It’s official: the BlackBerry Curve from Research In Motion Ltd., is available at AT&T Mobility beginning tomorrow. Price is $200, with two-year contract and mail-in rebate. The quad-band device rides on AT&T Mobility’s EDGE network.
Any doubts that RIM-known for its productivity-oriented, e-mail slabs-has gotten the fashion message is dispelled by today’s joint press release, which describes the device as “fashioned in liquid silver finish with chrome highlights, smooth edges and soft curves.”
Soft curves? That’s a pretty good entry in the “e-mail is sexy” marketing sweepstakes. (Talk about hot: an e-mail spell-checker is now included.)
Have no fear, the release offers two-and-a-half pages of features as well. In general, RIM and AT&T Mobility tout the device as the smallest and lightest full QWERTY BlackBerry. The device offers multimedia and messaging capabilities, a 2 megapixel camera and a slew of voice enhancements (noise-cancellation, speaker-independent voice recognition for voice-activated dialing). In-box accessories include a stereo headset, travel charger and USB cable.
