Less than six weeks after announcing the BlackBerry 9630 Tour phone, Research In Motion has released news on its latest product, the BlackBerry Curve 8520. The smartphone will be carried by T-Mobile, and it will be available on Aug. 5. Although it is aimed at the lower end of the BlackBerry market, the 8520 has one important feature that might become standard on RIM’s smartphone line: an optical trackpad. The 8520 is aimed at consumers, but like all BlackBerry devices, it can also be used in the enterprise.
