Its great to hear the news that the new BlackBerry 9360 smart phone is now available here since November 4, 2011. I've been blogging about BlackBerry phones since last year and I saw that the phone is improving in every model. Although that I haven't bought my own BlackBerry phone, I consider it as one my must have phones for my field and not the iPhone. You know that I'm a multi tasking guy and I love QWERTY pads, okay I blamed myself for the wow moments after I tried years ago the first model of BlackBerry Curve.
