We have seen leaked photos of the BlackBerry Curve 9300 over the past month or so but nothing has been made official from RIM yet about the first 3G Curve. A very reliable source has been in touch with us to let us know that an expected announcement will be made around the 8th/9th of August. Not long to wait but I think this one will be slightly over shadowed by the 9800 Slider.
Price wise, I am led to believe that this Curve will be a fair bit more expensive than the current Curve 8520 that we in the UK can get sim free for under £200 and as little as £148 on PAYG.
It will certainly be interesting to see if the UK carriers can offer the 9300 for as little as £20 per month on a contract like they can currently with the 8520.
BlackBerry Curve 9300 Key features:
- 3G & HSDPA
- GPS
- Wi-Fi® with UMA support
- 624 Mhz processor
- 256 MB RAM
- 256 MB Flash
- QVGA Display (320×240)
- 2.0 MP camera without flash
- 1150 mHA battery
- V 5.0 software
- Media keys
The Curve 9300 will still be a budget BlackBerry compared to many of its brothers but will it have a budget price to match? And with BlackBerry 6 just around the corner will the 9300 be as successful as the 8520 has been? We will have to wait and see.
