14 DAY TRIAL // As we reported more than two weeks ago, Kodoo Mobile will carry the BlackBerry Curve 9360, but we didn't have a confirmation for the phone's price on the Tab.
Although the carrier has yet to make the Curve 9360 available online, it looks like Best Buy has already listed the smartphone, which is now available for purchase for $149.00 on the Tab.
According to the latest hearsay, Kodoo Mobile plans to release the Curve 9360 for a suggested retail price of $300.
Recently introduced by Research in Motion (RIM), the handset is expected to hit shelves in Canada at all carriers by the end of August, while U.S. and the rest of the countries will get it starting with September.
Many Canadian carriers have already confirmed the release of the Curve 9360 by the end of the month, including Rogers, TELUS, Virgin Mobile and Bell.
For Europe, the handset will be available starting next month from O2 UK, Vodafone UK and T-Mobile UK, but additional operators may soon confirm the device.
It looks like Koodo Mobile is among the few regional carriers that will receive some BlackBerry 7 love, as the carrier plans to offer the Curve 9360 soon.
BlackBerry Curve 9360 is part of the new BlackBerry 7 OS series, but is one of the less featured devices introduced by RIM.
The smartphone is equipped with an 800 MHz processor, rather than the 1.2GHz CPU embedded onto Bold 9900, Torch 9810 and 9860 models and packs 512 MB of internal memory, 512 MB of RAM, and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
In addition, Curve 9360 sports a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash and video recording capabilities (VGA).
It comes with a small 2.4-inch display with 480 x 320 pixels resolution support and will be delivered with HSDPA and HSUPA support, as well as NFC (Near Field Communications) capabilities.
