MetroPCS Communications, Inc., launches their first BlackBerry® CurveTM 8330 smartphone from Research In Motion, featuring a full-QWERTY keyboard and advanced multimedia capabilities. Same like all of MetroPCS’s offerings, the phone is available without a contract, and payment is due at the beginning of the month, rather than the end. The company also unveiled a new, flat-rate plan to support its first smartphone. For $50 per month, customers get unlimited talk time, Web browsing, e-mail and text messaging.
It’s the first smart phone from the Cricket, Metro, and Boost Mobile unlimited, no-contract group, and the price is fully half of what Sprint is charging for the same thing via their Simply Everything plan—which was a good deal until about 13 seconds ago.
The BlackBerry Curve 8330 smartphone will be available for purchase in the following MetroPCS markets beginning the week of March 9th: Greater Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Detroit, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento.
