We’re just beginning our sojourn through this year’s BlackBerry World , and we’ve already found a rare gem that may not get a lot of face time here in the States: the Curve 9220 . This little 3G-less beaut takes advantage of BlackBerry OS 7.1 , but it isn’t going to attract the spec-hungry folk — it packs a 2MP camera and features a 2.4-inch non-touch display with 320 x 240 resolution.

It’s not the QNX-based smartphone you’ve all been waiting for, but it should give crackberry devotees something to bop along to. Outed just one day before the company’s showcase officially kicks off in Orlando, Waterloo’s trotting out its BlackBerry Music Gateway: a car / home stereo accessory that pairs with your BB handset or PlayBook tablet to wirelessly stream audio over Bluetooth with an NFC assist.

Ready for your latest tour through the dense and meandering wording of patent applications ?

It also totes 850MHz and 1,900MHz WCDMA bands being used for HSPA+ data rather than just voice, a clue that the phone is ready for refarmed GSM spectrum
