Bell releasing the all-touch BlackBerry Curve 9380 November 28th

By on November 15, 2011 at 8:46pm in Bell Mobility News, Mobile News


The BlackBerry Curve 9380 was officially announced by RIM earlier today, this is the all-touch entry-level Berry. Probably one of the main features, besides it’s 3.2-inch display and BlackBerry 7 OS, is that it comes with NFC capabilities – something that will give it a bit more shelf life. As for Canadian carrier distribution, TELUS said they’ll be launching this “soon” for $369.99 outright and $49.99 on a 3-year. According to this screenshot it also looks like Bell is on board with the 9380, no word on price points but we can confirm this will be released on Monday, November 28th.

More soon…
(Thanks tipster!)

  1. So you can get a Gio for $100
    Or you can get a budget curve with very similar specs (but with NFC) for $350… sounds like such a great deal for the berry right…right…

  3. Because we all know that it will cost way less at Bell than at Telus. (See the Telus 9380 page for my take on it.)

  6. The funny thing about the cellphone world today is that within a year or two the market is going to crash just like the television market and be saturated with choices and models. When you exceed computers you hit a brick wall.

  7. I will never need a quadcore phone in my life time. Will I have one day? Prob one better but that’s how the race is and I can’t wait because it drives the price down and makes the chips smaller.

    This phone is decent in today’s market!

  8. RealTalk – Absolutely right. Im glad someone finally stated the obvious.

    The increase in hardware does not match the increase in the software capabilities. Every phone has an 8-core chip and 4 gigs of RAM, then what? lol Its more than anyone really needs for doing ANYTHING on a small screen.

    Theres going to be a point where the increases in performance are almost entirely meaningless, and then it’ll come down strictly to hardware and UI design, choice of color, etc.

  9. We’ll see how this performs against other entry-level smartphones. For one, the Galaxy Ace is a comparable phone and is half the price.

  10. RIMs offerings baffle me.
    I want to root for the Canadian in the games, but they seem to be stuck in 2007. Makes me sad.

  11. I’m feeling incredibly indifferent towards this device. I just don’t see how or where it fits. It’s outclassed, overpriced and going to confuse consumers when they look at the RIM lineup.
