If you like the slimmer style we’re seeing in the latest BlackBerry Bold models, then you’ll be happy to learn that the new BlackBerry Curve’s also sport a thinner profile than their predecessors. The smartphones will also have the latest BlackBerry OS 7, a 5-megapixel camera and the ability to record video (sorry, no 720p HD video), a faster processor, and can hold up to a 32GB micro SD card. Additionally, the new models will also support NFC (Near Field Communications), which is the technology used for things like Google Wallet and the ability to pay for things with the phone.

There will be three BlackBerry Curve models: Curve 9350 CDMA version (think Sprint and Verizon), Curve 9360 GSM version (think T-Mobile, AT&T, and countries abroad), and the Curve 9370 GSM/CDMA version making it a true world phone. The only real difference between the models is that the Curve 9350/9360 will have 512MB of on-board storage while the 9370 will have 1GB of on-board storage.

The BlackBerry Curve 9350 will be available for Sprint in early September and come with a 2GB microSD card. We’ll keep you updated on when the Curve will be available from other carriers.
