BlackBerry Curve 8900 Released Online a Day Early
You just try to get the timing perfect: set the date, press releases go out, online content is ready and set to be published on the right date, the poster boards are made and the window stickers are ordered, all to go up on that one date. And then one person gets confused, hits publish too soon and all that planning and careful organization goes down the drain. Ok, maybe it wasn’t quite that bad, but the BlackBerry Curve 8900 went up for sale online from AT&T a day before it was supposed to be released. Details after the jump.
There’s no reason to complain if a cool phone goes on sale a little early. While one day doesn’t make that much of a difference, it does give the blogosphere something to buzz about. The Curve 8900 is for sale online for $200 after a $100 mail-in rebate.
The latest from RIM, the Curve 8900 sports voice-guided GPS, Wi-Fi (free at AT&T hotspots … with an unlimited data plan) and, according to Boy Genius Report an OS 4.6.1 instead of 5.0. A little disappointing considering the slick features and design on this smartphone, but it probably won’t be enough to deter potential buyers. The 3.88-ounce 8900 looks like it has enough features to be more than just your phone, it could be your life.
