Gizmodo got their hands on an AT&T branded BlackBerry Curve 8900. It looks like AT&T will have a big seller on it’s hands…

RIM excels at many things, but keeping secrets ain’t one of ‘em, so we’d eyeballed the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (nee Javelin) quite a bit before this AT&T-branded one dropped in our laps. It’s a Bolder version of the current Curve that improves it in basically every way: Lighter, tighter, but more powerful-and it feels like a phone that was produced in 2008, not when you were still keeping your 2006 resolutions.

Like a lot of BlackBerry users, I can’t wait until the BlackBerry Storm comes out, however, I know that a lot of Verizon subscribers want a new device but would prefer one with a physical keyboard.

I wonder how long it will take Verizon to get the BlackBerry Curve 8930?

The fact that the color is separate from the name leads me to believe that the their will be more Sandstone BlackBerry Pearls to come.

Normally, a wireless company advertising a BlackBerry that they are going to carry isn’t a big deal. Rogers, on the other hand, advertising the BlackBerry Pearl 8220, formerly known as the BlackBerry KickStart, isn’t exactly par for course as I can’t recall a time when a wireless carrier started to advertise a BlackBerry before RIM officially announces it.

Rumor has it that even though you are seeing Rogers BlackBerry Pearl 8220 advertising now, the device won’t be available until October 4th. I think it is probably safe to assume that RIM will announce it between now and then.

Rumors about a burnt orange BlackBerry Curve from T-Mobile called the BlackBerry Curve Sunset have been floating around for some time now. It was initially believed that the BlackBerry Curve Sunset was supposed to be released today, July 28th, however, some conflicting reports have the device coming out in a week on August 4th.

I’ve heard that some T-Mobile store employees have stated that they have the BlackBerry Curve Sunset is in stock in the stores but I have to wonder why the device wouldn’t be available at the start of business is it is indeed going to be available for sale today.

One thing we know for sure is that time will definitely tell.

If you are a fan of Verizon’s network you can get yourself a BlackBerry Curve 8330 from Wirefly with a new Verizon Wireless account. The nice thing about this deal is that the rebate is instant. You don’t have to mail anything in. All you have to do is sign a 2 year minimum contract and your good to go.

LetsTalk.com is offering a similar deal on the BlackBerry Curve 8310 on AT&T, however, you do have shell out $75 up front and wait to receive $75 rebate in the mail.

Lehman Brothers analyst Jeff Kvaal says that strong sales from Verizon and expected strong sales from AT&T should drive strong sales in the second half of the year. Kvaal has raised is his fiscal 2009 EPS estimate from $3.61 to $3.85.
