RIM unveils OS 7 powered BlackBerry Curve 9350, 9360 and 9370

BlackBerry fans are in for a treat with RIM’s latest offering of models in the Curve series. Running on the new OS 7, the 9350, 9360 and 9370 promise to be the fastest, sleekest and smartest phones yet.

The new phones are extremely thin and light, weighting only 99 gms. They are almost identical in their specs, sharing a 2.4’’ HVGA+ (480X360) display, among other things. Unlike the earlier Curve models, they do not have a touch screen.

The phones are powered by an 800 MHz processor which is significantly faster than earlier Curve processors. The 9350 and 9360 each have 512 MB of internal memory whereas the 9370 has 1 GB of internal memory. All three offer 32 GB of expandable memory. The phones are powered by a 1000mAh battery pack.

The phones include a 5-mega pixel rear camera and are equipped with GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC support. The premium version of Documents To Go is integrated free of charge with the OS7. What’s more, BlackBerry Balance helps to keep work and play separate on the same device. The smartphones also come with BlackBerry Protect that allows owners to use GPS to locate their phones.

The models come with a comfortable keyboard that makes typing quick and accurate. The optical trackpad allows convenient single-handed navigation. Voice activated search also makes locating material on the phones and the web easy. The next generation BlackBerry browser introduced in the OS 7 promises faster, more fluid web navigation, enhancing video and gaming experiences.

Working, playing and socialising seem to be perfectly synchronised in the calling, mailing, messaging and networking applications powered new BlackBerry Curve models. Though news of the pricing of the smartphones is awaited, it looks like RIM may be well on its way to creating devices that offer users a ‘complete’ communication experience.
