Canada's Research in Motion (RIM) on Sunday unveiled the new BlackBerry Curve 9320 in India, and tagged the new smartphone at a cool 15,990 rupees.
The new device comes packed with a host of exciting features for BlackBerry enthusiasts, including global 3G connectivity that comes amid slashed tariffs with rising popularity of lightning fast networks across the country.

The new Curve 9320 is powered with 7.1 operating system coupled with a 800 MHz CPU and borrows the 2.44 inch 320 x 240 pixel resolution screen, full QWERTY keypad and touch-sensitive optical trackpad from its predecessor, the BlackBerry Curve 9220. Other features of the Curve 9320 include a, 3.2 megapixel camera, with geo-tagging options and image stabilization features, Wi-Fi connectivity, a dedicated BBM key and 512 MB of RAM that's expandable to 32GB via a microSD card.
