BlackBerry Curve 8520 Hits Amazon For $0.01; Headed to France via Bouygues Telecom; Curve Sells Most Smartphones in Q2, Beats iPhone 3GS

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 has been available since yesterday for $129 USD on a 2-year contract and Wal-Mart is selling it for $48.88 on a 2-year contract - last time I checked. But, if you want a real deal, you should probably head over to Amazon. They are selling the BlackBerry Curve 8520 for $0.01 on a 2-year contract. Yeah, no typos there. Here's the link. It could be out-of-stock, by the way.

So, the latest word on the street is that the Curve 8520 will be hitting France, courtesy of Bouygues Telecom. It will be available "within the next month" but the price and exact date hasn't been mentioned yet.

Since we're talking about the BlackBerry Curve, I guess we should talk about the top selling smartphones of 2009 in Q2 of this year. The BlackBerry Curve sold enough to clinch the top spot, beating the likes of the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 3G. The full list is below.
