RIM has recently announced a new entry level BlackBerry Curve 9320. A few weeks ago, RIM introduced the Curve 9220 in India which looks similar but comes with much lowered specs.
The Curve 9320 appears to be an upgrade of its previous Curve 9300. It comes with a 2.44 QVGA display (320×240), 806MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 512MB of ROM with expandable storage via microSD.
It is slightly lighter and slimmer than the outgoing Curve 9300 at 12.7mm thick and weighs at 103g. Over at the back, it comes with a 3.2MP shooter and it is powered with a generous 1,450mAh battery, which is 300mAh more than the previous model. Out of the box, it runs on the latest BlackBerry 7.1 OS.
For more information, head over to BlackBerry 9320 product page.

U Mobile is on a roll today after announcing its long awaited HSPA+ service. Now they have also announced a range of phone bundlings that’s tied with different plans and contracts.
Some of the bundle offers are the same such as the BlackBerry Curve 9300 and Bold 9780 going for RM90/month and RM142/month respectively with 12 months contract of U Mobile BIS Plan. The U Mobile Huawei MiFi too is the same at RM210 with U Broadband plan.
What’s new is that U Mobile is offering an Android device, the HTC Wildfire for only RM199 with 24 months contract of U Premium Plan. We have no idea about this new U Premium Plan and it is not even on U Mobile’s website. In the previous bundling plan for Nokias, there was a PAYU Voice plan which is added on top of an existing UB68 data plan that looks similar with DG Smart Plan.
For those who want a cheap phone without contract, there’s the U Mobile SOU which supports 2 SIM and priced at only RM230 outright. For that price, it includes a U Mobile Prepaid starter pack, a RM50 top up voucher plus an extra battery.
Head after the break for more bundles of Nokia devices which includes the Nokia 7230, Nokia E5, Nokia X3 Touch & Type and Nokia C7.

BlackBerry Malaysia has announced that the BlackBerry Torch 9800 and BlackBerry Curve 9300 now comes in 2 new colour options respectively. The BlackBerry Torch now comes in Red and White while the Curve 3G comes in Bright Chrome and Pink option.
It is mentioned that the new BlackBerry colours are available from carriers and authorised distributors in Malaysia. This means that the Red BlackBerry Torch is no longer exclusive to Celcom and should be available from DiGi, Maxis and phone dealers as well. Last week, Maxis was the first to announce the availability of the White BlackBerry Torch.
Head after the break to see all colour options.

UPDATE: U Mobile offering FREE 6 months subscription for early birds & U Mobile’s BIS service also available when roaming into Celcom 2G areas.
U Mobile now officially offers BlackBerry services and they had just started a firesale which people started queuing since last night. Those lucky ones in line are getting a BlackBerry Bold 9780 from as low as RM3. We are also informed there are other random lucky draws that offers the device for cheap at Berjaya Times Square.
Now the plans are officially out for both U Mobile postpaid and prepaid customers. As teased earlier, they have daily BIS at RM1.50/day, weekly BIS at RM10/day and monthly BIS at RM40/day. For other data usage including tethering and video streaming, U Mobile charge 5sen per MB which is U Mobile’s latest PAYU data rate similar to TuneTalk.

UPDATE : Just before 12:00AM, there’s already a queue of 20+ people at Berjaya Times Square for the U Mobile BlackBerry Sale. Pic below after the jump.
UPDATE 2 :: U Mobile replied to our tweet on whether there will be any bundled plans for BlackBerry devices and whether the BlackBerry Torch will be offered. Answer is no for now.

UPDATE 3:: As there’s definitely more than 20 people standing in line at the Boulevard of Berjaya Times Square right now, your chances of getting a Bold 9780 for RM3 is pretty much zilch but U Mobile says you should still drop by and take a look at what they have to offer tomorrow as there will be a lucky draw where the winner gets to purchase a BlackBerry for RM3. U Mobile didn’t however say which BB specifically.
U Mobile will be launching its BlackBerry plans tomorrow and along with it the operator will be offering the BlackBerry Bold 9780 and the BlackBerry Curve 9300 at crazy prizes.
U Mobile had earlier put out a teaser about its BlackBerry sale but not much details on the service plans were revealed. Building up to the launch tomorrow however, the U Mobile Twitter account have been providing some clues of what you can expect at the sale.
We’ve scanned through U Mobile’s Twitter timeline and have some interesting information about tomorrow’s launch to share with you.
