T-Mobile officially announces new BlackBerry colors for the summer

General

bb9700-white

T-Mobile just officially announced what we’ve all heard for a pretty long while — they’re going to be adding some summer colors to their BlackBerry lineup starting today. First up is the BlackBerry Curve 8520 in Fuchsia Red. It hits T-Mobile’s retail stores and online today and will retail for $49.99 with a two year service agreement. In terms of the big boy toys, T-Mobile is rolling that luxurious-looking BlackBerry Bold 9700 in “Flash White”. That device will start to become available on May 26th for the same price as the current 9700, $129.99 with a two year agreement. Lastly, T-Mobile’s BlackBerry 9700 OS upgrade that just became available will be pre-loaded on the new Casper Bolds out of the box. We’re not complaining.

    Yo dawgzz I thought T-mobile was for the black man? This is just racist marketing, ya mean. I be switching back to Sprint yo.

      LOL @ rodneyking, that is hilarious!!

  • big papi

    I have the white 9000 Bold and its such a slick looking device!

    There was a time when I waited with baited breath to hear about new RIM or Blackberry news. Sorry but a color palette change on their current line up is not what I consider newsworthy. Unfortunately, I think RIM is going the way of Palm if they’re not careful. Where’s the innovation? Where’s the excitement? It seems like they’re playing catch up with today’s technology and platforms. Blackberry 6? Really? *sigh*

      Completely agree. And not lack of innovation, but poor quality controls. Let’s all take a look at the Tour with massive trackball defects. I think RIM is sliding downhill pretty quickly at this point. I guess if they can’t make a phone that works, they can at least make them in different colors.

    • Bob

      Just exactly, where are they really catching up?

      • RobGom

        They’re gonna get an OS that does this really cool “swishy” “swoopy” thing.

  • Phillip Marshall

    LOL rodneyking was funny…White bb’s are a slick phone i agree…

  • TRENT

    I want a Blackberry but can not use becuase the keys are too small. I got big sexy hands and it just doesn’t work well for me. I guess I will have to get the HTC HD or Evo!

    • Laz

      My thumb covers three keys on my Tour and I do just fine when sending messages…

  • Bunifa@SprintPOS

    Is there a word missing in the last sentence?

    I wonder if T-Mobile has an exclusive on this white berry

  • FML

    I kinda wanted a 1ghz android phone but now that they came out with a new color BB I don’t even care! Just give me a white bb, that’s totally what I need to keep me from going to Verizon!

    • Joe

      lol

  • George

    Is it just me or does that black trackpad stick out like a sore thumb?

    • Jesus

      It compliments it, kinda like that lil black kid that follows Dora the Explorer around. Boots?

      • Me

        So you are equating a MONKEY with a black person or black people?

        You need to clarify.

        And sorry for bringing race into this, I am simply responding to what was posted.
