It’s not like we didn’t see it coming, but AT&T has gone official with the BlackBerry 8900 Curve. Wi-Fi, a nice screen, slim profile, GPS and the classically awesome keyboard are all solid selling points, but don’t look twice if 3G is a deal-breaker for you. UMA support for Wi-Fi calling is there, as well as access to AT&T’s 20,000-odd hotspots with an unlimited plan. It’s funny, AT&T branding was some of the first we saw of the 8900, and yet T-Mobile has been hogging all the glory since February. AT&T’s offering will be available as of “early summer”. Can’t wait? Check out our review of the BlackBerry 8900 Curve.
