Virgin Mobile release the BlackBerry Curve 9360, sizes it up next to a Gnome


Virgin Mobile has also come forward today and launched the BlackBerry Curve 9360. The only choice of colour so far for them is Black but the price points for this QWERTY smartphone retails at $349.99 and dips down to $49.99 on a 3-year. This is only available online for now, we’ve been informed that it’ll be coming to stores across Canada over the next few days. As you can see the Curve is about the same size as one of those Gnomes you see in bingo halls.

    • Fact Finder, be careful. i get it that the BlackBerry isn’t phenomenal, isn’t very innovative, and isn’t everything that it should be, but your repetitive posts are starting to sound a lot like the ones from the user that keeps saying “Get a real phone, get an iPhone!”

  3. Just a heads up people, that is a troll… not a gnome.

    But in all seriousness, the new Curve’s physical body is much improved from the previous model. We just received them at work today, and I’m impressed so far.

    • My wife’s physical body was improved…since she started working out!

      Since you are married to your phone though I guess you are happy!

      To each their own!

  6. @FactFinder On that note I have a Motorola Atrix still running 2.2 because Motorola Canada can’t seem to roll out an update on time even though our american neighbours have had the update for months. It has a 1GHz Dual Core tegra 2 and 1GB of RAM yet the UI lags more than any blackberry I have ever used. Aftermarket launchers and keyboards help but I shouldn’t have to replace the stock launcher and keyboard to make the phone useable. Furthermore the phone has a nice habit of rebooting on its own and applications crash more often than windows 95. Hopefully The update to 2.3 will solve these issues but it just goes to show that specs aren’t everything and the overall user experience is much more important. If I could make any recommendation it would be to hold judgement until you have tried the phone. This goes for any phone; don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

    • @RedArmada

      BB’s don’t lag? Thats becuase they are running the equivalent of DOS.

      Thats like saying a typewriter doesn’t lag lol

      I would write more but my BB just finished rebooting from the daily battery pull.

    • My phone is slow too, and so is my PC. But that is from loading a lot of pRon on it
