As expecected, RIM’s second SurePress BlackBerry has wriggled its way onto T-Mobile in the UK. A 3.2 megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, and BlackBerry OS 5.0. The clicking touchscreen takes some getting used to, but I thought it was alright in my time with the device.
I suspect now that the Vodafone lockdown on the Storm2 is done, so is Verizon’s, and we may see T-Mobile U.S. with the device soon. At very least, Other regional T-Mobile branches should be getting the device across Europe shortly. If you’re interested in picking one up, more info on the BlackBerry 9520 can be found at T-Mobile UK. Plans start at £35.00 a month for 24 months.
