RIM BlackBerry Curve 9360 Review

0. phoneArena posted on 03 Oct 2011, 09:18

RIM’s beloved Curve line bears all of the wonderful functionality found with its brethren – while being priced on the affordable side. Continuing the trend, the BlackBerry Curve 9360 packs all of the typical incremental upgrades over its predecessor, but will it be able to establish itself now that we’ve spoiled by some of RIM’s current generation smartphones?...

You report all those minuses and STILL it receives an EIGHT? What does it have to do to get a seven then? Good God...if it was a Nokia with all those minuses you would have prolly given it a -1 and would have made a video of how you run it over with a tank...

It got an eight because the issues are minor when you think about the price at which T-Mobile and RIM are selling it at. Just Saying.

Run over the Nokia? Do you WANT to destroy the damn tank? Those things are expensive you know!

A very important Blackberry. This is a gateway product, and if the curve doesn't sell, you cannot build an audience for the higher end Blackberry or the upcoming QNX devices.

Well, the Blackberry Bold 9900 is selling at a nice rate, surprisingly ($300 dollars for something the HTC Sensation offers at $200... oy vey). So if the Bold is selling with THAT price tag, then the Curve will definitely sell. I can't wait to see what QNX will look like!
But with QNX, does this mean that Blackberry is over?

By the end of October, the 9900/9930s will be available for $50 on contract, so I don't understand why the rush to get a Curve.

The 9650 is still 199. I don't know what you're talking about.

Best Buy is offering the 9850 at $99 and the 9930 (Sprint) for $199. The 9930 opened at $249. In another month, with all of the competing announcements from Apple and Android, the only way to get mind-share will be to drop the price.

Bold 9930 was released and is still $199.99 on Sprint last time I checked. And I feel it's going to stay that way for a while longer. It is a good solid device.

Blackberry hasn't impressed me with their Curve series. It's already free in some retail stores. I'm a huge fan of the bold 9930, but I agree that we're paying more than what we get at $199.99-$249.99. It needs to drop to at least $99.99 for me to consider. Right now I'm happy with my epic touch, but BB's keyboard is just butter on toast, Delicious!
