BlackBerry Curve: $199 From AT&T

May 20 2009, 12:05pm CDT | by Robert Evans

We've got good news for AT&T customers. The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is going to be coming to your carrier even faster than we'd expected. The Curve is being released online and in retail outlets across the country this Friday.

AT&T customers can expect to shell out $199 for their new Curve. Unfortunately AT&T is not offering 3G connectivity for the 8900, but at least they're offering the phone for a very reasonable price. Honestly, I expect most of AT&T's Curve sales to be corporate. BlackBerries are popular corporate phones, and most of the private smartphone market tends to want 3G connectivity with their phones these days.

Of course, if you don't want to shell out the extra money for a 3G data plan but still want the functionality of a smartphone, this is also a great deal. $199 is a good price for a solid gadget like the Curve.
