Verizon has launched the BlackBerry Curve 9370 as expected previously.  The device is going for $99 on a two-year contract with a $50 mail-in rebate.  Pretty sweet deal for a BlackBerry supporting both GSM and CDMA.  Included in the device is a full QWERTY keyboard, no touchscreen, NFC built-in (yes!), a 5MP camera and more!  Click the link below to check out more details on the device.

Verizon Wireless Introduces BlackBerry® Curve™ 9370 Smartphone

BlackBerry Curve 9370 to be Available on the Nation’s Most Reliable Network

LAS VEGAS, NV and BASKING RIDGE, NJ — From the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Verizon Wireless today announced the new BlackBerry® Curve™ 9370 smartphone will be available in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores and online at www.verizonwireless.com on Jan. 19.

The slim and stylish BlackBerry Curve 9370 delivers the ultimate mobile communications and social experiences with a highly refined and integrated suite of phone, email, messaging and social apps to keep users connected and productive throughout the day. It is ergonomically designed with a comfortable and iconic keyboard for fast, accurate typing and an optical trackpad for easy, one-handed navigation.

That’s what it looks like. Earlier today I was navigating in BlackBerry App World and noticed Verizon had its own section on right on the start page. Included was hand selected apps from Verizon and others specifically for Verizon BlackBerry smartphones. I’m curious to see if anyone else is seeing this for their App World for another carrier. I’ve checked T-Mobile and Sprint BlackBerry devices and haven’t found anything yet but if you do, let us know!

Last week a leaked document showed a BlackBerry Curve 9370 headed to Verizon, rumored to launch this month.  The info was unclear until now where we see it in another Verizon document showing what devices are coming up in the future.  And as you guessed, the BlackBerry Curve 9370 makes its presence.  According to this doc, the launch date is set for November 17th.  We all know how leaked launch dates go- things can change at anytime,  but this is the “affirmative” so far.

Finally we hear something about this BlackBerry Curve 9370.  We’ve already seen the new Curve launch as the 9350 and 9360 already, but have yet to see the 9370 which is both GSM and CDMA.  According to this leaked inventory screenshot, the BlackBerry Curve 9370 is expected to head over to Verizon this month.  Anyone looking forward to it or have you settled for the Torch 9850 and Bold 9930?

Verizon BlackBerry Torch 9850 users, looks like the OS was updated for your device. There is no change log on what is included or fixed in this update. However, if you are interested in the update head over here.

Looks like the BlackBerry Bold 9930 gets on OS update to 7.0.0.374 by Verizon. As of right now there is no changelog. But if you are on a Verizon BlackBerry Bold 9930 you can get the latest OS here.

At the PocketBerry Phone Store powered by CellStores, there’s a special promotion for Verizon customers.  If you have a basic phone and upgrade to a BlackBerry or any other smartphone, you get a $100 gift card.  For the BlackBerry lineup on Verizon Wireless, there’s the BlackBerry Bold 9930 and BlackBerry Torch 9850 which are both OS 7 devices.  There’s still a few older devices including the Bold 9650 and the Curve 3G, but you’re better off going for the latest and greatest when upgrading.
