According to T-Mobile USA, the BlackBerry Curve 3G, otherwise known as the Curve 9300, will be hitting Stateside on September 8th with support for the carrier’s 3G AWS network. T-Mobile’s Facebook page shows that the device will retail for $80 with a 2-year contract when it hits, which isn’t a bad price and is competitive with the newly launched Motorola Charm, which sports a front full keyboard and Android under the hood; the Charm is considered a messaging smartphone and retails for $75 on contract.

The Curve 3G will be available in smokey violet and graphite grey.
