"The introduction of exciting handsets, like the BlackBerry Curve 8310 with GPS, helps enhance AT&T's position as the world's leading provider of BlackBerry services with one of the most compelling BlackBerry handset portfolios in the industry," said Michael Woodward, vice president, Business Voice/Data and Wireless Products, AT&T. "Earlier this year, AT&T was the first carrier in North America to introduce the BlackBerry 8800 with built-in GPS, followed by the BlackBerry 8820 with Wi-Fi and GPS. Both handsets have an enterprise focus. Now, through the BlackBerry Curve 8310, AT&T is bringing GPS capabilities to a much broader audience of not only business users but also mobile professionals and consumers."
