RIM (Research in Motion) has (finally) launched the much-delayed Blackberry Curve 8900 in Canada. The phone that was out for corporate customers a few days earlier made its commercial debut on Tuesday.
The phone, sans 3G, happens to be the thinnest full-QWERTY BlackBerry smartphone to date. The phone will be available for users on the Rogers network in Canada. There is no word yet on its release elsewhere, but its worldwide launch is expected soon.
Feature wise, the phone has everything you d want from a Blackberry. The device, which happens to be smaller than the Blackberry Bold, carries over the same screen albeit smaller in size. However, the resolution remains the same resulting in a crisper display.
The phone also sports a 3.2 mp camera for executives who would love to snap a picture or two. Although it misses 3G, there is some saving grace in the form of WiFi support. The 1400 mAh battery provides approximately 5.5 hours of talk time and 15 days of standby time.
The phone would be a good replacement for the fast ageing Curve lineup here in India. With adoption of 3G still some months away, the EDGE-enabled 8900 does make sense especially with the device expected to be cheaper than its elder sibling the Bold.
