Customers can also easily interact with their social network in real time, using preloaded apps for Facebook® and Twitter®.

The integrated camera includes a flash and supports video recording, and pictures taken with the Curve 9320 can be tagged with their location thanks to the smartphone’s built-in GPS.

The new BlackBerry Curve smartphones also feature a built-in FM radio that allows customers to tune into their favorite local stations, and listening to the FM radio does not require a data plan or use data services.
