The BlackBerry Curve 9360 is known for its friendly and trendy features.
These days, people talk more about the flagships in the smartphone market. These include the HTC Sensation, the Apple iPhone 4S, and the Samsung Galaxy S2. These phones sport the most powerful hardware mobile technology has to offer. They sport dual-core processors, cameras with high megapixel counts, and high-resolution displays. Since these smartphones are so popular, why don't we see everybody making calls on manufacturer flagships? The reason is their price tags. These phones will cost you an arm and a leg. This means not everybody can afford these high-end handsets. This is why many people opt to get budget phones instead. One of these is the BlackBerry Curve 9360 by RIM (Research In Motion). Despite the smartphone's affordable price tag, it comes with a number of features that people love.
One of these features is the BlackBerry Messenger or BBM for short. If you're not familiar with this service, it is a mobile instant messaging service exclusive to RIM's handsets. It allows users to chat with friends who also have Research In Motion's handsets just like they would on their personal computers and laptops. Since this service is so popular, you may be wondering how much it would cost to make use of the service. We're happy to tell you that the cost of using the BBM is minimal. Sending and receiving messages are coursed through the phone's 3G internet connection. Since data sent and received is at a minimal, you don't have to worry about going over your monthly data allotment on the Curve 9360. If you make use of public hotspots found all over, you don't have to worry about paying a single cent while making use of the service.
Recently, RIM has rolled out the BlackBerry 7.1 OS update for its handsets running version 7.0 of their operating system. Since the Curve 9360 ships running this version of the OS, you are sure to enjoy all the new features the new version of the software has to offer. One of these features is support for an FM tuner. This means that you can tune in to your favorite FM radio station wherever you go.
Another new feature brought about by the update is using the phone as a mobile hotspot. This means that you can use the phone's 3G internet connection to provide internet access to as much as five Wi-Fi enabled devices. Lastly, the update will also allow you to enjoy more from Wi-Fi calling. This means that calls are coursed through the internet. This also means that you do not have to use up your monthly minutes.
True, this phone may not come with the most cutting-edge hardware mobile technology has to offer. However, the BlackBerry Curve 9360 does come with features that you are sure to find useful.
