SFR and Bouygues Launch the Curve 8900 in France

Okay, catch up time.  I have missed a few days which I apologize for, but let’s get to it.  Bouygues Telecom and SFR both recently announced the launch of the BlackBerry Curve 8900.  Yes, two carriers in France get the 8900 before us, what a surprise.  Check out all the info below.

SFR is launching the 8900 online on Jan. 31st, and in retail stores in Febuary.  Pricing for SFR’s 8900 will be €99 including taxes in conjunction with SFR’s Illimythics service plans and €109 excluding taxes with SFR Business Team Pro service plans.  They are also having special business offers available from Jan. 21st to March 24th.
