Research in Motion together with Iusacell, the third largest Mexican mobile operator, have recently announced the availability of BlackBerry Curve 8330 for the Mexican market. The newest smartphone from the Curve series, BlackBerry 8330 is both highly-featured and stylish and is a perfect handset for Iusacell's EV-DO high speed network (EV-DO is comparable with 3G in terms of performance).

Being a business-oriented device, the 8330 comes packed with features like email, Web access, messaging and organizer, plus GPS to work with Iusacell's Copiloto Ubicacel - a service that includes maps, audible directions and useful information on places of interest.

Furthermore, the features of BlackBerry 8330 include: a 320 x 240 pixel display, a full QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and AVRCP, Media player, easy Facebook access, a 2 Megapixel camera with flash and video, USB and memory card support for up to 8GB.

BlackBerry Curve 8330 measures 4.2 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches (107 x 61 x 15 millimeters), weighs 4 ounces (113 grams) and comes with a battery capable of providing up to 4.3 hours of talk-time and more than 10 days of stand-by time.

Talking about the new smartphone, Gustavo Guevara, 3G Applications Director at Iusacell, said: "The BlackBerry Curve 8330 is a perfect smartphone for users that, in addition to looking for a great mobile broadband experience on our EV-DO 3G network, want to use text intensively, since its full QWERTY keyboard makes it easy to reply to emails, upload notes to Facebook, and chat on instant messaging services among other applications."

Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion, added: "The BlackBerry Curve has proven very popular with both business users and consumers. Its unique combination of powerful communications and multimedia capabilities, together with Iusacell's high-speed network and value added services, makes it a great phone for work and play."

RIM and Iusacell say that the new Curve smartphone can be bought from Iusacell Specialized Service Centers across Mexico, but its price was not unveiled.
