T-Mobile says it will offer the BlackBerry Curve 8900 starting in February for an as-of-yet undisclosed price. The unit is currently available in Canada from Rogers Wireless.

The smartphone is stylish with a body of titanium and chrome. Unlike the touch-screen keyboard of the BlackBerry Storm, the Curve features an actual QWERTY keyboard. In fact, the new model is supposed to be the thinnest, most compact, and lightest full-size BlackBerry ever.

You also get Bluetooth, GPS capabilities and Wi-Fi connectivity, but not 3G. It supports T-Mobile's Wi-Fi VoIP Unlimited HotSpot Calling service and unlimited nationwide calling to five people with T-Mobile myFaves.

T-Mobile and Research In Motion say the unit offers the highest resolution screen of any BlackBerry device. The Curve 8900's 2.44-inch display runs at a resolution of 480 x 360 pixels (HVGA).

There's a 3.2 megapixel camera with image stabilization, digital zoom, and flash for taking picture and video and a microSD slot for adding storage. It ships with a 256MB card and supports card sizes up to 16GB.

The processor runs at 512MHz and this BlackBerry, like all recent ones, supports the playback of music and video. It integrates a 3.5mm stereo headset jack.
