BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 Announced For T-Mobile, Big Brother to The Curve 8520


T-Mobile hasn’t had any new BlackBerry devices in a long time, but now they have finally decided to add some. T-Mobile has confirmed that they will be adding the new BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 to their line. The BlackBerry Curve 9300 is like the big brother to the older Blackberry Curve 8520. The 9300 adds a lot of new features that the 8520 didn’t have, but the design remains mostly the same. The BlackBerry Curve 9300 features HSPDA 3G connectivity on T-Mobile, which the 8520 did not have. It also adds GPS support and upgrades from 802.11g wireless to 802.11n. The BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 comes with BlackBerry OS 5 if you purchase it when it comes out, but it will later be upgradeable to BlackBerry OS 6. Other than that the 9300 has pretty much the same features as the 8520 including an optical trackpad, a 2.46 inch display with a resolution of 240x320, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD card slot for upgrading your memory beyond the built in 256 MB, Bluetooth 2.1, a 2 megapixel camera, and an 1150 mAh battery. GSMArena also says that it is 2 grams heavier. Anyways, they are pretty much the same. The BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 has already hit the Canadian market, but it will be available both at T-Mobile stores and online in the next couple of weeks. The upgrade to BlackBerry OS 6 will be available in the coming months.
