The new BlackBerry Curve 3G is official and on its way to the UK.
Canadian network giant Rogers began selling the Curve 3G last week, despite RIM claiming the low-end Qwerty handset didn't exist.
Well, it certainly does now.
The BlackBerry Curve 3G [1], also known as the 9300, matches its predecessor, the 8520, but features a chrome and black finish, includes 3G capability, GPS and has an 802.11n Wi-Fi connection. Unfortunately, it still packs the same shoddy 2Mp camera and a low-res 320 x 240 screen. On the plus side, RIM declares an OS 6.0 update is on the way.
The BlackBerry Curve 3G is out this month, with prices yet to be confirmed. ®
