T-Mobile's BlackBerry Curve 8900 seemingly pegged for February 11

Product delays are the greasy, disgusting lubricant that keep the wheels of the consumer electronics world turning, so when we hear of something being pushed back a week, a month, or a quarter, we really don't think much of it. Moving a launch up, though -- well, that's a totally different ball game, and it always brings a smile to our faces. Word on the street had been that T-Mobile USA would take delivery of the luscious new Curve 8900 come February 18, but now we're hearing it's actually coming a week earlier on February 11, just in time to stuff RIM's latest hardware in your loved one's box of chocolates, bouquet, or gift basket of sundry sausages, cheeses, and jams. 'Course, WiFi and 3.2-megapixel cam might be enough to get you to dump your life partner flat on his / her / its ass, so don't blame us if this thing wrecks your otherwise happy home.

Yea...

Little jealous of T-Moblie right now.

I hope this comes to other networks, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Paul Mensah @ Jan 5th 2009 5:11PM]

I doubt this will come to other networks. It looks like RIM made something for everyone:

T-Mobile got the new CURVE
AT&T got the new BOLD
VERIZON got the new STORM

&

Sprint will go bankrupt or get bought by the end of the year so they didnt get anything.

Sprint is gettng a cdma javelin and bold this quarter

Feb 14th would have been more appropriate .. but on the whole women prefer jewelery to electronic devices .. leave a little in the budget for those diamond earrings chaps ..

[Jack @ Jan 5th 2009 5:35PM]

Contrary to belief, I know a woman who loves her electronics...my mom! That old woman can work Exel like you wouldn't BELIEVE!
Already got her diamonds. This year she gets a Saga...refuses to upgrade from her Q. Yes, ORIGINAL Q. WinMo5...*barf*

[Landon @ Jan 5th 2009 7:46PM]

What a dee dee deee....

[soobin27 @ Jan 5th 2009 5:54PM]

I wonder who the genius was at Verizon that bargained for the pos Storm.
Probably the same genius that decided to turn down the iPhone.

[zbot @ Jan 5th 2009 6:09PM]

No 3G....yawn. Get with it, T-Mo!

[TopaZ @ Jan 5th 2009 6:24PM]

I get really confused with RIM's fragmented product lines

The Curves, the 8830's, the Bold

Which is the GOOD ONE?

[Alex @ Jan 5th 2009 6:44PM]

High speed internet, huh?

[Kesey @ Jan 5th 2009 7:03PM]

No 3G, but via WiFi

[shhhh-bbguy @ Jan 5th 2009 11:33PM]

For me, 3G would be nice, but I can live without it.

For those of you praying for a 3G version...you're prayers might be answered 2HCY09 with the 9220/Magnum; Basically it's 8900 w/3G and supposedly with Touch.

Lots of speculation out there that though ATT has some 8900s in stock, with their downgrading of EDGE service and "recent" release of the 8320, they might just skip it in favor of the 9220/Magnum.

We'll see what happens...but as for me, Feb. 11th (hopefully it sticks) is on my calendar!

[Drew @ Jan 7th 2009 10:37PM]

Yes!! That is great news indeed. It gets moved up a week....sweeet!! Uhhh, TMo get my full upgrade ready....
