Last week BlackBerry.com celebrated how they love U2, putting out the word for their all new mobile album which has yet to be released. Now we see BlackBerry.com throwing the all new Curve 8520 out there just to soup up all the excited T-Mobile customers. The above image is spread big on the main home page when entering the official website. For those unaware, the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is a pretty exciting device, which is expected to launch at Walmart for a special price of only $50.
