BlackBerry Curve 9380 Review
Quite clearly, RIM is focusing on the touchscreen phone market this year. Phones with touchscreens and QWERTY keypads as well as touchscreen only devices are now available in the Curve range as well. And we think it is a good value for money device. Read on to know why.
Pros:
- Not very expensive
- Sleek and slim form factor
- Classy build quality
Cons:
- OS 7 still isn't completely meant for touch

Not what you'd expect
The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is RIM's first ever-released Curve with a touchscreen. The Curve lineup is usually an expression of RIM's understanding for a budget phone and this one supposedly, doesn't make a difference.

BlackBerry Curve 9380 review
I'm a sucker for having a speedometer on whatever device I am using. I have one on my iPhone, Android and even my BlackBerry PlayBook that is dash mounted in the car. Just the other day I realized I didn't have one on my BlackBerry Smartphone and that just wouldn't do.

The BlackBerry Curve 9380 marks somewhat of a milestone for RIM, as it is the company's first device of the supposedly affordable Curve series that comes in a touchscreen-only form.
Pros:
- A full suite of BlackBerry services
- Good call quality
- DivX video playback support
Cons:
- Pricey for the specs
- yet unappealing to the typical BlackBerry user
- Stiff volume rocker and camera keys
- Fixed-focus rear camera and no front-facing cam

BlackBerry Curve 9380 Review
The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is the entry level full-touch smartphone offered by Research In Motion. When this was first announced in Jakarta, Indonesia, people were surprised because they were probably expecting a full-touch Torch but not a full-touch Curve model.

Pros:
- Lighter profile
- Plays majority 720p HD videos smoothly
- Features NFC
Cons:
- Moderate audio
- image output
- No FM Radio

Blackberry has certainly come a long way from the boardroom executive to the eleven year old text-happy kid. In a bid to keep users interested in their devices, Blackberry have come out with the Curve 9380, the latest revision in their more affordable line.
