BlackBerry Curve 8900 caught on the lam in some T-Mobile store

The good news: odds are decent your local T-Mobile store has a Curve 8900 locked away somewhere. The bad news: you can't have it. Word on the street is that T-Mob staff are under strict orders to keep the 8900 out of shopping bags until February 11, the last rumored launch date we'd heard, so keep saving your pennies... to, you know, bribe a store this week.

The phone has a QWERTZ keyboard. and there is no T-Mobile branding. They are in a T-Mobile store. For all we know, in Germany, where QWERTZ keyboards are prevalent as is T-Mobile/Deutche Telecom.

Uh... fired? Arrested? Bitch-slapped? Verbally abused? Looked at very sternly?

I got it, they'll delete all service books on that employee's Blackberry. Ouch!

If you'll read on the BGR, that specific one is a T-Mobile Germany Curve. Notice the QWERTZ keyboard and the differing T-Mobile logo (there are two dots flanking the T in T-Mobile Germany's logo instead of one and three in T-Mobile USA's).
