What’s this we have here? Leaked specifications on the upcoming BlackBerry Curve 9220? The Curve 9220 is another device coming to the Curve lineup from RIM. This device will accompany the Curve 9320 to the hands of BlackBerry customers in emerging markets. The specs aren’t too shabby for a Curve, featuring a 2.44″ display, 512 MB of RAM, and WiFi b/g/n, the curve looks to be a great device for first-time BlackBerry owners. We haven’t confirmed if the new BBM key will be features on this device, but it’s a possibility. Look for the 9220 to launch sometime in March, April, or May of this year.

Another of the leaked slides from today shows off RIM’s White series of BlackBerry devices. It lists the current family of the Torch 9810, Bold 9900, and Curve 9360, alongside the upcoming additions to the family, the Bold 9790 and Curve 9380. The white option is a highly desired option that not only RIM is embracing, but many other manufacturers are, as well. If you’re a fan of White devices and you want a Bold 9790 or Curve 9380, then you may want to hold off till Q2 to get your hands on one.

Spotify has been available for BlackBerry in Beta form for a little while and has now made the jump to an official application. The BlackBerry app is available to all Spotify users, but to utilize the streaming functionality you’ll need a subscription which runs for $9.99 a month. This fee gets you unlimited streaming to desktop and mobile, as well as the ability to download your favorite tracks to your BlackBerry for instant listening anytime.

Spotify for BlackBerry is available free from the Spotify website, which is linked below. The application only runs on the following, GSM-only devices: Bold 9000, 9700, & 9780, Curve 8520 & 9300. The Torch 9800 is not currently supported and neither are any BlackBerry 7 devices. Hopefully Spotify will remedy this with a wider reaching release in the coming weeks. You can learn more about Spotify HERE or download the BlackBerry app below.
