It looks like T-mobile will finally release the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (Javelin) for the United States on February 18, 2009. Both TmoNews and Boy Genius Report have hopped on verifying this date.

I can’t wait! This phone has everything I need which is everything except 3G. And since T-mobile doesn’t service 3G in our area, no need to have a phone with 3G capability.

This is the one smartphone that would make me put down the Pearl.
