The new BlackBerry Curve recently made available on T-Mobile U.S. and eventually coming to Airtel will also be making a pit stop in the UK by way of Vodafone. Internal databases list the price at £165, which boils down to free after plans are taken into account. The same tipster also confirms earlier talk that we’ll be seeing the Storm 2 on Vodafone in October – always welcome news. In preparation, they’ve dropped the price on the original Storm from £400 to £387, and the Bold is also getting a drop: £407 from £380. The 8520 Curve is something of a one-trick pony (the new trackpad), and the flashless 2 megapixel camera and modest 320 x 240 display certainly aren’t doing it many favours, but it will still handle e-mail like champ. Our own unit is on the way, so keep an eye out for a review soon!
