BlackBerry Curve 3G, Pearl 3G official for AT&T
Sep 29th
AT&T today became one of the later adoptees of RIM’s mainstream BlackBerries, the Curve 3G and the Pearl 3G. Its versions will be identical to those in Canada but will add AT&T native apps, including a U-verse Mobile app to schedule and watch DVR content. The Curve 3G has a QWERTY keyboard but a simple 320×240 screen and a two-megapixel camera, while the small Pearl 3G has a SureType pad but also a 3.2-megapixel camera and a crisper 360×400 screen.
Both phones will be upgradable to BlackBerry 6 in “coming months.”

We’re gauging in our BlackBerry Curve 3G review if that’s all that’s needed, or if RIM should still be looking over its shoulder at Apple and Google.
