14 DAY TRIAL // Canadian wireless carrier Rogers is reportedly getting ready to launch in the country two new mobile phones coming from Research in Motion, namely the BlackBerry Curve 8520 and BlackBerry Bold 9700, as both handsets have been spotted in its upgrade system. Moreover, a series of photos with Rogers' Curve 8520 also emerged for your viewing pleasure.
According to BGR, which brought the news on the two mobile phones, the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is expected to be launched on Rogers' airwaves in early October, while the BlackBerry Bold 9700 should follow a few weeks later, but be out in October as well. On the other hand, the release dates are not official yet, and things might change when the announcement is made.
One of the new devices from RIM, the BlackBerry Curve 8520, can also be admired in some leaked photos that show it on its way to the Canadian carrier's lineup. The phone appears to run under BlackBerry OS 4.6.1.274, and BGR notes that the carrier doesn't seem to have put its brand markings on the Curve 8520's case. At least, these photos show the device this way, yet the variant that will reach Canada is very likely to bear Roger's logo all over it.
The BlackBerry Curve 8520, as many of you might already know, was launched a while ago, and is now available on a series of markets around the world. As for the BlackBerry Bold 9700, it still has to come to the market, yet we had the chance to spot a leaked official photo of the device not too long ago, while also hearing rumors that it would soon come to T-Mobile in the US.
Unfortunately, it seems that there are no details on the pricing of the Curve 8520, and Bold 9700 will come to Rogers. Even so, we might soon learn that the former will sport a heavily subsidized cost, while the latter might be priced similarly with the Bold 9000. Watch this space to learn more details on the phones' availability as soon as they emerge.
