If you were planning to head to Sprint today to pick up the RIM BlackBerry Curve 9350, you're going to have to save that trip for later. The carrier announced on its Community page that the launch of the entry-level BlackBerry is delayed till October due to "unexpected circumstances."

Sprint said it will share the specific release date closer to launch, though a source at Phone Arena believes the launch date will be October 2.

The BlackBerry Curve 9350 will cost $79.99 with a two-year contract (business customers can get it as low as $49.99) and offers a 2.44-inch, 480x360-pixel display, an 800MHz processor, a 5-megapixel camera, and BlackBerry OS 7.
