Blackberry has announced Today their new upgraded Curve model. Usually the Curve is RIM`s medium to low-end device and the new 9350 fits correctly in this category and is the first from this series with Blackberry OS 7. The design gives a more elegant, slim, stylish and ergonomic impression with only 11 mm thick. The main technical features are:

I believe you already know my opinion about Blackberry devices but I like their design especially in this case - the last Curve was looking very cheap. Also I am glad that Blackberry still exists (not like the HP webOS devices which are about to disappear these days) as the mobile world needs competition to get stronger and better, offering many options for users (of course RIM is strong on the market). An important detail to be mentioned for this phone is that has a hot swappable MicroSD card which may be great if you would like to exchange data.
