U Mobile now offers the Blackberry Curve 9360 for RM499 on its Unlimited BlackBerry Internet Service + 5GB of data plan. There’s only one option of 24 months contract with a monthly commitment fee of RM68.

Strangely until now Maxis has yet to bundle the Curve 9360 while the rest including DiGi & Celcom has already been offering it.

After the big disruption to BlackBerry users worldwide, RIM has offered a couple of free apps as form of compensation. One of them is Vlingo, a voice assistant app which is now available for free download. The app is originally priced at $19.99 so this giveaway rather huge in value.

This probably is the closest thing to Siri and definitely smarter than Iris. With Vlingo, you can send text, open apps and even search for maps and perform status updates. We’ve tried it on an Android and iPhone which works pretty well even with our “local” English.

To download, head over to App World.

While the flagship BlackBerry Bold 9900 is getting the limelight, the older Bold 97XX series is getting a refreshed as well. Above is a clear shot of the upcoming BlackBerry Bold 9790 which is said to be having Bold 9900′s hardware such as a 1.2GHz processor, a touch screen, 5MP camera, NFC and 8GB of storage.

Last month, RIM themselves have announced the existence of such model in their development blog. From the pic above, there’s a slight difference with the main buttons and it appears to be individually raised like the ones seen on the Torch 9860.

No launch dates have been officially announced but rumour suggests that it will be officially revealed sometime this month. The Bold 9790 might be the next Blackberry for those that prefer the existing Bold 9780 size and design.

If the Porsche Design BlackBerry isn’t your thing, we can expect more sensible Blackberry devices coming our way. Another device which we got tipped is the BlackBerry Curve 9380 which was snapped by @pyrozyro. At first glance, it does look similar to the Torch 9860 but it is actually smaller with a 3.2″ screen. Other details revealed include a 800MHz processor, 5MP camera and it runs on the latest BlackBerry 7 OS. Availability is still unknown at the moment.

The Curve 9380 was rumoured quite a while and it was recently confirmed accidentally on BlackBerry’s development blog. The development post also revealed the BlackBerry Bold 9790 which is likely to have Bold 9900‘s touch screen and features in the former Bold 9780 design.

The Porsche Design BlackBerry has finally been revealed as the Porsche Design P’9981 Smart phone. This is an exclusive BlackBerry with its exterior radically styled with stainless steel and leather.

Internally its rather similar with its flagship BlackBerry Bold 9900 that comes with a 1.2GHz processor, 768MB RAM, 8GB of internal storage, 2.8″ VGA display and a 5MP camera capable of shooting 720p HD videos. The difference lies on the exterior as the Porsche P9981 is slightly wider by 1 mm and thicker by 0.8mm compared to the Bold 9900. The premium materials add 25 gram extra, making it a total of 155 grams.

Being a premium device, the P’9981 features an exclusive BlackBerry PIN with a “2AA” prefix. In terms of price, it is rumoured to be $2,000. That’s in USD, which makes it slightly more than RM6,000. That’s a lot to pay for a blinged up BlackBerry Bold 9900.

For more information, head over to the Porsche Design P’9981 microsite.

Hands-on and official promo videos & pics after the break.
