BlackBerry Curve 9360 leaks online04 August 2011
Is this the new budget BlackBerry?
All about BlackBerry this week, with the big launch outlining all the company's new smartphones for the coming months. Well, not quite all of them. Another BlackBerry has leaked, which could be the final piece in the jigsaw.
According to Crave, this is the BlackBerry Curve 9360, which didn't launch yesterday. Details are thin on the ground, but from the image we do know it is a candybar phone with a QWERTY keyboard and an optical trackpad. It's also a sequel to the Curve 9300, which was an entry-level BlackBerry from last year, so we can presume this one will be equally affordable when it hits the shelves.
However, it just might be an affordable BlackBerry packing the new OS 7 operating system. Speaking to TechRadar, RIM's UK chief Stephen Bates confirmed that the Curve 8520 and 9300 were a key demographic that will be 'subject to announcements later'.
That announcement is almost certainly the BlackBerry Curve 9360. How soon it will appear isn't clear, but we suspect it will be very soon, once the dust has settled on the Bold Touch 9900, Torch 9860 and Torch 9810 launches we would imagine.
