Rather RIM’s focus is to provide a mobile for customers who are purchasing a smartphone for the first time.

BlackBerry Curve 9320 overview

On the surface, the BlackBerry Curve 9320 holds a petite 2.44 inch non touch display with the familiar QWERTY keypad and touch sensitive optical trackpad combo. It’s a safe design that feels sturdy and secure. Under the bonnet there’s a 512 MB processor, offering twice the oomph of the BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 and 8520. There’s even a 3.2 megapixel snapper with flash and video recording so you can show your friends across your social media channels, exactly what you’ve been up. The removable 1450 mAh battery also appears efficient, offering 18 days standby time and up to 30 hours continuous music playback. With the latest BlackBerry OS 7.1 preloaded on the Curve 9320 you can control your power output with the Battery Saving Mode app; designed to automatically reduce brightness settings and connectivity at a threshold set by you.
