T-Mobile branded BlackBerry Curve 8520 aka Gemini Spotted in Wild!

branded-tmo-bb-gemini8520

Hmm look what has been caught in the wild! It’s an unreleased T-Mobile branded BlackBerry Curve 8520. The 8520 is also known as the Gemini and has been spotted many times before. From what we know the 8520 will be part of the low end BlackBerry family, possibly to replace the existing 8300 series. It’s been rumored to be coming on to T-Mobile in the way of Prepaid service, however nothing has been confirmed yet. This may be a low end berry but it does like slick. It features a 2.0 megapixel camera with no flash and only GSM with EDGE data, Wi-Fi, dedicated music keys on the top and RIM’s new Optical Trackpad for navigation. Not ETA on when the device will launch, although it’s thought to be launching  within the next few months.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 arriving at T-Mobile Q4, 2009

curve8520

Boy Genius got some hands-on time with the BlackBerry Curve 8520 (previously code-named Gemini). As you may know the 8520 is set to RIM’s new low cost addition to the Curve family featuring an all new optical trackball and OS 4.6 maybe 5.0 by launch. Anyway Boy Genius has confirmed that T-Mobile USA will in fact be launching the 8520 in Q4 of this year. They also said they wouldn’t be surprised if the 8520 was sold as a “BlackBerry In A Box” solution. Either way the hot new part of the Curve family will see T-Mobile soon enough.

My only question: Why is it everytime this device gets reviewed they get two of them?

Interesting enough in this announcement they didn’t make any comments to a newly re-designed trackball? Originally it was said that the Curve 8900 would launch with an Atomic trackball. I wonder if thats still a go? Read More
