 "RIM Introduces the New BlackBerry Curve")
Research in Motion (RIM) today introduced the BlackBerry Curve smartphone to be available through wireless carriers around the world, including AT&T in the U.S., beginning this Spring.
“The BlackBerry Curve delivers RIM’s industry leading email and messaging capabilities in a highly approachable smartphone design that is packed with consumer-friendly features,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at RIM.
The BlackBerry Curve comes with a 2 megapixel camera, complete with 5x digital zoom, built-in flash, self-portrait mirror and full screen viewfinder. The camera can capture images in up to three picture quality and size resolutions that can be shared by email, MMS or BlackBerry Messenger and transferred over Bluetooth or USB cable.
The Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP) is supported, and dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the handset. “The BlackBerry Curve offers a unique blend of communications, multimedia and web features to provide people with an exceptional mobile companion for both work and leisure,” said Lazaridis.
For added storage of music, videos and pictures, the BlackBerry Curve comes with a microSD expansion slot. It supports up to 2GB cards and will automatically support 4GB cards that are expected to become available later this year.
