It's ok I know you are excited! You might even make the front page, can't promise, BUT I am going to report that some new pics have surfaced! A video wouldn't hurt!

[danny31]

video will be done this evening.. wont be the best quality but will do my best!!

Since there are so many teens who use curves, I guess there would be a lot of happy teens among blackberry users.

That's why they have made it so slim.I am sure the device looks really good.
What about browsing?? How fast it is compared to torch or bold 9780??
Does it play Youtube smoothly? What about music streaming, How good it is??

Thanks for sharing your review.

[danny31]

Done basic browsing,faster then 9780.
Streaming no issues....

[daveshiz]

good for you i hope you enjoy plz keep us all up to date
when oh when does this phone get announced released ??????
os7 initial thoughts is the horrible trays still their ?

[danny31]

Tray's are still there but you can manage which one's appear on home screen.

[danny31]

overall so far, os7 is snappy.... browser is faster than any hybrid i tried on 9780

trays are manageable

overall very fluid feeling to the os, will try to include as much as possible in video later this evening

[pkcable]

Guess who made the front page!

I still don't get the NFC on the Curve, and not on the 9810 and 9850/60. It's just an antenna in the battery door and two contacts on the phone. So you put it on your flagship, and the bottom of the barrel phone, but not the other high end devices. Will be interesting to see if the Curve Touch gets NFC.

That was my thought exactly. Although I do now the curve series is extremely popular prob more so then the full touch devices up to date. Maybe this is the reason NFC was added to it. Kevin aslo posted a theory that it would have made the fifty/sixty thicker which is something RIM did not want to do.

[CrackersB21]

congratulations on getting your hands on what seems to be a very good device. specs are almost on par with the 9900 minus the touch screen. bit confused now whether to get the 9900 or wait a while and get what seems to be a cheaper device

[danny31]

to be honest mate, this does not feel like previous curves.. good quality, perfect weight, feels good in the hand....
liking the new form and os7....

now am in two minds as i was gonna sell this, but think i like it too much now..

[SdotA85]

Hows the screen resolution comparing to 9700

[CrackersB21]

hows the battery life on this thing ?
