BlackBerry Curve 8900 gets official for T-Mobile Germany

by Chris Ziegler posted Nov 12th 2008 at 10:53AM

Beep beep, outta the way, incoming RIM product blitz! Seriously, this is like a high-powered corporate executive's dream -- not one, not two, not three, not four, but five major product launches out of Waterloo in the span of a few months' time. Latest out of the gate is the 8900 Curve, successor to the 8300 series featuring a heavily-upgraded 480 x 360 display, microSD support to 16GB, WiFi, 3.2-megapixel cam with autofocus, and integrated GPS. Sadly, network data tops out at EDGE speeds -- but if you really need more, we s'pose that's where the Bold comes into play. No word on any launches outside of Bavaria just yet, but on T-Mobile Germany, the 8900 is available "mid November" (which is basically now) for €4.95 (yes, that's not a typo, 4.95 euros) on a 24-month contract.

So....easy to assume it'd be $149.99-$199.99 in America on a 2 year. Yup.

Yes, but you forget that we pay much lower monthly fees than they do.

I really REALLY want this though. The Bold is too big, and where I am, I don't even have 3G, so that advantage is moot.
