BlackBerry Curve 9370 to make its way to Verizon shelves on January 19

Geez, with all of these Androids and Windows Phones, we could hardly find time for this smart guy here - the RIM BlackBerry Curve 9370, which, as it seems, is going to launch with Verizon Wireless on January 19.

What you'll get for the price of $99.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and your signature on a two-year contract is a 3G-enabled portrait QWERTY candybar, complete with global connectivity and support for NFC. The Curve 9370 also sports a modest 2.44" display and a 5MP camera. Yeah, we know... boooring.

Launching with good-old BlackBerry OS 7.0 out of the box, an update to version 7.1 should come shortly after, bringing a number of new features, the most impressive of which seems to be Mobile Hotspot.
