Verizon’s first Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) looks like it’s getting ready to go, as SKUs of dummy units in both black and lavender paint jobs have shown up in their internal inventory. Besides the long-awaited inclusion of Wi-Fi and running on a CDMA network, the BlackBerry 8530 is just about identical to the Curve 8520 recently released on T-Mobile.
