The new BlackBerry Curve came out on T-Mobile Germany earlier this week, but you might have heard that T-Mobile does a little bit of business the other side of the pond, too. Rumours are floating that the BlackBerry 8900 is coming to North American shores in the first quarter of 2009, likely from T-Mobile and hopefully Rogers, since it’s been on their roadmap since June. No word on pricing (Germans are getting it for next to nothing on contract), but the new Curve will well be worth having the Bold’s screen in a slimmer form factor and with a better camera, but no 3G continues to give the BlackBerry 9000 the edge.
