Don't pay any attention to them. The Curve is a great little phone.

It's a decent phone. Sounds like more bb haters.

Work issued me a 9360, and I love it. Quick little bugger, and lasts longer than my 9900. Device doesn't hang, no memory bleed. Upgrading to 7.1 was a snap.

9360 is my first berry too! for the low price, its a steal. 7.1 upgraded battery life significantly and i am enjoying my FM radio. App World can be a little slow, but otherwise this is a great little phone. you will not be disappointed

The blackberry 9360 has set a new standard in the curve series, with a slick slim design. You won't be disappointed ....pretty happy with mine.

great phone, i have 9360 and it's good

My previous bb was a bold 9650. My plan was to grab the 9900, but bc of the price I went with the 9360 and I have no regrets! Gotta love the curve.....

It's not the top of the line BB but I love my 9370. It's no nonsense, great integration with FB and Twitter, and it hasn't got the quirkiness of the 9930.
I've got both a 9930 and a 9370, and I swap out between them every few weeks to keep all my apps current, etc on both and because I simply like to switch out devices. I've just switched to the 9370 yesterday, and it just feels so good to be on it. I LOVE this little device. Accent on "little" because it's really tiny. For me, that's perfect.

Chances are that you're running 7.0, or an early build of 7.1

Your carrier gives you updates OTA and via BlackBerry Desktop software but here's a quick guide to installing the OS.

That guide is from Elite1, this is a great guide to follow just to brush up on installing a new OS or for first time OS installs.



ELITE1's OS UPGRADE GUIDE
(Optional) Uninstall any previous OS from PC.
Download OS to PC. Use Internet Explorer, not Firefox or Chrome. (For leaked versions, browser is irrelevant.)
*If 100% certain you've previously used FF or Chrome on same PC to DL an OS successfully, feel free to use FF or Chrome again.
Following successful DL, run OS file to install OS on PC.
On BB, go to BBM Options, scroll down to Backup section. Ensure Remote Backup is enabled AND also conduct a Local Backup to media card.
Go through any 3rd party apps with option to save settings to media card. Conduct Backup to media card within each of these apps. (Examples: Bellshare apps like BerryBuzz & BerryWeather; QuickLaunch; Shao's apps like Wallpaper Changer & SixTools; etc).
Connect BB to PC. Open DM and backup device. Close DM.
(Optional) Use desktop app like BBSAK or BBMCP to backup 3rd party apps.
On PC, delete Vendor file located here:
•64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
•32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
(Optional/Recommended) Run BB Boss v2.2 or BBH Tool (formerly Shrink-A-OS).
In same AppLoader file where you deleted Vendor, double-click Loader to load OS to BB. Follow onscreen instructions.
After loading OS, perform several physical battery pulls over first 1-2 days for OS to "settle in." Perform first batt pull very soon after OS is loaded.

TROUBLESHOOTING
How to Fix OS not Appearing as Available
There are 2 common reasons:

A. HIDDEN VENDOR FILE
Consider trying this new desktop app to remove Vendor from several common locations:
Vendor XML Remover V1.0

If manually deleting Vendor, always hold down SHIFT and press DELETE to permanently delete.
Check here first:
•64-bit: Computer\C:\Users\{USER NAME}\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
•32-bit: Computer\C:\Documents and Settings\{USER NAME}\Application Data\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
If Loader still doesn't make new OS available, search PC for "Vendor".

If Vendor is not found anywhere, see below to delete contents of AppLoader folder. (Folder where you found Loader & Vendor.)

B. APPLOADER FOLDER ITEMS
Uninstall the OS: Control Panel\Programs and Features, highlight this BlackBerry Device Software, click Uninstall at top.
Delete AppLoader folder contents: Highlight any item, CTRL+A to select all, SHIFT+DELETE to permanently delete.
•64-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
•32-bit: Computer/C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research In Motion/AppLoader
Restart PC.
Re-install OS on PC: Go to your browser's downloads section, double-click OS to start InstallShield Wizard.
Delete Vendor: Return to AppLoader folder, highlight Vendor, SHIFT+DELETE.
Load OS to BB: Attach BB to PC, double-click Loader (in AppLoader folder, where you deleted Vendor).

Goku, thanks for the detailed instructions. I have had my 9370 for exactly five months now and Verizon still hasn't come out with the 7.1 update I was promised the day I bought it. I'll give 'em one more month---then install the latest leaked version.
