For those that may doubt the need for mobile tech blogs like BlackBerry Cool (and you’re probably not one of them because, well, you’re reading BlackBerry Cool), T-Mobile’s impending launch of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 is a perfect example of why we’re awesome. When T-Mobile announced the BlackBerry Curve 8900 earlier this month, they did it without confirming a launch date or price. We’ve already let you know when both corporate and regular customers will be able to purchase the Curve 8900, and now we can give you pricing details for corporate customers. As a bonus, we threw in a few links to the Curve 8900′s device specs as well as RIM’s Curve 8900 page, just because we love ya. You’re welcome!

The image on the left indicates that employees of companies with a T-Mobile corporate account can get the BlackBerry Curve 8900 on January 19th.

If you’re not a corporate customer, post a comment and let us know if the Curve 8900 is worth the wait.
