The BlackBerry 8300 has been announced as available to Germany through T-Mobile come June. We got any German readers in the house? Considering England already has it, we’re surprised that other carriers haven’t started busting out the Curve. Only a few precious weeks left until June hits – with any luck, a few more European carriers will follow O2’s lead and get a head start.

I am from Germany. In Germany T-Mobile always sells two different variants of each BB device, one for BIS users and one for BES/BIS users. The BIS/BES variant of the BlackBerry Curve 8300 will be available at the end of May. The BIS variant will be available in June.
Btw, the BB devices in Germany do NOT have a SIM lock. But make sure you do not buy a BIS-only variant from T-Mobile Germany, these devices only work with T-Mobile Germany BIS-Accounts. The price for the 8300 will be 430 Euro (incl. VAT) without a new contract. If you get a two year contract with T-Mobile the price is 100 Euro.
You should make a trip to Germany end of May and get your 8300
Great info, acnst! Thanks for the inside scoop.
When will we see the Curve through T-Mobil in the US???
