Fido may have the Nexus S handy but if you're looking for the latest BlackBerry on the carrier then they have just release one. The BlackBerry Curve 9300 is now available on the carrier for $30 on a 3-year contract or $400 contract-free. This one sports a 2.4-inch display, a QWERTY keyboard, a 2MP camera, WiFi support, and, thankfully, OS 6.0. Check it out on Fido.

Fido looks like they're almost ready to release the BlackBerry Curve 9300 in Canada. Some dummy devices are already available on location but it's still not available since they're waiting for their Curve 8520 stock to disappear. This one will be available for $29.99 on a 3-year contract if you're interested and you can check it out on Future Shop.

It looks like Koodo Mobile has just released their latest smartphone and it's the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300). This handset features a 2MP camera, Bluetooth / WiFi support, a microSD card slot, and sports OS 6.0 on board which is different from the other carriers which have them with OS 5.0. That's actually pretty great news. This one's available on Koodo right now for $300 contract-free or for $150 on the Tab.

In Canada, MTS should be releasing a new smartphone soon and it'll be the BlackBerry Curve 9300. The most interesting thing about this one is that it'll launch with OS 6.0 on March 31st. The big 3 in Canada already have this smartphone but it launched with OS 5.0 which is RIM's outdated OS. That's good news for MTS! Check it out on MTS.

Koodo Mobile has just announced one piece of information that you might need if you're looking for a budget Android phone. The LG Optimus One will be hitting the Canadian carrier this Wednesday, March 2nd. This one should be available for around $200 contract-free so it could be right around $50 on the Tab. The Optimus One features a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, a 600MHz CPU, a 3MP camera, WiFi / Bluetooth support, a microSD card slot, and Android 2.2 with a custom UI.

An internal screenshot (below) shows that Koodo plans to launch a new BlackBerry, we just don't know when. It's going to be the Curve 9300 which have been available on the Big 3 for a couple of months now. Price is unknown for this one and I won't bother guessing.

Coming from HoFo is word that Fido has two more handsets up their sleeve. The first one is above and that's the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300) and the other one is the Sony Ericsson J108 "Cedar". This news is unconfirmed right now. If it's true then prices and release dates are still unknown right now so that's the oh-so-important information that we're waiting around for.

Another carrier in Canada has released the BlackBerry Curve (9300) 3G. This time it's Videotron and it's available for $49.95 on their "Reduced Plan" and the retail price or contract-free offering is $349.95. In case you forgot, this smartphone features a QWERTY keyboard, a 2.4-inch display, an optical trackpad, WiFi / Bluetooth 2.1 / GPS support, a 2MP camera, and OS 5.0 (with an upgrade to 6.0 sometime in the future). Check it out on Videotron.

In Canada, WIND Mobile is now offering another smartphone if you're interested. They have just released the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300) and it's available for $290 contract-free. This features a 2.4-inch display, an optical trackpad, WiFi / Bluetooth 2.1 support, GPS, a 2MP camera, a microSD card slot, and BB OS 5.0 (upgradeable to OS 6.0). Check it out here on WIND.

Coming from WIND Mobile's own site is OS 5.0.0.977 for the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300), which they currently don't offer. Obviously, this is a tip that they will be launching it sometime in the future. The Curve 3G is definitely a great addition to their line-up since the only BB they do offer is the Bold 9700 and consumers want something a bit cheaper. Look out for it soon.

Update: Boy Genius has basically confirmed that WIND Mobile will be getting the Curve 3G (9300) by the leaked inventory screenshot below. As you can see in the picture below there'll be two models so we'll likely be seeing two different colours that the carrier will offer.

As expected, AT&T in the US has just released two smartphones from RIM, the Pearl 3G (9100) and the Curve 3G (9300). I really wasn't expecting AT&T to release these two smartphones at the same time since they officially said that the Pearl 3G would be available on October 17th (which is correct) and they said that the Curve 3G would be available "this holiday season". It sounded like AT&T meant a November release for the Curve 3G or something like that.

Anyways, getting back of track, they're both available right now. The Pearl 3G is going for $149.99 on a 2-year contract (here) and the Curve 3G is going for $99.99 on a 2-year contract (here), both of these prices are after rebates kick in. Both of them are running OS 5.0 but they'll be getting an upgrade to OS 6.0 sometime in the future.

3 UK has just released two new smartphones from RIM, the BlackBerry Torch and the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300). The Torch is available right now for £249 on a 2-year £30 monthly contract which is quite expensive. Check that out here if you're interested. The Curve 3G, on the other hand, is available for £149 on a 2-year £25 monthly contract or for £249 upfront and for £20 monthly (here). This smartphone is also 3 UK's first PAYG BlackBerry if you're willing to get it for £209.99. If that's the case then get one on 3 UK here.

AT&T should be launching the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300) and the Pearl 3G (9100) soon and it looks it won't be here as soon as we thought it would be. AT&T will be releasing the Pearl 3G on October 17th for $149.99 on a 2-year contract while the Curve 3G will be available for the holiday season for $99.99 on a 2-year contract. Of course, both smartphones will be running OS 5.0 when they launch but the Curve 3G will be upgradeable to OS 6.0 whenever RIM is ready.

The BlackBerry Pearl 3G (9100) still hasn't hit one of the four major carriers in the US but it looks like one of them could be getting two smartphones from RIM in the next two weeks or so. The rumour states that both the Pearl 3G along with the Curve 3G (9300) should be hitting AT&T on October 3rd.

Engadget got the scoop on this information and they also mention that the Pantech Laser will be available on the same day.

As expected, the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300) is now available on SaskTel in Canada. This smartphone has been available on other carriers for a while now but it's good to see that RIM has launched this smartphone on more carriers. The Curve 3G packs a 2.4-inch display, a QWERTY keyboard, a 2MP camera, WiFi / GPS support, a microSD card slot, and OS 5.0 (OS 6.0 upgrade in the future). check it out at Jump where you can get one for $50 on a 3-year contract and $375 contract-free.

Nope, it's not another Android smartphone that's headed to Verizon on September 16th. Instead, in two days time, the carrier will be releasing the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9330) for $29.99 on a 2-year contract. Simply put, this is the CDMA variant of the Curve 3G (9300) that is already available on T-Mobile. Pre-installed will be BB OS 5.0 but there'll be an upgrade to OS 6.0 sometime in the future. It'll be available in silver and fuchsia when it launches.

Canada's SaskTel has just announced the prices for their upcoming BlackBerry Curve 9300 smartphone. It'll be available on a still unspecified date for $50 on a 3-year contract, $225 on a 2-year contract, $325 on a 1-year contract, and $375 contract-free if you're willing to get a voice and data plan. The Curve 9300 packs a 2.4-inch display, a QWERTY keyboard, a 2MP camera, WiFi / GPS support, a microSD card slot, and OS 5.0 (OS 6.0 update in the future). It's still listed as "Coming Soon" but you can check it out on SaskTel anyway.

This was expected, but it was pretty bad timing. The Fascinate hit Verizon this morning on a BOGO deal and now T-Mobile has decided to release the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300). This smartphone is running OS 5.0 out of the box but it should get an upgrade to OS 6.0. Pick one up right now for $79.99 on a 2-year contract. Of course, if you're a BB fan you'll still go out and get one of these. Check it out on T-Mobile.

[CrackBerry]

The CDMA version of the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300) is on its way to Verizon in the near future. The Curve 3G (9330) should be hitting the carrier sometime before October 31st since that's when this rebate sheet ends. The 9330 will be available in Charcoal Gray and Fuchsia - the final price is still unknown. This smartphone should be hitting Sprint in the near future as well.

3 UK has relased a new smartphone and it's the BlackBerry Curve 3G (9300). Of course, it's free on a 2-year contract where you'll have to pay at least £25 monthly.
