AT&T to Release BlackBerry 8320, OS 4.5 for 8310 on 23 September

[Reegan]

BlackBerryNews has learned that AT&T will release the WiFi-enabled 8320 Curve in its titanium variant on Tuesday, September 23rd. Running OS 4.5 out of the box, the 8320 will cost $199.99 on a 2-year contract with a $100 mail-in rebate available to those who subscribe to a data plan. But that’s not all they have planned for that day.

Not wanting to have their other Curve clients feel left out, AT&T will also release OS 4.5 for the 8310 on the same day that the 8320 is released.

The only question that remains now is who will actually buy the WiFi Curve when they can get the GPS, WiFi, and 3G packing Bold a month later? I know I’d rather wait. Besides, I could use the extra month to earn the $200 difference!

It will be powered by OS 4.5, and can be yours for $199.99 after you sign up for a 2-year contract in addition to a $100 mail-in rebate. Of course, this is news only to those who love the 8320 Curve but have been hankering for a built-in Wi-Fi functionality. Still, those who own the 8310 will aso receive the OS 4.5 update on September 23rd as well.
