It looks like T-Mobile will be launching the new Blackberry Curve 8520 very soon! The latest news that I read suggest a release date of August 5th. So, what does the new 8520 offer? Here are some basics features about this latest release:

Price: $130 with a 2 year plan (subject to change)

Colors: Black and Frost (white)

- Dedicated media keys on top of the handset

- Touch sensitive track pad replaces the familiar track ball

- 2 megapixel camera

- Mac compatible

- Built in WiFi capabilities

- Quad band phone

- Bluetooth 2.0

Although there are not as many features as the Blackberry Tour, Bold, or Curve 8900, the new 8520 seems like a great fit for first time Blackberry users or anyone else that wants the basic Blackberry options as well as some cool advanced features.
