AT&T confirmed today that the Blackberry Curve 8900 will in fact come to the carrier sometime ‘early summer’. We’re basically talking about the same handset that appeared on T-Mobile some months back, so it’s nothing to go bananas over. Included in the deal is access to over 20,000 AT&T WiFi locations on the device, but you’ll have to choose the Unlimited Data Plan when you sign up. Other features include a 3.2 megapixel camera, microSD card slot and more. Sorry, no word on a price, but I’d guess $100 or so.

Oh yes, Nokia’s E71x is now officially available from AT&T! At just $99 after a 2-year contract signing and $50 mail-in-rebate, this full QWERTY keyboarded handset is actually a steal when compared to other Nokia handsets of a similar form factor. Features include 3G, GPS, 3.2MP camera, media player, 2.4-inch 240×320 screen, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD card slot and a 4 hour talk time on a single charge. Color me excited!

I didn’t know this, but Sony Ericsson is in the business of private labeling cell phones and from the looks of Japanese KDDI’s iida G9 slider phone they’re doing a damn good job. On the outside of the handset is a 3-inch 480×854 touchscreen LCD, microSD card slot, and 3.2 megapixel camera. Stuffed inside the handset is a 1Seg TV tuner, CDMA and GSM support, GPS, Bluetooth, 3.5 hour talk time and 250 hour standby time. When the G9 launches this summer it will be available in black finish with green accents, a titanium finish with silver accents and a mirror finish with pink accents.

No day, or week for that matter is complete without a rumor. So in light of TGIF I bring you an iPhone rumor, this one regarding an updated camera. Digitimes is reporting that OmniVision has scored a deal with Apple to produce a 3.2MP sensor that is presumably for the rumored and upcoming iPhone that should hit this June. Additionally, the report states that they also scored a deal to produce a 5 megapixel sensor that is not for the iPhone, but another product that will launch later this year. Apple Netbook? Maybe.
