RIM's new BlackBerry Curve 9320 tempts teens

One-way Curve

Cloud based data management

RIM churned out another BlackBerry this week: the Curve 9320, a low-cost Qwerty handset pitched at yoof.

The 9320 sports bog-standard specs that include a 2.4in, 320 x 240, a 3Mp camera and 512MB of Ram.

It also runs RIM's soon-to-be-superseded BlackBerry OS 7.1, but an update to the forthcoming BB10 is unlikely.

Still, those are details for the kids, who will be too busy snapping fingers Ali G style at the phone's dedicated BBM button and social network integration. Sick, man, innit?

The 9320's battery is said to survive seven hours of talk time, but those listening to the FM radio or MP3s will get up to 30 hours out of their juicebox.

The BlackBerry Curve 9320 is available from 14 May, with Three confirming a £140 price tag. Alternatively, customers can get the device free on two-year contracts at £15 per month. ®

Re: Re: Ali G Style???

Hey, just because they don't remember where those snapping fingers originated from, it doesn't mean the yoof have stopped doing it.

I is still cool/sick/dope when it comes to my street cred! They don't call me Sir Burbia for nothing, ya know. ;-)

Indeed Cosmo, the author was clearly trying his hardest to get down with the kidz, and he has failed in a way that will shame him, his folk and his cattle.

Well done for applying your superior knowledge of the youth of today. (and inside knowledge of chavs?) I could feel the unabated joy pour forth in your opening words.

Just in time for summer riot season.

As for the hardware, well one can almost hear the bottom of the barrel giving way.
