We’ve just received word that Rogers will be dropping the price of the newly-released Blackberry Curve 9300 from $79.99 to $49.99 on a 3-year contract come August 17th.

Not bad considering the device has just been released and there really isn’t a better deal available for people who are looking to get into a new, lower-end Blackberry before the Torch is released in Canada in the next couple months.

We will have more on the story as it drops, including other Rogers phones getting discontinued.
