So if RIM releases a version of this phone with 3G six months later, then would you buy that? I mean seriously, just because *this* phone is only sporting EDGE doesn't mean RIM is not planning to put HSDPA phones into their Curve and Pearl stables, but they have not even released their first one to market. The original Pearl was 10 months after the 8700 (RIM's first EDGE product) was launched.
This product just looks like an updated Curve with (finally!) all the features that people wanted in the first Gen. It may sell to people that were desperately holding on to their 7200's but don't want to pay the additional cost of HSDPA - it's not like it will be the last BB ever made :P
“While it's not exactly punching it out with the heavyweights in multi-room audio, the Mint Studio does certainly hold its own with many similarly-priced iPod docks out there.”
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
if this replaces the curve, and it does in fact not come with 3g, my curve will be the last blackberry i ever buy.
