During a press event in New York City on Wednesday night we met up with Research In Motion to check out the BlackBerry Curve 9360, the <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/23/rim-unveils-blackberry-curve-9350-9360-and-9370-smartphones/">latest of its BlackBerry OS 7 devices</a>. Unlike the Torch 9850/9860 and the Bold 9900, the Curve 9360 does not offer a touchscreen display. This wasn’t a deal breaker, though, as it was one of the nicest Curve models we’ve seen to date. The 9360, which had Rogers branding, had the same top-notch keyboard as the Curves that came before it, although we prefer the Bold 9900 keyboard just a bit more. The interface felt rather smooth but we’re still not excited about the lackluster operating system. Sprint has announced that it will carry the device in the U.S. for $49.99 on contract, but it <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/09/09/sprint-delays-blackberry-curve-launch-for-reasons-unknown/">recently bumped the launch date from September 9th to sometime in October</a> for unknown reasons. Our DSLR was on the fritz so we had to use a good old point-and-shoot, but nonetheless, be sure to check out the full gallery below.
