This Fall, Canadians will be getting their hands on several high-end devices including the BlackBerry Thunder/Storm, BlackBerry Javelin and the HTC Touch Diamond.  Now that the BlackBerry Javelin has officially become the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and the Thunder has moved onto become the Storm we can finally get to the important pieces of information, the release dates.  According to MobileSyrup, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 will be releasing on Bell’s network sometime in November along with the release of the BlackBerry Thunder/Storm.  But before either the Curve 8900 or Storm hit Canada, Bell will be launching the HTC Touch Diamond on October 15th.
