BlackBerry Curve 9380 confirmed

Research In Motion (RIM) has a spanking new BlackBerry that is coming your way – the BlackBerry Curve 9380. In fact, the smartphone has already been spotted live, and for the first time, no less. Known as the Curve 9380, when you take a closer look at it, it does resemble a softer, more rounded cousin of the BlackBerry Torch 9860. There were rumors about the Curve 9380 that claims it will come with a relatively smaller 3.25″ display at 360 x 480 resolution, not to mention being the new batch of smartphones which run on the BlackBerry 7 operating system.

There are still many unknowns about the handset, although we do know that it will come with a 5-megapixel camera as well as a flash. Whispers have it that it will ship with a rather slow 800MHz processor, although that shouldn’t be too much of an issue when you compare it to other BlackBerry 6 devices.

The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is also known as the Orlando, which has sometimes been closely associated with the QWERTY-enabled Curve. It might ship early next year, which is still some ways to go – no idea on how much it will cost though. Would you drop some money for it?
