AT&T and RIM throw customers a Curve

RIM and AT&T announced today the BlackBerry 8310, more commonly known as the Curve, will be available for purchase for $199.99 with a 2 year contract.  The Curve is a GPS-enabled BlackBerry that unlike the Verizon 8830 actually lets you use the GPS.  The Curve will be available from AT&T soon and comes in two colors, titanium and red.  From the press release:

Rim_curve_8310 The BlackBerry Curve 8310 from AT&T — featuring a large, ultrabright 320-by-240 pixel display that supports more than 65,000 colors — measures just 4.2 wide by 2.4 inches long by 0.6 thick and weighs approximately 3.9 oz. It combines the renowned BlackBerry e-mail and messaging capabilities — including a built-in spell-checker with user-customizable dictionary — with premium phone features, a comprehensive organizer, fast Internet browser and other applications. It also features impressive multimedia capabilities, including a 2-megapixel camera with 5x digital zoom, an advanced media player, new desktop media manager software, a  3.5 mm stereo headset jack, a microSD memory slot for additional storage and Bluetooth® 2.0 with support for the Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP). The BlackBerry Curve 8310 also supports AT&T Mobile Music™ subscription services and AT&T Push to Talk for walkie-talkie-like communications.
