Research in Motion along with MTN bring the BlackBerry to Cypruss.

All over the world, BlackBerry smartphones are enhancing the way people communicate and interact with information. Being away from the office or separated from your PC no longer means you are out of touch, because the BlackBerry smartphone empowers you with real-time connectivity ” said Bassel Jamaleddine, CEO of MTN. “People have become used to MTN leading the market by introducing the best solutions to our customers, and all of us at MTN are very excited and proud to be launching the BlackBerry solution here today.

What I find kind of interesting is that MTN will initially only offer the BlackBerry Curve and the BlackBerry Pearl. Does the lack of BlackBerry 8800 support paint a broader picture of that device’s future? That’s probably a topic for another post.

BGR is reporting that BlackBerry maker, Research in Motion, and AT&T are holding a New York City launch party for the BlackBerry Curve on June 8th which, if BG’s sources or correct, may be a couple of weeks after AT&T actually releases the BlackBerry Curve.

AT&T is really trying to get the BlackBerry Curve out the door this month. Nothing is set in stone, but I think we can all agree that it is in everyone’s best interest to get this out sooner than later.

BG says in the comments that all signs are pointing to a Friday release.

Update 2:  The Verizon BlackBerry Curve Ships Friday, May 9th.

Update: The Verizon BlackBerry Curve Has Been Officially Announced!

Now that Verizon has officially announced that the BlackBerry 8830 will be available just a few months after the release of the BlackBerry 8800 on Cingular, we know that they can get things done without taking the better part of a year. The BlackBerry 8830, however, is a business device and business BlackBerry users live in Verizon’s wheel house.

The big question for me is how long will it take for Verizon to release the BlackBerry Curve? Might the Verizon CDMA BlackBerry Curve follow just a few months behind the GSM version or will the company with the nation’s best network revert back to their usual year long lag behind?
