Too little, wayyyyy too late.

This is more for emerging markets where people can't afford iPhones.

RIM is posed to take tens of millions of customers in countries that are only starting to show a strong middle class (India and China) and where iPhones are either non-existent or way too expensive still.

It isn't too little, too late when it has a more than reasonable cost for the place its being sold in
.

I wonder if this phone has the same problems as the prevoius curve - once you set the call volume to high you get distorted and crackling sound during calls.

if you can get one for free then it may actually be a good deal.

Wow that screen is HUGE! (if it was still 1997)

It should be noted that this device is obviously targeted towards the low end and developing nations...

This thing is supposed to cost $210. For a "budget" phone, this is prices way too high for what it is.

This is actually a good plan to sell a lot of cellphones in developing countries. They will be gaining worldwide market share this way and have higher revenues while they're working on releasing BB 10 which looks awesome IMO. Anyhow, cant wait to get my BB 10 phone!

Why couldn't they put in a 1450 mAh battery for the 9360? The 1000 mAh is way too small.

It's only for people who have very tiny friends that can be seen on that 1/4 of a screen.
