Blackberry Curve 8900 Emerges
Rahul Srinivas, Dec 05, 2008 1651 hrs ISTLaunch imminent
We finally have something to hear about the new Curve which slid into hibernation for almost two months - from the RIM stables. The phone is expected to ship today in the form of a low-key corporate launch.
While the Storm and the Bold dominated the scene for a better part of this year, many seem to have forgotten the Blackberry Curve 8900 that was showcased a few months ago. The 8900, also know as the Javelin, is a smaller, non-3G sibling of the Bold.
With bigger, well-endowed cousins' launch being the priority, the 8900 seems to have been "sidelined". If that was not all, the Storm is still facing multiple issues with its software versions resulting in the folks at RIM left extremely busy.
Now that some of the issues with the Storm have been fixed. RIM seems to have turned its attention back to the younger sibling, Curve.
General consumers should get their first devices by December 8, according to fresh rumors. The 8900's spec list has been published on Blackberry News.
Let's hope this one lands in India too. With 3G still seeing no signs of arrival, the Curve might turn out to be a cheaper alternative to the Storm or the Bold.
