HIGHLIGHTS

Even as RIM gears up for the big BlackBerry 10 launch later this month, the company has come up with another smartphone on its BlackBerry 7.1 OS.

Weeks before the official launch of the BlackBerry 10 OS, Research in Motion (RIM) has introduced a new smartphone called the BlackBerry Curve 9315.

The BlackBerry Curve 9315 runs on BlackBerry 7.1 OS and features a 3.2 MP camera, microSD memory card expansion and a full, physical QWERTY keyboard. The device supports 3G connectivity as well as built-in FM Radio.

The BlackBerry Curve 9315 will be launched on January 23 in the U.S. There’s no word on release of the device in India but we expect the device to arrive in the subcontinent by mid 2013. The device has been priced at $49 on top of a 20-month Equipment Installment Plan for $10 per month.
