Joint Forces: BlackBerry Curve 8900 + AT&T

After become the top sale in the first trimester of 2009, BlackBerry Curve 8900, the newest breed of BlackBerry Curve Smartphone by RIM, will join forces with AT&T the following summer. According to ChannelWeb,

AT&T said that users who select an unlimited data plan for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 will also receive AT&T Wi-Fi access at nearly 20,000 U.S. hotspots, such as retail stores, restaurants and airports.

That is to say, that this is another kind of "buy one get more" sales strategy which, predictably, will make BlackBerry Curve 8900 still on the top for another trimester.
AT&T as we know is the sole provider for Apple iPhone. So, is there something more behind this joint-forces act? I can't tell. Although none of both AT&T and RIM announce the exact date, yet, the rumor has it that it will be on the following summer.
BlackBerry Curve 8900 not only features a full QWERTY keypad, but also a high-resolution 480 by 360 screen, 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus and image stabilization and premium phone features among other features. So, let's hope that the combination of AT&T and BlackBerry Curve 8900 will create a powerful gadget which we're all will be happy to flash around.
