Hands-On with AT&T BlackBerry 8900
By Simon Sage on Thursday, May 7th, 2009 at 2:44 PM PST In AT&T, Hottest Hardware, WES 2009
So, there was no BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) 9630 Niagara/Tour announcement at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium as we had all hoped, but AT&T (NYSE: T) was more than happy to show off their newest baby, the BlackBerry 8900 Curve. T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) may have already had it for a few months, but no doubt there will be plenty of folks married to AT&T by choice or otherwise who would appreciate the option. It should be out sometime this summer, but for a closer look at the hardware, take a look at our BlackBerry 8900 Curve Review. If you’re looking to get your thumbs all over this phone, after launch we’ll be giving away the freebie from AT&T’s excellent WES party with Kenny Loggins (whose “Danger Zone” from Top Gun goes through my head every time I take off in a plane).
I’ll be the first to ask… (I hope) how do I apply for the free one once the 8900 AT&T is launched? And please don’t tell me “Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full” Oh, and thanks… I now have Danger Zone stuck in my head!
I second the “how to” get the free 8900 comment. The AT&T party was great; just curious how we get the freebie 8900.
AT&T won’t be shipping out the phones until official launch, so as soon as we get ours, we’ll announce the giveaway on The Signal podcast.
Simon, my wife and I had a great time sitting next to you guys at the AT&T event….
Have you heard how/when we are going to get these freebies???
I got in touch with AT&T, and apparently press weren’t signed on for the freebies. Bah. Sorry for getting your hopes up, guys.
