You were not expecting this, but Cincinnati Bell is the first carrier in the USA to offer the Nokia XpressMusic 5800 for a subsidized price. Its customers in the Ohio region will get to choose from the $149.99 with a contract version and the $349.99 without a contract version. The contract-less version is $50 cheaper than Nokia’s current price so people might still be interested in Cincinnati Bell’s offer even without a contract. Anyone else interested in bringing the 5800 to the American public?

Cincinnati shifts operations into high gear with the launch of the Blackberry Curve 8900 and Blackberry Pearl Flip 8820 smartphones from RIM in their phone lineup. The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is the thinnest and lightest full-QWERTY BlackBerry handset in the market today, and the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 is the first smartphone in RIM’s portfolio to come in the popular flip form.

Both smartphones feature advanced multimedia and communication capabilities including built-in Wi-Fi, which is compatible with Cincinnati Bell’s Fusion WiFi service.

“Consumer demand for style, function, and ease of use in smartphones continues to gain momentum, and the sleek, powerful BlackBerry Curve 8900 and BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 offer winning combinations on all fronts,” said Tim Bracken, director of consumer wireless for Cincinnati Bell. “We are excited to offer these best-in-class BlackBerry smartphones and believe they will appeal to a broad range of customers.”
