Trackball-less emailer on the shelves and ready to go
Vodafone has announced it will be stocking the new BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM's entry level QWERTY emailer.
Vodafone is offering it at £25 a month with a free handset on a 24-month deal, or you can boost that up to £35 a month and only be locked in for 18 months.
It joins the much-maligned BlackBerry Storm 9500 in the company's BB portfolio, and offers a 2MP camera with no trackball, instead bringing an optical trackpad.
Rubberised
As we showed you in our recent hands on with the Curve 8520, the phone is a little thinner than other offerings from RIM, with no 3G on board and dedicated rubberised keys as well.
However, if you're a little put off by the Vodafone pricing, the good news is it will be available on other networks shortly, although we haven't got definite word on cost as yet.
In the meantime, why not amuse yourself by parsing through our delightful hands on gallery? It's like holding it in your hand. But not really.
