The T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8520 is now available online and in the T-Mobile Store for $129.99 on a 2-year contract. The Curve 8520 comes in two colors, Frost, seen here in this image, and Black.
If the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is a device that you may be interested in getting, I seriously recommend that you head to Wal-Mart where the device is only $48.88.

Wal-Mart is pretty well known for making their own rules up in the retail world and it would appear that Aug. 2nd equals Aug. 5th when it comes to the T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8520 and you have them in stock.
According to Engadget, some dude named Alex was able to pick up a brand new $48.88 T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8520 a few days early and he’s posted a video of its unboxing on YouTube.

Something is telling me the the BlackBerry Curve 8520, expected to be available this Wednesday, Aug 5th, will sell pretty well. Now, I will qualify this by saying the it will sell pretty well by T-Mobile standards, however, with a sub $50 price tag at Wal-Mart, this device should do well with tweens that want to get a cool phone, but, their parent’s won’t shell out the cash for an iPhone.

I was just reading on Venture Beat that Wal-Mart will sell the T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8520, which goes on sale Aug. 5th, for $48.88. This is compared to $129.99 at T-Mobile. This got me to thinking, does T-Mobile actually expect consumers to buy these devices directly from them?
I am sure that by the time Aug. 5th comes around, it will be pretty well known to people looking to get an inexpensive BlackBerry that Wal-Mart has the best deal in town. If you happen to be willing to pay over $80 more to get the Curve 8520 from T-Mobile, why not make it a cool $100 and get a Curve 8900, which, for $20 more, is a much better device.
Granted, you may not get the optical trackpad and may have to way a few hours until someone leaks BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac online to get your Mac compatibility, but, the 3.2 megapixel camera compared to 2.0 megapixels, the camera flash, and GPS, among other things make that additional $20 well worth it.
