RIM has given its fans plenty to be excited about in 2009. They kicked it off with the BlackBerry Curve 8900, and marched through to the Tour, their most powerful CDMA device to date. In the near future we can look forward to the Onyx and the Storm 2, plus a slippery device known now as the Magnum. With all of these high-end devices taking up our attention, it’s easy to lose sight of a lesser offering. This is the case with the BlackBerry Curve 8520, better known by its production name, Gemini. The low-end device hit T-Mobile and Wal-Mart shelves this week amid, well, not much fanfare. Still, there’s a lot to like about the new device.

One thing you will just LOVE about the new Curve 8520 is that you can get it FREE for a limited time only. Continue reading to learn a little more about the brand new Gemini and to find out how you can get yours (and many other models) for free.

The picture, of course, was taken with my BlackBerry. I didn’t have time to go in and schmooze, but it was a pretty comprehensive store from the looks of it, offering BlackBerry devices and accessories. If you’re ever in the area, stop by and check it out for yourselves.

It has been a little more than 6 months since we took that long trip down to Michigan to bring you breaking news, photos and video of the only existing store that caters solely to the needs of BlackBerry users.

The BlackBerry Store, located in Farmington Hills, Michigan is a sight to behold. With full cooperation from RIM, Wireless Giant has built a very stylish building and lined the shelves with every make and model of BlackBerry that is currently available. In addition to all the drool inducing gadgetry on display, there is also a tantalizing buffet of batteries, cases, and all manner of accessories laid out across a huge wall on one end of the store.
