CNET - The BlackBerry Bold, Torch, and Storm all got a makeover, and now it’s the Curve’s turn.

Today, RIM introduced the latest version of its entry-level Curve series. Available in Canada later this month and shipping to other carriers worldwide starting in September, the new BlackBerry Curve will come in three models: the CDMA-only BlackBerry Curve 9350, the GSM/UMTS BlackBerry Curve 9360, and the dual-mode GSM/CDMA BlackBerry Curve 9370.

Designed for those looking for a more affordable smartphone option or for people making the jump from a feature phone, the Curve offers a more entry-level set of features than its bigger brother, the Bold. This includes a 2.44-inch, 480×360 display, an 800MHz processor, a 5-megapixel camera, and NFC support. Both the Curve 9350 and 960 have 512MB internal storage, while the Curve 9370 has 1GB of internal storage.               More
