BlackBerry 8900 on AT&T

T-Mobile announced last week that they were to launch the BlackBerry Curve 8900 in February; it now looks as though AT&T want to get some of the 8900 action as well. This is the first high-profile Blackberry release for 2009, and looks set to become a popular one with two big U.S. carriers backing the handset.

The Boy Genius Report has said that Research In Motion was showing an AT&T branded Curve 8900 in its booth at 2009 CES, this stopped those rumors in their tracks that T-Mobile was to be the only carrier with the new RIM handset.
