14 DAY TRIAL // Canadian carrier MTS is about to add another BlackBerry 7 smartphone to its portfolio, the BlackBerry Curve 9360.
MTS Mobility introduced the Torch 9810 a few weeks ago and confirmed it will release the BlackBerry Bold 9900 by the end of the month.
BlackBerry Curve 9360 has been spotted on the BlackBerry software download section for MTS Mobility carrier, by the folks over at MobileSyrup, which confirms that its upcoming availability.
Although no details about the phone's release date and price options emerged yet, it is expected to go live in the following weeks with a low price tag attached to it.
In this regard, MTS offers the old BlackBerry Curve 9300 with BlackBerry 6 operating system on board for only $29.99 (22 EUR) with a three-year agreement and a minimum $44.99 (32 EUR) voice and data plan.
Aimed at customers who cannot afford one of the high-end BlackBerry 7 smartphones, such as the Bold 9900, Torch 9810 or Torch 9860, BlackBerry Curve 9360 promises to deliver the same level of user experience.
The newest RIM smartphone offered by MTS is the Torch 9810, which is now available for purchase for as low as $149.99 (108 EUR) with a new three-year agreement and a minimum $44.99 (32 EUR) voice and data plan.
Given these prices, we can safely assume that the Curve 9360 will be priced at around $100 (72 EUR) with a new three-year agreement.
The smartphone runs RIM's latest BlackBerry 7 operating system and offers the same traditional full portrait QWERTY keyboard along with touch-sensitive optical trackpad.
In addition, the Curve 9360 is equipped with a single core 800 MHz processor and packs 512 MB of internal memory, 512 MB or RAM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
Unlike BlackBerry Bold 9900 that features a touchscreen display, the Curve 9360 comes with a standard 2.44-inch display with 480 x 360 pixels resolution.
