RIM products tend to have ultra-predictable launch cycles — when Waterloo announces a new BlackBerry, odds are pretty great that your carrier’s going to pick it up at some point, no matter what carrier that may be. So it goes with the\u00a0Curve 3G<\/a> and\u00a0Pearl 3G<\/a>; neither product is new, of course, but they’re new to AT&T, which has just revealed that it’ll be getting both this year. The Pearl seems like it’ll probably be coming first, launching on October 17 for $149.99 on contract (in its 20-key flavor) with no rebate required; the Curve, meanwhile, slips in on a to-be-determined date “in time for the holidays” for $99.99 on contract, also sans rebate. Though no mention is made of upgradeability on the Pearl, the Curve is called out as being\u00a0BlackBerry 6<\/a>-ready — RIM needs carrier buy-in to deploy these upgrades, so the fact that AT&T is saying it is notable. The Pearl’s price seems way out of whack, but needless to say, we’re sure some of the third-party resellers will be getting ’em out the door for a penny on contract within a few weeks. Follow the break for the press release.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
