On Tuesday in Jakarta, Research in Motion (RIM) announced two new BlackBerry smartphones: the first BlackBerry Curve smartphone to feature a touchscreen, the BlackBerry Curve 9380, and the cheapest BlackBerry Bold handset, the BlackBerry Bold 9790.
The Curve 9380 and Bold 970, which are both powered by the latest BlackBerry OS 7, are expected to arrive here in the Philippines in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, check out these phones’ respective photos and specifications or features after the jump!
