RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8900 comes to O2 UK in January

Rogers yelled "first!" when it began selling RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8900 in Canada this week, but O2 won't be too far behind in the UK. Apparently hoping that you'll end up with wads of disposable income post-Christmas, the carrier has just made clear that the handset will be available to customers on January 5, 2009. Those not keen on camping out can pre-register for a unit starting on December 10th (December 22nd online), and if it's pounds you're concerned about, you can get it as low as free (or as high as £234) depending on your choice of contract / plan.

This device was in rumor land so long and now it's has finally been released on Rogers.... now this.

I can't believe there is nobody here in the States who can give us a definite release date for T-Mobile USA or even at&t. Are details that tight lipped?

Blog sites usually learn of release dates or rumored release dates months before they hit. This one is really a mystery but a device I definitely want to see on T-Mobile's lineup soon.

GPS, UMA/WiFi.... looking forward to it!
