The unannounced BlackBerry Curve 9300 has earned its FCC wings today, including support for CDMA and AWS bands. We’ve seen a lot of the BlackBerry 9300, code-named Kepler, but there are still a few unclear details, like whether it has 256 MB or 512 MB of application memory, or if it will be launching with OS 5 or OS 6. The camera may also be bumped up to 3.2 megapixels (though there’s still no solid proof), and though we’re sure T-Mobile’s going to be picking up the 9300, we still don’t know which carriers will be getting the CDMA 9330.

In any case, it looks pretty much identical to the 8500-series, and won’t be much more than an iterative advancement, but the big question is how much of a jump it will be.
