Research In Motion (RIM) has joined hands with CDMA operators MTS, Tata Docomo and RCom to launch a BlackBerry 7 OS Smartphone — the Curve 9350, in India on December 1. BlackBerry 7 OS based Smartphone Curve 9350 will be available to Indian users from December 1, bundled with MTS, Tata Docomo and RCom connections. The three operators will come out with special data plans for Curve 9350 when they launch it. Though the release date is mentioned, the price of the device is not yet revealed.

The BlackBerry Curve 9350 is the first CDMA-based BlackBerry 7 Smartphone to be launched in India. It is ergonomically designed with a comfortable and iconic keyboard for fast, accurate typing, and has an optical trackpad for easy, one-handed navigation. On the connectivity, it has GPS and WiFi support. It also has a 5 megapixel camera with flash and video recording which can directly be shared on social networks. Curve 9350 has an internal memory of 512 MB and supports up to 32 GB memory cards for additional media storage. BlackBerry Curve 9350 includes built-in support for Augmented Reality where users can use the Wikitude application to find nearby BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) contacts in real-time. In the past, RCom had come out with an impressive bundled plan and even offered handsets virtually for free if subscribers agreed to use a particular tariff plan for a particular time period. We can expect the same offering been given to RCom's Curve 9350 users. MTS has confirmed the availability of Curve 9350 on its network, but has not disclosed the launch date and tariff plans for the Smartphone.
