As expected, T-Mobile has officially announced that they too will be carrying the BlackBerry Curve 3G in the coming weeks. The announcement as posted on the T-Mobile press release website:

Bellevue, Wash. — Aug. 9, 2010

T-Mobile is excited to announce the upcoming retail availability of the BlackBerry Curve 3G – a practical yet functional option to help manage the hectic pace of work and play. Available in two finishes, smoky violet and graphite grey, this approachable slim and stylish BlackBerry provides the advantages of high-speed 3G Web browsing, Wi-Fi connectivity for voice and data, access to BlackBerry App World, built-in GPS and visual voicemail to keep customers connected on the go and navigate their busy lives.

The Curve 3G also provides balance to life with dedicated exterior media keys, pre-installed social networking applications and a range of messaging options, including personal and Exchange email, BBM, SMS, MMS and IM.

In addition, as a quad-band world phone, the BlackBerry Curve 3G supports international roaming, extending the ability to stay connected while traveling abroad, and Wi-Fi connectivity for both voice and data for Wi-Fi calling and fast Web access.

The BlackBerry Curve 3G is anticipated to be available in the coming weeks at T-Mobile retail stores, select dealers and online at https://www.t-mobile.com/.

No details from T-Mobile on exact pricing of the device but, pretty sure you'll be able to pick this one up for less then $100 when signing a new 2 year contract. Which all in all, if you want a nice cost effective BlackBerry that will eventually run BlackBerry 6, the BlackBerry Curve 3G looks quite attractive.
