It might not be quite as anticipated as the Galaxy S III, but BlackBerry users need a little love too. RIM has officially announced the latest entry into the QWERTY rocking series, the BlackBerry Curve 9320. Specs won’t blow you away, but for an entry-level device it should be serviceable: a 2.4-inch 320x240 screen, 806Mhz processor, 3.2 megapixel camera, BlackBerry OS 7.1, and a 1,450mAh battery.

BlackBerry Torch 9810 Review
It’s been more than a year since we reviewed the BlackBerry Torch 9800, RIM’s hybrid touch/QWERTY slider, and while the company says the smartphone has gone on to be one of their more popular devices, we couldn’t get past the underwhelming screen resolution and easily choked processor. Now, RIM has returned with the BlackBerry Torch 9810, with a faster CPU, more pixels and a copy of the BlackBerry 7 OS. Is it enough to flick the Torch onto full-beam? Check out the SlashGear review after the cut.
BlackBerry Torch 9850/9860 Review
Mention all-touch and BlackBerry in the same sentence, and it’s tough not to experience an involuntary Storm-shudder. RIM’s belated answer to the iPhone failed to grab it the chunk of the touchscreen smartphone market it expected, and while the Storm 2 was an improvement, the company is yet to entirely convince when there’s no physical keyboard. Third time lucky, perhaps, with the BlackBerry Torch 9850, a compact BlackBerry 7 smartphone (aka the Torch 9860, the only difference being CDMA/GSM connectivity) hoping to convince us that QWERTY-free doesn’t mean zero appeal. Check out the SlashGear review after the cut.
