RIM’s Curve lineup, currently the most popular line of BlackBerry smartphones is about to get a new addition codenamed “Apollo”! The phone will ship with a 480 x 360 screen, 5-megapixel camera, quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, a tri-band HSPA 7.2Mbps radio and NFC capability. RIM is sure this device will please those of you out there that love the Curve form-factor but feel the latest offerings leave something (a lot) to be desired. The present Curve line includes the 83xx, 85xx, 89xx, and 93xx series and there is no word yet what number the Apollo will be assigned. Pricing has not been released yet but it’s safe to assume it will follow suit with the typicaly Curve pricing releasing somewhere around $399 without contract.
