The rumor mill on the yet to be released BlackBerry 8520 Curve has begun. The device is set as a low cost BlackBerry entry device so I cannot imagine it will retail for more than $150 after contract. The BoyGenius seems to have gotten some insider info that the 8520 will be dropping on T-Mobile USA in Q4 which is not to far from now.
Just as a reminder the 8520 Curve is an upcoming device with a new touchpad control instead of the trackball we have all gotten used to. It also ups the memory to 256Mb which is a nice change.
Kevin did a great write-up of all the specifications at this link if you are interested in more details. I am just excited that DivX support is coming back but the 2MP camera is disappointing especially without a basic flash.

We’ve got used to the trackball? I don’t think so. Mine’s a piece of junk.
I’m not fond of the missing camera flash and a few other things, but I may upgrade to the 8520 just to get the touchpad. I’m not sure if I can do without 3G.
