On the left, there is only a micro-USB slot. On the right side are the volume keys, mute button (located between the volume), and the camera button (to change its function). The top is a 3.5mm headphone slot and key lock. The bottom just looks. We found a large cavity below the function keys, allowing dust and dirt easily in the handset.

OS:

BlackBerry Curve 9380 uses the BlackBerry OS 7, which is the latest OS for the BlackBerry today. Quality screen is bright and clear enough to spoil your eyes. However, because the screen is not too large, the picture looks somewhat iconic plaid, less slippery. Features haptic feedback is absent in this unit, so according to our experience of the selection on the screen feels good.

Camera:

As in the Curve 9360, BlackBerry Curve 9380 also features a 5 MP resolution camera with LED flash, and stills the same without autofocus. This camera has the kind of focus EDOF (Extended Depth of Field) or Full Focus. Therefore, the result is good for taking photos with long distance / overall. In contrast to the Auto Focus, this is based on a single point. Yet, to capture close-up images and text EDOF focus of this result is not good.

With the resolution of the touch screen is not too large, Curve 9380 probably enough battery to accompany you throughout the day under normal use and moderate brightness. Again, battery life depends on how many users use the network operators and conditions.

Conclusion:

If the first touchscreen phone in the Curve series, the BlackBerry 9380 offers a new touch screen experience to the user in the entry level class. By having a shape similar to the BlackBerry 9360, this phone looks stylish and comfortable to carry forward because it is thin and light but still good on the handheld.
