Post RIM goes pale, shows white Curve 8520 for T-Mobile and Bold for AT&T

We know it's after Labor Day, but that doesn't seem to be stopping RIM from rolling out a couple BlackBerrys in bright white this season -- and who are we to accuse Waterloo of a fashion faux-pas? First up, the Curve 8520 on T-Mobile is now available, complementing the black and "frost" versions that have already landed; perhaps more interesting, though, is direct confirmation from RIM that there'll be a white version Bold hitting AT&T in mid-October. With the Bold 2 seemingly around the corner, recoloring the current model seems like an odd move -- but if they can continue to sell the Bold at a moderate discount a la iPhone 3G / 3GS, there might yet be a strategy there. The version RIM had on hand wasn't AT&T-branded, but... you know, just imagine the silkscreened logo and customized wallpaper, and you'll get the idea.

Why can't RIM make a web browser that works? I like my Tour, but browsing is a joke.

Comparing it to what? Nothing touches the iPhone's browsing capabilities, but as an enterprise email solution nothing can touch a Blackberry on BES. (IMO)

PS- for blackberry users here, did everyone update to BB Messenger 5.0 today? http://crackberry.com/blackberry-mes...-now-available

Yeah, I really liked 5.0... but I just switched to a tour last week which is COMPLETELY locked down from what I've seen.

Freakin 160 character text message limit is pissing me off.
