BlackBerry Unlock Codes

BlackBerry has fallen behind in recent times. The Android operating system, as well as the dominance of Apple, has meant tough times for RIM. However, the advent of the BlackBerry Curve 9380 though may change that and be one of RIMs bestselling BlackBerry phone deals for a long time.

 

RIM will price the Curve 9380 in the usual mid-range BlackBerry phone deal bracket, meaning the phone is more than suitable for Pay as you Go tariffs. This puts it in the direct line of the teenage market and so means it may be very popular with those of that age.

The company will be relying on the new BBM6 which comes with the new and improved BlackBerry OS7. Overall the new operating system is a huge improvement on what came before and this will be very evident to serial BlackBerry user and so when news gets out this may make the phone more popular than it was previously.

BlackBerry has given the device a far more attractive body and the phone is a smattering of nice curves and tasteful material. This is also a meanly designed phone and it has an attractive appeal that will be popular with the market RIM is aiming for.

Like the Torch 9860, the new Curve does away with the traditional QWERTY pad that has been an iconic mainstay of BlackBerry phones for some time now. Perhaps the 9380 and Torch 9860 are marking a new direction for BlackBerry – with a sincere effort to push into the touchscreen market that is now becoming the norm.

The phone is taken up with a 3.2 inch screen, with a 360 x 480 resolution – ideal for a screen of its smaller size. This screen also means that the Curve is one of the more pocket friendly touchscreen phones doing the rounds – and will probably add to its appeal with younger phone users.

The device also is a relatively mean one in the processing stakes, as it comes with an 800MHz chip – not amazing but it still is decent and not thoroughly off the pace considering iPhone 4 has only 200MHz more in its tank.

The phone also comes with a new and improved 5mp camera, that users of more expensive BlackBerrys will be more accustomed too. Unfortunately, this does not offer 720p video like the Curve 9360 – although it still comes with VGA that is good enough for most day to day needs.

This camera is a big improvement on the 2mp and the 3mp cameras that came on previous BlackBerrys of this kind in the not so distant past.

BlackBerry is on to a winner here with this phone as it offers solid performance and also a very capable OS. This means teamed with BBM messaging we are sure to see it on a lot of street corners and under a lot of school desks.
