RIM Curve Arrives for Cingular

[Mod]

Cingular is the US carrier of the GSM RIM product, the Curve, which follows up on RIM’s first effort found with the smartphone Pearl.

RIM’s announcement comes as many vendors gird for the anticipated arrival of Apple Inc.’s iPhone at AT&T, set for next month.

The Curve describes the slight backward arc described by its two-tone casing and, perhaps, is quad-band and works over GSM, GPRS and EDGE networks. According to AT&T, that gives the device the largest BlackBerry domestic and international coverage area of any U.S. carrier—more than 13,000 cities and towns in the United States and 125 countries abroad.

The device will offer speaker-independent voice recognition for dialing, a media player and manager, as well as an HTML browser, trackball navigation, a 2-megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth capabilities and a microSD card for expandable storage.
