had one and it’s ugly. AT&T/RIM should have picked puke green or yellow piss for the color instead…the phone would sell a lot better.
This should not be classified under exclusives, as it is not. Had this posted up an entire day before ya here: http://www.bbleaks.com/2009/11/at-releasing-white-curve-8900.html
okay, Verizon and Sprint have “new” phones running Android, and all AT&T can come out with as “new” is a white 8900 and the 9000 Bold in white. Way to go AT&T, RIM puts a dress on a pig and AT&T calls it new. A pig is a pig no matter what you put on it, now not that BlackBerry is a pig, just my two cents, and in today’s world that won’t even buy a cheap cup of coffee.
This is bullshit. I know it’s “news” sort of and I know bgr ought to report it but wtf?? Rim or AT&T had backlogs of this thing and thought if they put some stupid trim on it they could sell a bunch? And like dude above said, the keyboard is still black, so…
Who is going to buy this?
I agree with other dude who said just release the 9700 already.
At this point aesthetics are not much of an issue. It’s the guts of the device that matter.

AT&T Getting no love here lol.
from what I read here At&t coverage really does suck.
Are you guys blind???????
It is just 8900 with white rubber skin on it!!!!!
It is not white javelin!!!
Why hate on AT
ummm!!! first the phone is not WHITE. the company that does at&t’s “prints” can’t seem to do silver correctly. it was the same with the samsung mythic, sony eric c905a, and various others.
TRE is correct, that is NOT white, clearly someone doesnt know their primary colors.
