New BlackBerry Bold commercial shows off the "Harmony" of touchscreen + keyboard

RIM posted a new commercial for the BlackBerry Bold 9930/9900 to their youtube account a few days ago, showing off the harmony of the touchscreen + physical keyboard experience on what they refer to as the "new" BlackBerry Bold. You can check out the video above.

Personally, I'm LOVING that the iconic BlackBerry form factor now has a touchscreen. I use it all the time mixed in with my trackpad and keyboard use. I've tried going back to my touchscreen-less 9780, and now it just feels weird not to have it. That said, a few of my friends who have picked up the 9900 (including my gf), have mentioned on more than one occassion they wish they could turn the touchscreen off. I guess they're so used to not having a touchscreen that they're not really using it all that much so more than anything they find it gets in the way with accidental swiping. That option doesn't exist of course, but for those who can't stand a touchscreen the newly announced BlackBerry Curves don't have one.

Bell and Virgin Mobile Canada launch BlackBerry Curve 9360, Torch 9860 also arrives on Bell

Launching a few days ahead of shcedule, both Bell and Virgin Mobile Canada have the BlackBerry Curve 9360 available for purchase on their websites. Pricing is consistent across the sites with the entry level device coming in at $349.99 off contract or as low as $49.95 on a 3 year contract.

If you're more interested in the new Black Berry Torch 9860, Bell has gone ahead and released it online as well. The full touchscreen device can be yours for $599.95 off contract or $129.95 on a 3 year contract.

BlackBerry Curve 9360 Pink and White

The Curve line of BlackBerry has always been a little more flexible than other devices when it comes to color choice, and it looks like the latest addition to the family will be no different. On top of the usual black, TELUS looks to be releasing the Blackberry Curve 9360 in white and pink as well!

Pink makes sense for TELUS, as they have previously donated portions of the sales of pink Curves and Pearls to help fund breast cancer research. We aren't sure when the pink or white Curve 9360s will be available to buy, but if color is no matter to you and you're interested in the new Curve, you can grab the black version now.
