T-Mobile launches BlackBerry 8120

General

Right on schedule, T-Mobile has gone ahead and made the BlackBerry 8120 available to the general public. This model is the second ‘Berry compatible with T-Mo’s Hotspot@Home UMA calling service, joining the stable alongside the BlackBerry Curve 8320. Nothing crazy to report on the feature side, with the 8120 sporting Wi-Fi, a 2 megapixel camera, externally accessible microSD slot, and an "improved" SureType keypad. That said, it is the newest BlackBerry currently available in the States, so if cutting edge technology is your thing, you might want to hit the local T-Mobile store and swoop one up. Expect to pay $150 with a two-year agreement.

UPDATE: As a couple of you have pointed out, this is in fact T-Mobile’s 3rd Hotspot@Home device, not its 2nd as noted in the post. Thanks for the heads up!

    Wow. I can’t believe it

    That should be third ‘Berry compatible with T-Mo’s Hotspot@Home UMA calling service. The UMA compatible 8320 and 8820 came out first.

  • Anton Wahlman

    Wrong. It’s the 3rd one. The 8830 became available on March 24, 2008, and the 8320 on September 24, 2007.

  • Steven Jesse!

    Finally! Any word on when these awesome phones come out in better colors? Like Black! I guess they are making the gray models available first since no one would pick this color if they had a choice, right?

    This has vga video rec (30bps) and bluetooth music right?

  • Bryan Grant
