Today we have seen some photos and preliminary specs of a new Curve 9300.  The phone we see today is T-Mobile branded and running a 5.0 OS.  Memory on this 9300 is 256MB and the purple bezel is a little different than the chrome we have seen in previous photos.

A few weeks ago we got wind that AT&T would launch the 9800 in June, but seeing that June is almost done, we thought that the newest tip we received on the TIP line should see some light. Our tipster from AT&T says that due to the changing of the branding from Bold to Torch, that the product launch has been delayed (sounds just like the Tour gone Bold scenario) to late August. Now, as with any rumors they are just that, rumors so take them with a grain of salt until we see the device on the shelf.

Look what we have here, could this be the 9300 making its first début on good old YouTube….YEP it sure is. Now I know that the 9300 isn’t the most popular pre-released BlackBerry in town but it is sure making the headlines lately. The guys over at TechnoBuffalo have managed to get their hands on a pre-released…what seems to be very close to production BlackBerry Curve 9300 for T-Mobile UK, the 9300 is running OS 5.0 at the moment so not to sure if its going to be a BlackBerry 6 device (with it this close to BlackBerry 6 launch I hope it gets some 6). Take a look at the video after the brake and let us know thumbs up or thumbs down.
