Blackberry’s Curve 8900, keeping many of the Curve name’s usual features but adding in a little from Bold, launched on T-Mobile Germany today for only $6 with a 2-year contract (or $450 without). Not bad at all and a sure sign that once it makes its way to North America it’ll be aggressively priced as well. Featuring a 480 x 360 screen, 512 MHz processor, GPS, quad-band EDGE and Wi-Fi support, and a 3.2 megapixel camera, the Curve 8900 is a sure bet for $6. Does anyone know if this is the enigmatic Javelin?
Update: The Blackberry Curve 8900 is the phone formerly known as Javelin. Additionally, from Seeking Alpha:
“T-Mobile will offer a free six-month trial promotion for those who buy the smartphone and subscribe to or extend a BlackBerry Internet Service [BIS] plan that go for as little as €4.95 per month. The promotion will initially be limited until December 31, 2008.”
