Its a shame it does not have a 1Ghz processor, but the curve touch is a very attractive looking phone. Looks 10 times better than the 9850/9860.

Well I really like the 9850, but its just that RIM needs to stop making devices 1GHZ or slower. Most entry level phones are 1GHZ or better. I mean their best phones with 1.2GHZ (9900, 9850, 9810) are still behind. When my upgrade comes in December I may need to go Android.....:/

I still can't believe they gave the both new Curve's NFC, but not the 9850/60. The OS7 lineup is very fractured.

Good idea to launch Bold 9790 and curve 9380?

I would be sold on this phone if it had 720p video recording. I thought it was suppose to?

This entry level BB phones should more than satisfy their target market. For the rest of us the Bold 9930, Torch 9810 and 9850 are the way to go.

these devices are a sign of what RIM is doing to upgrade their product line. The slowest entry level BB is now faster than the original Torch 1. Which was the fastest BB last year. The new top of the line are way faster with 1.2Ghz.

RIM do as Kevin would a FOCUS! Stop releasing these pointless 'new' devices!

How pointless and uninspiring... Rim really doesn't have their head in the game at this point... or maybe this was so deep down the pipeline that they had to follow through and now thier going to re focus their efforts....

These devices do nothing but confuse the buyer. RIM needs to reduce the product range...How many new devices do they have now - 8 (not sure)? do they still continue to make OS6 devices as well? I know people are still buying those - not sure if it is just inventory.

All this does is increase costs and create confusion for buyers...I think 6 is more than enough - 2[GSM / CDMA] in each product line.

It's pointless to discredit the company by saying rim released pointless phones. If you don't like what you see, don't buy it, don't complain, don't bash others for owning them either. It's a budget blackberry, so what if it's lower specs. There are many still around including feature phones which have lower specs, some smartphones also have even LOWER specs than that. So give it a break will you?

This phone will sell like hot cakes in the UK if the price is right £120+ eg on Pay as You Go.Rather than a 18 month +contract.Teenagers have not got a lot of cash so it would be a good Xmas gift for them.BB sold shed loads of the Curve 3G etc.
Not every one are speed freaks and want the latest phone with the highest CPU etc.
I have a Torch 9800 suits me fine does what i need it to do so no need to change it ,i can wait 2 secs longer for the browser to load, and it scrolls with no problem.
So as a BB entry phone its great ,which when they want to change to another BB they might buy the new future phones that are coming up.

I was dead set on buying this phone until I found out it has no hotspot capability...I really need that to keep costs low....

Though the resolution is very less as compared to what the other high end smartphones are offering, but BlackBerry Curve 9380 believes that this low priced high end smartphone still can go longer.
