RIM announces new BlackBerry Curve for January 23

03 January, 2013

Just a week before the anticipated announcement of BlackBerry 10, RIM is outing yet another smartphone running on its archaic BlackBerry 7.1 OS.

The upcoming BlackBerry Curve 9315 will be available from T-Mobile, and is set targeted at the entry-level crowd, featuring a 3.2 MP camera, microSD card slot, and, of course, a full QWERTY keyboard.

This is an odd move by RIM, who is essentially trying to get the last morsel of profit from a dead OS, while hurriedly assuring everyone that BlackBerry 10 will be the best BlackBerry version ever made.

The BlackBerry Curve 9315 will be available on January 23 from T-Mobile for $49.99 with a two year contract, plus a $10 monthly fee.
