T-Mobile Germany have accidentally let slip details on the new BlackBerry Curve 8900, a slightly cut-down GSM-only version of the BlackBerry Bold 9000.

According to T-Mobile, the Curve 8900 has both WiFi and GPS, comes with a 480 x 360 pixel display (a higher pixel count than the 9000), Bluetooth and some unspecified type of digital camera.

The large 1400 mAh battery is quoted as giving a surprisingly short 4 hours talktime and 16 days standby time. Although this isn't a 3G phone, it does support EDGE data in addition to GPRS and local WLAN connections. If you're using it for email, then the lack of 3G won't be a real problem.

We don't know if this is a T-Mobile exclusive or not, but it should be available from next month in Germany. Unfortunately, the content now appears to have been removed from the T-Mobile site, and of course all of these specifications need to be officially confirmed.
