BlackBerry Curve 9310 / 9320 turns up at FCC, fails to keep a low profile
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9320
FCC docs can, from time to time, turn up some welcome device surprises. Not so in this recent RIM filing, as we're treated to yet another in a long line of leaks for the company's Curve 9310 / 9320. The BB OS 7.1 handset, bearing the FCC IDs L6AREY20CW and L6ARFD30CW, has already made several appearances around the globe, preparing for a low-end market berth in Australia, India, Vietnam and the UK. So, aside from RF testing data indicating WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth radios, our familiarity with the phone's specs come from its prior in-the-wild jaunts. Should a single-core processor, 512MB RAM, 3.2-megapixel camera and hardware QWERTY tickle your mobile fancy, then by all means click on the sou...

BlackBerry Curve 9320 now official: BB OS 7.1, 2.44-inch display, BBM button
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9320
The 9320 has visited more countries during its short gestation than some phones get to see in their whole lives, but it's finally arrived. The specs are pretty much what we guessed, with the socially-focused BB OS 7.1 onboard, a 3.2-megapixel camera and typical Curve features like a 2.44-inch 320 x 240 non-touch LCD display, 'super charged' 1450mAh battery, FM radio and a small, lightweight 103 gram QWERTY form factor. Same specs, different day, but then there's also microSD expandability beyond the 512MB of eMMC, which can't be taken for granted, plus a new feature in the form of a dedicated BBM key on the side. As for the 9320's cheaper sibling, the 9220 shown above, we've already been han...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9320
The Curve 9320 is expected to slide into the bottom of the BlackBerry range, below the Curve 9360, as RIM looks to target its popular youth sector.
A spokesperson for RIM confirmed the news to TechRadar at BlackBerry World 2012, but was unable to provide any details relating to the exact Curve 9320 release date, price of specifications.
TechRadar did see a potential leak of BlackBerry Curve 9320 details last month, after T-Mobile accidentally let slip on its website.
According to the leak the Curve 9320 will sport the famous BlackBerry QWERTY keypad, a 3.2MP rear-facing camera, the BlackBerry 7.1 OS and it will also feature a dedicated BBM key on the side of the handset.

Image of BlackBerry 10 leaked
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryZ10
Avid BlackBerry fans out there have probably been keeping their eyes on rumors surrounding the potential upcoming London device and BlackBerry 10. We’ve previously reported that this release is expected to occur sometime in September 2012.
CrackBerry has gotten their hands on a presentation slide that references ‘London’ with a list of features and most interestingly, a photo of a device running BlackBerry 10. The most notable aspect of this picture is that the phone depicted is very different looking than the previously leaked photo of the London.
The photo of the first prototype had angled edges and silver accents reminiscent of the BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981, whereas this device loo...

BlackBerry roadmap shows two tablets and BlackBerry 10 smartphone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsRIM BlackBerry
A BlackBerry roadmap was obtained by N4BB and shows some very important dates for 'Berry fans. Let's cut to the chase. Speculation is circulating that RIM has only one BlackBerry 10 model that it is working on, and whatever that model is will be launched in September according to the roadmap. The first BlackBerry 10 powered SuperPhone is supposed to be called the BlackBerry London or possibly the BlackBerry Surfboard.

Verizon launches BlackBerry Curve 9370
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryVerizon WirelessCurve 9370
If all the Windows Phone and Android news isn't really striking your fancy and iPhones hold no appeal then, perhaps, your interest will be piqued by the BlackBerry Curve 9370 which was just announced. Verizon unveiled the latest budget-friendly RIM device for CES and it doesn't depart too much from the QWERTY, candybar mold. In addition to CDMA radios it's also got GSM for globetrotters and NFC for those that want to hop on the next wave of mobile payment tech. Around the back is a 5-megapixel camera, probably not capable of shooting 1080p. The 9370 will run you $99 with a two year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. And, most importantly, it'll be upgradeable to BlackBerry OS 7.1 -- the mo...

RIM now working on only one BlackBerry 10 smartphone; Colt, Milan cancelled
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryMilan
We already reported that the BlackBerry Colt — the handset that was originally intended to be the Research In Motion’s first BlackBerry 10 smartphone — has been cancelled. In addition, we have heard from multiple sources that the BlackBerry Milan that leaked last month was in fact was never a QNX smartphone, but a BlackBerry 7 device with a slightly different design identity. Regardless, the Milan has been cancelled as well. We’re told carriers balked at the idea of carrying a BlackBerry 7 phone so similar to the BlackBerry Torch at this point in time.

BlackBerry Curve 9360 gets mobile hotspot thanks to leaked OS 7.1
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9360
Following closely with recent leaks for the Bold 9900 and Torch 9810, the entry-level BlackBerry Curve 9360 now has a leaked operating system upgrade which will enable mobile hotspot functions.
BlackBerry users have been waiting for this function for a long time, and even now seems a little late to the party, what with BlackBerry 10 right around the corner. It would be entirely laughable if RIM managed to launch their new platform without mobile hotspot, but given how they’ve been slogging on bringing new PlayBook functions to market, I wouldn’t be remotely surprised if there were a few function gaps in RIM’s next-gen smartphones.
