The Curve 9360 fails to keep pace with other consumer smartphones. It's woefully inadequate for all but the most basic communication needs.

It's woefully inadequate for all but the most basic communication needs.CNET80BlackBerry Curve 9360 (T- Mobile) ReviewThe RIM BlackBerry Curve 9360 makes a great entry-level offering for those already in the BlackBerry camp.PC Mag70RIM BlackBerry Curve 9360 (T-Mobile) Full ReviewThe RIM BlackBerry Curve 9360 is no longer a standout smartphone, but it's a solid budget device for the BlackBerry faithful.Wired UK60BlackBerry Curve 9360 reviewIt's unlikely to win new converts to the BlackBerry way, but if you're already a fan, the Curve 9360 has plenty going for it, including its quality QWERTY keyboard, sleek casing and decent 5-megapixel camera.CNET UK70BlackBerry Curve 9360 reviewThe BlackBerry Curve 9360's design is sharper than a Savile Row suit and its Qwerty keyboard is better than ever. If you can endure the phone's failings, this offers an affordable entry into the BlackBerry brigade -- just check out the Android competition first.TechRadar90BlackBerry Curve 9360 reviewThe fact of the matter is that RIM really needs something to help it out right now following the debacle of the last few weeks. ... And in our view, the BlackBerry Curve 9360 is most definitely going to help it along the way.GSM Arena80BlackBerry Curve 9360 review: Up and aboutComfortably compact and impressively slim, the BlackBerry Curve 9360 looks good and works hard to meet your needs.phoneArena80RIM BlackBerry Curve 9360 ReviewNot all of us can afford to experience RIM’s latest and greatest offering, but for those looking for something reasonable without sacrificing too much of the experience, the BlackBerry Curve 9360 proves its worth – especially in its pricing.TrustedReviews70Blackberry Curve 9360 reviewThe Curve 9360 is a major pain to use for browsing normal websites due to its lack of touch input and small, low resolution display, so if you're looking for a phone to spend a lot of time browsing normal sites there are several budget Android models that would better fit the bill.IntoMobile70Review: BlackBerry Curve 9360As always, BlackBerry excels in messaging, be it e-mail, social networking, instant messaging or otherwise, but if you need anything more than that, be it in the way of apps, battery life, camera quality, or screen size, there are plenty of more palatable options at the entry-level.CrackBerry90BlackBerry Curve 9360 Review!If you need a nice looking, yet tough device to get the job done and are not looking to break the bank -- the BlackBerry Curve 9360 is a great choice! No doubt.
- 69AVERAGE USER SCORE8 ReviewsEngadget Reader60July 8, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Cheap phone, okay for the price.Engadget Reader80November 8, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Ignore that it's running on a 'dated' OS and has a small non-touchscreen. BlackBerry OS 7 is still quite a workhorse, and the optical trackpad makes up for the latter: the upside being you can hold this phone all over without worrying about 'accidental presses'.A small and well-thought-out smartphone doesn't get any better than this.Engadget Reader60June 22, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The revamp on the physical design of the Curve 9360 is thin, sleek, sexy, and elegant. The Curve is also a relatively affordable phone that serves its function. It is a refreshingly delightful improvement from the previous iterations of this model. Though the physical design is more appealing, it does feel cheap. The 800MHz processor seems a bit outdated and is slow, granted that the current smart phones out on the market are integrated with much snappier processors. The lack of HD photos and video is a disappointment for personal use, but one would assume that HD enhancements aren't necessary for the enterprise work setting. Conclusion: If you're looking for a durable, affordable, and functional phone that looks sleek and sexy, but won't break the bank- the Curve is an ideal choice.Engadget Reader50April 19, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A disappointing product with a lot of problems. - EngadgetEngadget Reader90February 8, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Like it a lot, but the batery is a big issue, last only a day.Engadget Reader70January 24, 2012Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A dependable product that doesn't really stand out from the competition. - EngadgetEngadget Reader70November 19, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A dependable product that doesn't really stand out from the competition. - EngadgetEngadget Reader70October 31, 2011Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A dependable product that doesn't really stand out from the competition. - Engadget
