BlackBerry 8900 available from AT&T online now, offline tomorrow

Well, for all you AT&T BlackBerry fans, you can finally get your hands on the newest regular BlackBerry model, the Curve 8900. The phone is available from AT&T online online today (a day early), and will be available in stores starting tomorrow. I’m honestly a bit surprised to see that it was released so soon after a very ambiguous intial “early summer” release date. This is a great addition to AT&T’s BlackBerry line and finally gives them the versatility of models to compete with the likes of T-Mobile. The phone (online or in stores)  retails for $199.99 after a $100 mail in rebate, even for such a great addition, it’s still a pretty stiff price to pay up front. I still wish they had managed to squeeze in 3G support somewhere, even if it meant taking out something like GPS.
