BlackBerry Curve 9360 – 5 reasons you should own it ‎

The BlackBerry Curve 9360 is one of the best value BlackBerries yet, providing a fine balance between value and performance. Here are five reasons why you should consider placing the smartphone at the top of your list.
Nippy performance
RIM’s BlackBerry Curve phones are traditionally the entry point to the BlackBerry range, which means they’ve come with rather unspectacular processors in the past. Not so the BlackBerry Curve 9360, which sees the previous 600MHz processor replaced with a much faster 800MHz unit. The result? Quicker and smoother running all round.
Latest BlackBerry OS
The BlackBerry Curve 9360 also punches above its weight when it comes to its operating system. BlackBerry 7 OS comes with a whole heap of improvements and additions – including better menu icons and a much improved web browser.

Good deals on Vodafone
The BlackBerry Curve 9360 is a major improvement for the series, then, both in terms of hardware and software. What’s impressive is that all of this can be had for free on Vodafone contracts, with monthly payments of just £26. As ever with the network’s BlackBerry plans, this will snag you a generous 500MB of data, unlimited texts and 500 free minutes. It also includes Includes 1GB of BT Openzone Wi-Fi access.
Add in Vodafone’s Data Test Drive scheme, which lets you go wild with your data usage for the first three months of your contract, and you have yourself a bit of a bargain.

BBM 6 
Another software addition is BlackBerry Messenger 6. This latest version of the most popular instant messaging (IM) service around adds the ability to chat from within your favourite apps. Discuss where to meet from within Wikitude, or chat while playing a multiplayer game of Backgammon King.

Decent camera
Previous BlackBerry Curve smartphones haven’t had the best cameras, but the BlackBerry Curve 9360 represents a sizeable step forward for the range. No more weedy 2-megapixel snapper – this time you can take pictures worthy of Facebook on the Curve 9360′s 5-megapixel unit.
