RIM and Vodafone release BlackBerry Curve 8310 with GPS in Germany

I’ve always liked the Curve’s look more than the one of the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) 8800. It’s smaller, more compact and fits the palm (NSDQ: PALM) much better. Although, the BlackBerry Curve 8310 lacks the integrated WiFi from its bigger brother – 8820, it also brings some location awareness to the table, thanks to the built-in GPS module. And just like all other BlackBerrys it lacks UMTS or HSDPA radio — but then again, you don’t actually need it that much for syncing your email with a corporate server.

Anyway, the Big Red carrier is releasing the latest RIM’s baby in Germany. Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) also bundled its Vodafone Navigator software to the device to show you just how cool it is have a navigation on your mobile phone. All this is available for 99.90 EUR paired with a Vodafone Business Kombipaket Zuhause 240 plan, a mere bargain for pushing your push-email habit to the next, location aware level.
