BlackBerry 8300 = BlackBerry Curve?
Well, low and behold, in the long wait for more and more information to trickle in about the BlackBerry 8300, it appears that we have a formal name for the device’s release. In spirit of the BlackBerry 8100 having a consumer-friendly alias with the BlackBerry Pearl, the BlackBerry 8300, which is set to merge the business and consumer worlds of BlackBerry, is apparently named the BlackBerry Curve.
www.BlackBerry8300.com, which was recently purchased by RIM from private holdings, now redirects to www.BlackBerryCurve.com, although it’s nothing more than a blank placeholder page. The new website’s domain record reflects that of Register.com, Inc., RIM’s domain registrar of choice. The DNS redirect would not be possible without RIM’s authorization, so I think it’s safe to assume this as the new name. I kind of like it. Now, who thinks that RIM will announce the BlackBerry 8300 or BlackBerry Curve at WES 2007? I sure do.
Thanks, MiBlackBerry!
