We had told you recently about the BlackBerry Curve 8520 going to Vodafone UK (click here for original post). Now, Pocket Lint has gotten some great pictures of this wonderful smartphone, boasting of an optical trackball, non-3G, entry level device.
BlackBerry Curve 8520
The BlackBerry 8520 will also be available with Orange and Carphone Warehouse as well. The latter will offer this cutie in a different shade – violet. Just for your information, the 8520, also hailed as the Gemini, is coming to T-Mobile USA on the 5th of August (most probably). Anyway, enjoy the pictures of the handheld and also click here if you wish to see the entire photogallery.
While the US is getting ready to welcome the HTC Magic lookalike myTouch 3G smartphone, the UK has gone one step ahead and is now going to launch an Android-based version of the HTC Hero, calling it the G2 Touch. The official carrier for this one will be T-Mobile UK.
The G2 Touch is expected to hit the European market in a few weeks from now. British customers can expect the smartphone for online sale tomorrow itself, with the device hitting retail stores very soon, “over the next few days”. Now we are truly jealous of UK residents. Grr….
We at PhoneArea were pleasantly surprised when we learnt that Vodafone UK was launching a non-3G smartphone this year, the BlackBerry 8520. Of course, this is in rumor stage yet, but considering the image below, it looks like Vodafone UK will go the T-Mobile USA way, by promoting RIM’s latest QWERTY device, the BlackBerry 8520.
Further news is that Vodafone UK plans to sell this entry-level device at an “affordable price”. This is set to launch in August, alongside T-Mobile’s own launch. Stay tuned for more on this, folks.
Here’s the full video review of the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, which has been creating waves in the mobile market. This device, which looks very similar to the HTC Magic, is an Android smartphone from HTC. The myTouch 3G includes a 3.2” HVGA touchscreen display, accelerometer, 3.2MP camera with video recording capabilities, integration with Google’s services and much more.
