Rogers had released the BlackBerry Curve 8520 in the fall in black and lavendar colour options, but now the fashion-conscious can now consider a white version, as well. Personally, I prefer the classic black, but white has already been making the rounds on the Bold 9000, and I’ve seen more than a few in the wild up here in Canada. T-Mobile has already been offering the 8520 in white for a few months – it would be nice if we could get some exclusive colours on Rogers, like the red that telus managed to snag for the 8530. If you’re wondering about more than the paint job, I’d suggest you check out our review. As for actually picking up this snazzy new Curve, it’s not showing up on the Rogers online store yet, but it might be worth visiting your local store to see if they’ve got any.
