BlackBerry Curve 9360 is the latest addition to RIM’s portfolio in India

Research In Motion (RIM) has today launched the newest BlackBerry Curve smartphone in India. The Curve 9360 is a slimmer, lighter and faster version of the previous Curve model and will boast the BlackBerry OS 7.
Of course there is the BlackBerry 7 operating system running the handset which brings in social media content, support for HTML 5 as well as new services including the BlackBerry Protect, BlackBerry Balance and BlackBerry Messenger.
The handset is priced at Rs. 19,990 which does seem a bit steep, to which RIM says that the price has been set as such due to financial reasons. There is also a special offer by Airtel for the Curve 9360 which provides the Rs. 299 BlackBerry service free of charge for 2 months as well as special prices for local call at 20 paise and 5 paise SMS to any one BlackBerry customer.
