Thread: BlackBerry Curve 9380 Specifications

Earlier we told you that RIM officially announced the release of the Bold 9790 and Curve 9380. Like the Bold 9790 the specifications can get a bit confusing at times. So like we did with the Bold 9790 we will break down the Curve 9380 specifications. As with the 9790 there are many similarities between older versions of the devices and the new devices.

One of the biggest things you will notice right off the bat is the newly designed all touch screen. This is a nice enhancement that I am sure many people will enjoy. This is different from the traditional Curve series that we are used to and it actually looks eerily similar to the Torch 9850/9860.

Here are the hardware specifications:

Size	109 x 60 x 11.2 mm, approximately 98g
Display	3.2" capacitive touch screen display - 480x360 pixel HVGA+ 188ppi
Keyboard	Touch screen QWERTY keyboard, optical trackpad
CPU	806 MHz processor
Memory	512 MB RAM; 512MB GB on-board memory, plus microSD slot supporting up to 32 GB cards
Camera	5.0 MP camera, Flash, 4X Zoom supports VGA video recording (640x480)
Sensors	Orientation Sensor (Accelerometer), Proximity Sensor, Ambiant light sensor
GPS	Built-in GPS / aGPS
Wifi & Connectivity	Wi-Fi - 802.11 b/g/n with NFC Quad-Band: 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz GSM/GPRS networks Tri-Band UMTS networks: (800 / 850) / 1900 / 2100 MHz or 900 / 1700 / 2100 MHz UMTS
Bluetooth	Bluetooth® 2.1+EDR support
Operating System	BlackBerry 7 OS
Battery	1230 mAh removable, rechargeable battery

Lots of nice things to look at here. One thing to note here is that despite the nice new screen, it would appear as though RIM took a step backwards as far as hardware performance. I am not sure why that is, but only time will tell. Let us know if you plan on getting the new Curve 9380.

Hey look, its the fabled Storm 3 which became a Curve Touch!

Okay so who every buy this phone either have money towase or don't know anything about techonology... Soon it will be 2012 instead of going forward RiM downgrading the hardware.. Lol sad to say people will actually buy this ****ty phone .. Not even 1ghz wow Rim

Its a low end budget phone, the Curve series always has been.

Right, the Curve series is made less powerful to appeal to users who afford the higher end devices.

After looking at other OS7 BlackBerry Curve device's, I can truly say this is a contender for my cash to own as a back-up in case of an emergency, or to swap.

This 9380 is such a nice phone
