BlackBerry Curve 8900 now in T-Mobile stores across the UK

If you're too cool for the Bold (and by "too cool" we mean "don't care about 3G"), you've probably been dreaming of the day the luscious-looking Curve 8900 would grace your hood -- and for Brits, it seems that day has come. T-Mobile UK has handily beat O2's UK network to become the first carrier in the land to offer the spiritual successor to the 8300 series, and we're hearing that most T-Mobile stores have already been shipped units. So get it from the store or get it online, but either way, you'll be able to get it for a big fat nothing on a £31.50 (about $47) plan for 18 months.

Not strictly true - O2 & Orange managed to beat T-Mobile (despite T-Mobile having it "first"). See http://www.mobilecomputermag.co.uk/200812121138/hands-on-with-the-rim-blackberry-curve-8900.html for more info.

I almost squirted, I thought it said T-Mobile USA was gonna get it...LOL.

If this comes around in March when my contract is up, I'll buy it!

Derek, you're gross! Who uses squirted these days? There are much more terms that can be used in place of that!

Anyway, Can't wait for this phone to hit the US!
