BlackBerry 8520 in the mix for T-Mobile in the fourth quarter?

You know what makes a lot of sense? The EDGE-only BlackBerry 8520 hitting T-Mobile USA, that's what. The carrier's already shown a penchant for launching pretty 2.5G BlackBerrys in the past, and the 8520 would be a perfect way to continue that tradition (not to say we totally support continuing any 2.5G tradition, but it is what it is). Boy Genius Report is apparently hearing that there's a Q4 launch in store for the so-called Gemini on T-Mobile USA, which feels a bit late to us -- but maybe they're just looking to give the 8900 some breathing room. Trackball for the weekdays, optical mouse for the weekends, maybe?

At least it'll be another device to choose from. It'll be kind of hard for T-Mo to release a 3G blackberry if a device with AWS does not exist, won't it? I think the ball would be in RIM's court on that one..
