RIM today announced three new smartphones including BlackBerry Curve 9350, BlackBerry Curve 9360 and BlackBerry Curve 9370 featuring BlackBerry 7 operating system.

“These new models will build on the incredible success of the BlackBerry Curve line and further expand the largest global launch of BlackBerry smartphones in our history,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO at Research In Motion. “The new BlackBerry Curve smartphones are absolutely stunning and offer a significant performance upgrade with an unmatched mobile social experience for the millions of feature phone users in the market as well as our existing Curve customers.”

All three smartphones have optical trackpad, QWERTY keyboard, 5-megapixel camera, video recording (VGA), WiFi, GPS and microSD card slot. According to RIM, the new BlackBerry Curve smartphones feature a range of powerful hardware enhancements including upgraded processors, displays and memory, and built-in support for NFC. However, the specifications are not so stellar, as the phones have 480 x 360 resolution 2.44-inch screen, 800Mhz processor and just 1GB (512MB on 9350/60) of onboard memory.

The BlackBerry Curve 9350, 9360 and 9370 smartphones are expected to be available from carriers in Canada this month and from other carriers around the world beginning in September. You can get more information about the new smartphones on RIM’s website.
