Blackberry Curve 8900 with Stereo Bluetooth

Blackberry has released the Blackberry Curve 8900 on the T-Mobile network.  The Curve 8900 is the newest member of the Curve family and has a number of upgrades.  In fact, many reviewers felt that its functions were very similar to the higher end Bold.

Made for both business and entertainment, the 8900 includes a full qwerty keyboard plus stereo bluetooth.    The screen is vibrant and big enough for business use though not comparable with the size of the Storm.  Overall this should be a great follow up to the previous Curve units and another success for Blackberry.
