Hot off the heels of the BlackBerry Tour launch, RIM isn't slowing down. Previously reported to launch in July, a leaked document shows the BlackBerry Curve 8520 landing at Walmart on August 5th, the same day that the T-Mobile myTouch 3G will be arriving in retail locations. What's interesting is the lengthy exclusivity period: Walmart will be offering the device a full two months prior to any other outlet (October 5th). In addition to launch and exclusivity dates, the document goes on to say that T-Mobile representatives will be in-store to help train Walmart associates on providing the best possible "Customer Experience."
According to a tipster, a two-week pre-launch party, starting on July 20th, will offer a "sneak preview" of the device, along with giveaways and prizes. Has anyone received an invitation to attend?
