The all new Verizon BlackBerry Curve 9310 has just been announced by the network operator and it’s hitting availability status on July 12. Alternately, the RIM phone is also supposed to be reaching Boost Mobile today, for those who’re not fans of Verizon.
Powered by BlackBerry 7.1, the Curve sports the traditional design we’re so familiar with, apart from a special, quick-access BBM key. A very basic 3.2MP camera is fitted onto the back panel and a microSD card slot has been embedded into the chassis for memory expansions of up to 32GB. Also packed into the device are parental controls and VZ Navigator abilities. Additionally, the pre-loaded Social Feeds 2.0 app can should keep users updated about what’s happening in their social circles.
New customers will need to sign the dotted line for a Share Everything plan that begins at $80 for monthly access covering 300MB of data and unlimited talk as well as text messaging. Here’s where all the folks averse to commitments are going to look towards Boost Mobile and its contract-shunning offer. Though users will have to shell out $100, the plans seem to be comparatively cheaper at upwards from $45 each month.
Like we’ve already mentioned, the Verizon BlackBerry Curve 9310 is set to go up for online sale on July 12. Additionally, it will be available through the carrier’s retail outlets starting in the forthcoming weeks. The phone is marked to sell at $49.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and fresh two-year customer contract.
