From a long time we are hearing about this, after a long wait finally, RIM has finally decided to take the covers off the BlackBerry 8250 Curve -albeit online, where it now gets its own landing page.

New BlackBerry phone, too famous in rumors, has also been seen in the wild a few months ago. Since that time, this one (then known as the Gemini) would be "Curve" branded and would most definitely be sporting a 2 MP camera. As it turns out, the Curve 8520 comes with a run-of-the mill 2 MP camera and as evident, is Curve branded. Moreover, the phone comes with a WiFi, video recording, and a largish 1,150mAh battery rated for 4.5 hours of talk time.

The phone has a 2.6-inch QVGA display affair is scaled down from that of the Curve 8900. The 3G lacks and one needs to do with only WiFi and EDGE for Internet on the move. And it also includes trackpad instead of the standard BlackBerry trackball.

The device is claimed to be Mac Ready. This is obviously owing to the recent announcement by BlackBerry to bring the BlackBerry Desktop software support to Macs. Expect the 8520 to hit the North American landmass in about a month. We have no inkling about an India specific launch. The price of BlackBerry must be affordable in India.
