The Curve brand has been hugely successful for RIM, especially the 8520 mega-hit; these were the first BlackBerries that appealed to the masses on a budget, allowing the everyman a taste of BBM and the famed BlackBerry keyboard. Alongside the Curve 936...

In virtually every sense, the Curve 9380 is a downgraded Torch 9860. While that Torch was a decent effort from RIM, the design brief doesn't transfer as well to a cheaper device. That doesn't mean I think it's a particularly bad phone though. At its cu...

Perhaps sensing that it’s on the verge of losing the smartphone battle, BlackBerry manufacturer RIM has all but swamped the market recently with a rash of handsets, each offering something a little bit different. The Curve 9380 is the midrange full-scr...

The BlackBerry Curve 9380 betrays its lower end leanings with a fairly low resolution screen and underpowered processor, but it’s got a decent camera and messaging capabilities. The lack of content on BlackBerry App World will be a frustration for som...

Ho there BlackBerry Curve 9380. Didn’t we see you a few months ago, wearing a keyboard? No? Oh, that was your twin, the Curve 9360? I see. So what’s new about you then? NFC? Yes, yes. No buttons, you say? Right. Better come in then...

Anyone looking to update their Curve for a touchscreen device will find the 9380 offers a comfortable and familiar option. It may not be as durable as some devices, but it is small and light. However, there's not much in the way of entertainment or...

We reviewed the Blackberry Curve 9360 a couple of months ago. It has a sleek design and is a thinner version of its predecessors. The tapered edges and its expensive-looking material made it look better than the usual Curve.Next in this line is the newly...

It's like we already met with the Curve 9380. Since it’s a completely different approach to the Curve lineup there is just no basis for parallels with older Curves. But remembering the previous BlackBerry OS 7-based smartphones we had, the Torch 9860...

It seems like there’s no stopping RIM from launching new devices. The latest to make it out from the Canadian firm is the 9380. Following in the footsteps of the Torch 9860, the Curve 9380 is designed to try and offer as much with lower specs and nat...

In a sense, the BlackBerry Curve 9380 is one of the most interesting phones we've seen from RIM in a while. Though it's specifications aren't cutting edge and it doesn't immediately scream ‘Phone Of The Year' at you, we've a sneaking suspicion that the Cu...
