curve-8900T-Mobile has sent out an internal memo to employees informing them that the long-awaited BlackBerry Curve 8900 smart device will be launched ahead of its scheduled launch on February 11th, now on January 19th for business customers only.  This follows up on the leaked consumer release date for the device and lends credence to the fact that T-Mobile is pushing to court international business travelers.  

The device is intended to be a variant of the Bold without 3G access and features a landscape HVGA (480×320) display, quadband GSM/EDGE 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, speakerphone, microSDHC expansion slot, media player,  Wi-Fi with UMA support for HotSpot @ Home, Bluetooth with stereo audio support, and GPS support via built-in transceiver.
