AT&T BlackBery Curve 8900

AT&T’s latest inventory snapshot shows yet another BlackBerry coming our way from the mobile carrier – the Curve 8900. This device will arrive for $199.99, accompanied by a 2-year contract and after $100 mail-in rebate. Sounds like a pretty decent deal if you ask us, and to those who have already paid a premium for the 8900 when it first came out will probably kick themselves for being early adopters. Interestingly enough, The Curve page on RIM’s website has already listed AT&T under the ‘Where to buy’ page, so you can bet your bottom dollar that it is coming soon – real soon.

RIM: RIM is the acronym for Research In Motion, the Canadian company behind the BlackBerry brand. RIM was founded in the mid 90s by Mike Lazaridis and with Jim Balsillie and went IPO (Initial Public Offering) in 1998. Its claim to fame was to make mobile email really effective and enterprises quickly adopted its devices and associated software and services which were highly lucrative. With the rise of iOS and Android devices, the BlackBerry franchise bumped into trouble and its decline prompted RIM to take a radical step by overhauling its BlackBerry operating system (OS) completely with QNX. The first version of the QNX BlackBerry OS is BlackBerry 10 or BB10.
