So if RIM releases a version of this phone with 3G six months later, then would you buy that? I mean seriously, just because *this* phone is only sporting EDGE doesn't mean RIM is not planning to put HSDPA phones into their Curve and Pearl stables, but they have not even released their first one to market. The original Pearl was 10 months after the 8700 (RIM's first EDGE product) was launched.
This product just looks like an updated Curve with (finally!) all the features that people wanted in the first Gen. It may sell to people that were desperately holding on to their 7200's but don't want to pay the additional cost of HSDPA - it's not like it will be the last BB ever made :P

if this replaces the curve, and it does in fact not come with 3g, my curve will be the last blackberry i ever buy.
