All the three phones – BlackBerry Bold 9790, BlackBerry Curve 9380, and BlackBerry Curve 9350 (which is a CDMA device) – are based on the BlackBerry 7 Operating System. With the introduction of these three phones, there will be seven BlackBerry phones running on BlackBerry 7 OS.

Krishnadeep Baruah, Director of Marketing for India, Research In Motion said: “The BlackBerry 7 OS provides a faster and richer user experience with improved browsing and voice-activated searches. It also includes the ability to manage personal content separately from corporate content, and comes with a variety of personal and productivity apps out of the box.”
