During a press event
in New York City on Wednesday night we met up with Research In Motion to check out the
BlackBerry Curve 9360, the latest of its
BlackBerry OS 7 devices. Unlike the
Torch 9850x
9860 and the Bold 9900, the Curve 9360 does not offer a
touchscreen
display. This wasn't a deal breaker, though, as it was one of the
nicest Curve models we've seen to date. The 9360, which had Rogers
branding, had the same top-notch keyboard as the Curves that came before
it, although we prefer the
Bold 9900 keyboard just a bit more. The
interface felt rather smooth but we're still not excited about the
lackluster operating system. Sprint has announced that it will carry the
device in the U.S. for $49.99 on contract, but it recently bumped the
launch date from September 9th to sometime in October for unknown
reasons. Our DSLR was on the fritz so we had to use a good old
point-and-shoot, but nonetheless.
