The rumors of BlackBerry 8520 aka Gemini with 3G/HSDPA technology in online forums have spread long enough. Now RIM officially announced it to the public. This Canadian mobile phone manufacturer will soon introduce Curve 9300 3G.


Apart from 3G network support, the difference with the 8520 Curve 9300 is not too obvious. Most part come from the operating system, based on preliminary information Curve 9300 3G will carry OS 6.0. Next is GPS receiver facility and WiFi 802.11 b / g / n. As known, BlackBerry 8520 was not GPS support. And also 8520 Wi-Fi technology was limited to 802.11b / g. So Curve 9300 3G designed to give more communication flexibility in various types of hotspots.

Other feature seems similar to 8520 models. They are 2 MP camera (fixed focus), 65,536 colors TFT screen, trackpad, QWERTY keypad, 3.5 mm audio jack, dedicated music keys and microSDHC slot.

3G BlackBerry Curve 9300 is now available in Canada market. And soon will be available in other countries.
