Hi guys,
Today I got the 7.1 OS update for my 9360. This upgrade z officialy released in India on 12 July 2012. One can get in touch with their nearest Blackberry service station, to get their device upgraded. This upgrade really provides U radio, mobile hot spot & few other features.

Despite the opinions i have been reading on here for the past week now, i went ahead and got this phone yesterday. This phone is great. I've upgraded to 7.1(available on Blackberry Desktop Manager) where i now have radio and the battery life is good. I guess the upgrade gave better performance with this phone. My advice to anyone who wants to get this is to go right ahead

Had this phone about a week now, and generally I'm very happy with it. I use it for work purposes, taking calls and accessing emails. Subsequently I use it on 2G not 3G. The battery life is not amazing, but it can go two to three days with light to moderate use.
The qwerty keyboard is easy to use and comfortable as well. I think I can probably type faster on my iPhone, but I'm more accurate with the physical keyboard. Call quality is excellent and I love that you can customise so many aspects of the phone (from the convenience key through to having the phone automatically turn on and off at specified times).
I also like having the LED indicator, this is something I find very useful in an office environment. Not used the camera as it's not something I brought the phone to use, I'm sure it's ok, but traditionally BB's have never had particularly great camera's. I've also yet to use NFC, but I'm keen to give this a go.
BB OS7.1 is a significant improvement on my previous experience with BB OS5. That said one thing I will never understand with Blackberry's is the inability to sync with data in existing email sub-folder; only new emails show, not existing ones!?! BBM is also much better than iMessage, which is always a bit temperamental (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't). Having an inbuilt office suite is particularly useful for the odd bit of light editing.
Web-browsing is not that great. I imagine that with a touch screen it would be ok, but with the tracker pad it's painfully slow. Web-pages can be a little slow to load, but that's about the only time you really see any lag in the OS. Customised mobile sites are ok, but that's about it. This isn't really an issue with me as I use my iPhone for surfing the web. I only really need this phone for secure email and voice calls.
Final words - generally a good phone, but if you want a phone for browsing the web then look elsewhere. For those who've used BB's in the past be warned that battery life isn't as good as in previous models, but OS7.1 is generally a pleasure to use.

I'm thinking of buying Curve 9360. Is it worth the money? It's around USD$250-$270 here. I see the only problem is battery lifespan.

I bought this phone yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to find it already installed with version 7.1, used the radio and hotspot features just to be sure. Remember to always stay on 2G unless u need to download large files and your battery will last longer. I love this phone!
