RIM has announced the launch of three new Blackberry Curve models in the form of the “affordable” Curve 9360, Curve 9350, and Curve 9370. All three new Curve smartphones will run RIM’s next-generation BlackBerry 7 OS, which RIM reports is 40 percent quicker than its previous Blackberry 6 OS.
They are also equipped with NFC technology, 5-megapixel cameras – complete with flash and video recording, and memory that can be increased when needed to a maximum of 32GB. The handsets will also be running the latest Facebook 2.0 application which includes Facebook Chat, together with a newly updated Blackberry Messenger.
Enhanced Features and Capabilities
The new Blackberry Curve handsets are designed to offer a seamless and enhanced user experience. The inclusion of NFC (Near Field Communication) technology allows users to make mobile payments, exchange data with other NFC-enabled devices, and even use their phones as electronic tickets or boarding passes. This feature is particularly useful in today’s fast-paced world where convenience is key.
The 5-megapixel camera, complete with flash and video recording capabilities, ensures that users can capture high-quality images and videos on the go. This makes the Curve series not just a communication device but also a handy tool for photography enthusiasts. The expandable memory up to 32GB means users can store a significant amount of data, including photos, videos, and applications, without worrying about running out of space.
Social Media Integration and Connectivity
The latest Facebook 2.0 application integrated into these devices brings a host of new features, including Facebook Chat, which allows users to stay connected with their friends and family in real-time. The updated Blackberry Messenger (BBM) further enhances the social media experience by providing a reliable and efficient platform for instant messaging.
The new Blackberry Curve handsets will be launched globally from September but will be arriving in Canada a little earlier before the end of August 2011. No prices or tariffs have yet been announced by RIM, but Vodafone has already confirmed it will stock the Curve 9360. The three new Blackberry Curves handsets make a total of six new devices launched by RIM this month.
The launch of these new models signifies RIM’s commitment to staying competitive in the smartphone market by offering devices that cater to a wide range of users. The affordability of the Curve series makes it accessible to a broader audience, including students and young professionals who are looking for a reliable and feature-rich smartphone without breaking the bank.
In addition to the hardware and software enhancements, RIM has also focused on improving the overall user interface and experience. The BlackBerry 7 OS is designed to be more intuitive and user-friendly, making it easier for users to navigate through their devices and access the features they need quickly and efficiently.
Overall, the new Blackberry Curve models are a testament to RIM’s dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction. With their advanced features, enhanced social media integration, and competitive pricing, these devices are poised to make a significant impact in the smartphone market. Whether you’re a long-time Blackberry user or new to the brand, the Curve 9360, Curve 9350, and Curve 9370 offer something for everyone.
