BlackBerry Curve 8900: Specs Now, T-Mobile Launch on February 11

Our friends at T-Mo news just hit me up saying they'd gone live with official specs and launch info regarding the T-Mobile version of RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8900.  And they weren't lying.

February 11 is the date - that's a week earlier than previously reported.  On the one hand, sorry for the bad info before.  On the other hand, a week early is kinda nice, no?

 

I've got two big questions about the specs listed on this screenshot.  1) What in tarnation is "High Speed Internet"?  Is that code for T-Mo's crappy new "Web2Go" WAP service?  Did T-Mo somehow convince RIM to put AWS-style 3G into their 8900?  Or is that a reference to on-board WiFi, and not lame old EDGE?  And, 2) There's no mention of HotSpot@Home.  Where's the UMA love?

I have had a Blackberry Storm, and I returned it for the Curve 8330. It's an astronomically better device. Texting (which is all I really want a phone for, besides a good camera) is great. This new curve combines every aspect of what I'd want in a phone. 3G and Wifi, a 3.2 mp camera, and a full qwerty keyboard. This phone NEEDS to come to Verizon. I'm tired of waiting for the good stuff to come months after everyone else. Verizon just needs to drop their CDMA addiction, and join the party.
