BlackBerry Curve 8520 Hits AT&T

AT&T customers look out, another BlackBerry is making its way to your carrier just in time for the holidays. The Curve 8520 has just been confirmed in an AT&T press release. It will be available soon for $99.99 after a $100 mail in rebate. As a warning, the rebate comes in the form of a $100 AT&T promotion card.

The Curve 8520 packs a 512 MHz processor, 256 MB of flash memory, and a 2 MP camera, making it a low-to-midrange smartphone. This RIM device hasn't blown any socks off, but it'll get the job done for a comparatively low price. If you're a businessman looking for a good professional smartphone that won't cost you much, the 8520 is a solid buy. If you're anyone else, the iPhone 3G costs just as much and offers far more.
