Typically when we see products leaked before their official launch the culprit is some insider with blurry images of the products. Other times products are outed by the FCC or an overzealous reseller posts specs early.

Walmart has sold and activated the new Blackberry 8520 early to one geek who lovingly went home to give the rest of us a video of him unboxing the device. The T-Mobile 8520 was set to ship on the 5th, but it slipped out of the Walmart bowels a few days early.

You have to figure that RIM and T-Mobile won’t be too happy about this little slip. I wonder if any more of these devices were sold early around the country.
