I shouldn’t do too much explaining but just in case you didn’t get it the first time I will. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 aka the Gemini is now available from Amazon for just 1 cent. That’s right, you can get the Gemini for $0.01 which means you save $298.98. So don’t even think about paying $130 or $49 for this totally new RIM phone. Amazon will deliver it straight to your door for 1 cent. Unfortunately the new contract is still mandatory!

The day has finally come folks! T-Mobile has the Gemini ready for you for just $129.99. As you can see, the suggested retail price is $299.99 so you save instantly $170. The question is, wouldn’t you rather pay $49 for the same Curve 8520 sold now at Walmart? No matter where you purchase your Curve 8520, you’ll still have to get a T-Mobile contract. And since we’re talking about an entry-level Berry here, you might just be better off paying what Walmart is asking for it. What do you think?

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is now available online too from T-Mobile. RIM’s latest phone will be “coming soon”. You’ll be able to order your Gemini starting with August 5 but there are no prices available yet. Will it have anything to do with that $48.88 Walmart price we’ve seen earlier? With such a price tag it’s almost impossible not to bump into the new Curve in a Walmart store and decide to pick one up. However, if most of your handset shopping is done online then check T-Mobile website in about two days to see how much T-Mobile is going to ask for a brand new BlackBerry Curve 8520.

Just as we suspected, the HTC Hero seems to be heading to Sprint. The picture here even shows a date for the HTC arrival. According to it Sprint should launch the phone on October 11. Of course there’s no indication that the document in the picture is a coming from Sprint and it could have been easily faked.

Besides the Hero, other phones are also mentioned. The Samsung Q is apparently an Android phone made by Samsung and heading to Sprint while the Aries is the CDMA version of the Gemini, a BlackBerry phone that will arrive soon from Verizon too. As for the Lotus 2 from LG, the handset is only interesting right now as there’s no information about it.

Getting back to the Hero, we’ll just have to say that we expect Sprint to launch it anyway so they could very well confirm it already.

Guess what folks? The CDMA version of the BlackBerry Gemini is going to be available from Verizon Wireless soon. And if you disappointed to find out that the 8520 is coming from T-Mobile without WiFi support then you’re probably going to want the 8530 from Verizon. That’s right, the Aries heading to Big Red will offer you WiFi support just as will any other future Berry coming from Verizon.

Other specs include:

• 320×240 resolution screen
• 1xRTT, EV-DO
• QWERTY keyboard
• 2 megapixel camera
• OS 5.0
• Bluetooth
• Wi-Fi b,g

We have no idea when the 8530 will be available but we’re expecting Verizon to match T-Mobile’s pricing.

We’ve been hearing about this handset for a long time but it seems RIM has finally decided its time to let the BlackBerry Curve 8520 out of the bag.

This phone will officially feature a 320 x 240 resolution display, 2MP camera with video capture, WiFi, a track pad in place of the iconic track ball and the ability to sync up with Macs right out of the box. This is probably thanks to the Mac version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager that we heard about not too long ago.

Better yet, RIM has also us know that those rumors of the 8520 coming to T-Mobile were true as the phone will officially drop on said carrier August 5th for $129.99.

Check out the screenshot here folks! There’s the proof we were looking for! T-Mobile is indeed going to launch the BlackBerry Curve 8520 Gemini on August 5 but the carrier isn’t officially saying anything just yet. The screenshot here is apparently a leaked T-Mobile document in which you can find the release date and the specs of the new Curve. And since that internal document did leak to the public, why can’t the page containing the future prices be made public? Or are we to assume the page here is just a fake, photoshopped picture?

In case you’re waiting for T-Mobile to start selling the Gemini, we have some good news for you. Although it hasn’t been confirmed yet it looks like T-Mobile is getting ready to offer you the BlackBerry Curve 8520 on August 5. As you may already know, T-Mobile has unleashed its BlackBerry Night at the Movies, a special event focused on the Gemini. Therefore an August launch will only sound like a logical step to take. All we need now is T-Mo’s confirmation press release!

You already know that T-Mo is going to launch the BlackBerry Curve 8520. What you don’t know is that RIM and T-Mobile are preparing extensively for the launch. BlackBerry Night at the Movies is a series of 51 parties which will start on July 20 and continue for about two weeks. The events are meant to celebrate the launch of the Curve 8520.

The parties will include a movie screening, contests, prizes and more surprises. The Gemini, that’s how we like to call the 8520, will be also unveiled at each party.

Can we expect T-Mobile to launch the Gemini during these Night at the Movies parties? Or will the phone be available immediately after?

If rumors are to be believed, it seems that for about 2 weeks Walmart will be the exclusive carrier of T-Mobile’s BlackBerry Curve 8520 starting on August 5th.

For those who don’t know the BlackBerry 8520 features a 320 x 240 resolution display, 2MP camera, WiFi, quad-band GSM and RIM’s OS 5.0. Unfortunately, those looking for a 3G capable device will be discouraged to hear that this will not feature said connectivity.

Alternatively, if you want to grab one ahead of the competition you can always count on eBay.

The Onyx is one of your future RIM smartphones but it’s not ready to ship to your door quite yet. The phone is not official, so we have to deal with leaked pictures of it in the mean time. We don’t have all the specs but the BlackBerry 9020 Onyx will apparently come with an optical trackpad to replace that regular trackball. We definitely need more details about the Onyx, so now that the Tour is out RIM could focus more on the Onyx and tell us everything there is to know about the phone. And just in case you were wondering the other BlackBerry in the picture is the Gemini.

AT&T is hot right now as we keep getting details about future phones the carrier will launch. Shouldn’t they focus on keeping the buzz alive around the iPhone 3G considering that Sprint is playing with the Pre these days?

After the HTC Lancaster, which will be AT&T’s first Android phone, now we have a bunch of BlackBerry smartphones headed to AT&T. These are the Magnum, the Onyx, the Pearl 3G and the Gemini. We have no release dates available so far and we’d also love some prices for these upcoming handsets.

If you’ve seen the BlackBerry Gemini or the curve 8520, then you absolutely have to see the BlackBerry Aries. That way you’ll be able to make an informed decision when purchasing your next RIM device. So what is the Aries? Well the Aries is the same phone as the Gemini but it comes with CDMA support. That’s where you get to choose your future carrier. So what carrier will it be? The Curve 8520 aka the Gemini or the Curve 8530 aka the Aries?

The Gemini or the BlackBerry 8520 has been scheduled to be delivered to you by T-Mobile in the last quarter of the year. The pricing hasn’t be revealed just yet but we’re counting on T-Mobile to make an announcement at some point. While we’ll be waiting for the full specs of the Gemini we can’t help but notice that optical trackball which should definitely impress you. Would you grab the 8520 or would you rather wait for a different BlackBerry?

It looks like the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is the Gemini or at least that would be the logical conclusion when comparing the specs of the two phones. This Curve could be a low cost smartphone for emerging markets as the features aren’t that impressive so far:

• 320×240 resolution screen
• Wi-Fi 802.11b/g (no draft n)
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
• OS 5.0
• Changeable faceplates possible
• 2 megapixel camera

We’ll be still waiting for those release information as RIM hasn’t officially said anything about the Gemini.
