BlackBerry Curve 9360 at T-Mobile on September 28th

Wireless services provider T-Mobile has just announced that they will be releasing the BlackBerry Curve 9360 smartphone before the end of this month in a black flavor, and that a merlot version of the device will be made available starting with October 12th. 

T-Mobile business customers can already pre-order the new mobile phone, yet the handset will not go for sale via T-Mobile retail stores until September 28th, when it will also arrive at select dealers and national retailers nationwide. 

The wireless carrier did not offer info on the price tag the new device will sport when made available, but it is expected to go for around $79.99 (around 60 Euros) with the signing of a two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate.

“Today, T-Mobile announced the upcoming availability of the BlackBerry Curve 9360, which combines powerful new BlackBerry features with an attractive price point. The new BlackBerry smartphone will be available in two stylish color finishes - black and merlot,” the carrier said. 

The handset runs under the new BlackBerry 7 OS from Research In Motion and is capable of offering a great experience to all users, including a much better Internet browsing courtesy of the new BlackBerry 7 Webkit-browser included with it. 

The mobile phone features a 2.4-inch display, complemented by a full QWERTY keyboard and a navigation track-pad, as well as a faster application processor when compared to the previous Curve models.

The new device sports a 5-megapixel photo snapper with support for video recording, as well as WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities, and a microSD memory card slot so that users could expand the available memory inside the phone. 

Moreover, RIM packed the handset with the latest release of BBM (BlackBerry Messenger), as well as with other applications and games, and with the ability to download and install even more of them via the BlackBerry App World. 

“The new BlackBerry Curve is designed to address a large and important segment of the global mobile phone market where customers are looking to upgrade their existing feature phone or existing BlackBerry Curve with an affordable, easy-to-use, full-featured and socially-connected smartphone,” T-Mobile explains.
