RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 O2 Release Date and Specs

Rogers in Canada got the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8900 this week and today we hear that O2 in the UK will be getting the Smartphone on January 5, 2009. Not bad for the UK to get a release date that soon after, you can see the specs below this post.

You got two choices if you’re after the thinnest full QWERTY BlackBerry Smartphone, you can camp outside a store real early to guarantee your purchase or use the easy pre-order system that starts on December 10th via O2 stores or December 22nd online.

The contract plans will get you the BlackBerry Curve for free or up to £234 depending on how much you want to pay monthly for your subscription. See main specs below.
