We have the BlackBerry Curve 8520 Gemini making a first appearance today thanks to the guys over at CrackBerry who have managed to locate some first images.

Apparently the new BlackBerry Curve 8520 Gemini will feature an optical trackball, a “rubberised” housing, and dedicated media buttons and has an updated look.

The non-classic style trackball may put some of the BlackBerry faithful off somewhat, and the obvious lack of any 3G is a bit of a downer as well, still no doubt the BlackBerry Curve 8520 Gemini will gain enough following to become relatively successful.
