14 DAY TRIAL // BlackBerry Curve 9320 leaked a few weeks ago, along with RIM’s BlackBerry 2012 roadmap. The smartphone is expected to hit shelves in Q1 together with another unannounced BlackBerry handset, the Curve 9220.
The Curve 9320 is a budget-friendly BlackBerry 7 smartphone that will probably be available worldwide via multiple carriers. The device is the cheap successor of the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300, which was launched on the market about two years ago.
Although Research In Motion has yet to announce the exact availability and pricing options of the BlackBerry Curve 9320, it appears that the folks over at CrackBerry found out that the smartphone is headed to T-Mobile UK.
