RIM BlackBerry Curve 8910 Announced for China Mobile
From the image below, we’d suggest to our readers that options on phones are like options on cars: there’s plenty, and different regions get different options. The reason we’re saying that? Because while the BlackBerry Curve 8910 may not be the most talked about BlackBerry out there, it’s certainly one that’s shown up in other places around the world. Including here. Oddly enough, though, it doesn’t have a trackball here. It’s got that optical trackpad that’s become so famous. But, when China Mobile announced the handset’s forthcoming launch, sure enough, you get the more traditional, if not completely “old-school” trackball, right there, in plain sight.
Sure, this could be some old marketing being used, and the actual device that launches may indeed have the optical trackpad, but we’ll go ahead and say it: we doubt it. Specifications wise, the 8910 launching for CM is looking very similar to the original Curve 8900. It will run BlackBerry OS 5, has a 3.2MP camera on the back, but there’s no WiFi. Additionally, it apparently features something called Evolved-EDGE, which is apparently designed to squeeze as much speed as technologically possible from a 2G connection.
We’re not saying that this is the device you should run to China to grab up, but at least it’s not absolutely terrible, either. Then again, we don’t imagine that this is going to fly off the shelves. There’s no word on pricing or availability it seems, but we’re sure that that will come sooner than later.
