BlackBerry Curve 8900 available at AT&T on May 22
The BlackBerry Curve 8900 has been out for a few months now via T-Mobile, but as of Friday, May 22, the phone will be available through AT&T for $199.99 with a two-year contract, and after a $100 mail-in rebate.
The Curve 8900 is the slimmest full-QWERTY BlackBerry. It also has a 3.2-megapixel camera, a 480 x 360 display, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and a full HTML Web browser. It also has a microSD/SDHC card slot, which can house cards up to 32GB.
I haven’t tried the AT&T version yet, but I played around with the T-Mobile one and I really enjoyed it. The video quality is good, and the browser is fast. ZDNet’s own Matthew Miller reviewed the Curve 8900 back in January and recently said it’s one of the best overall BlackBerry devices available.
If you’re a faithful AT&T customer waiting to get your hands on the new BlackBerry, hold tight, there’s only a few more days. Let us know what you think of the phone when you get it in the comments section below.
