Bell Mobility has officially moved the BlackBerry Curve 9380 to End of Life (EOL) Status. What does this mean, you ask? It means that they will no longer be ordering additional stock of an item and when it’s gone, it’s gone for good. The Curve 9380 is the first full-touch Curve device from RIM, and if the EOL status after less than 6 months is any indication, it wasn’t very well received. The 9380 hit EOL at Bell on March 21st, so if you;re looking to snatch one up, head over and do so soon.

This is definitely some interesting news coming out of Canadian carrier, TELUS. Their internal inventory systems are showing the BlackBerry Torch 9860 and Curve 9380 going to end-of-life status by the end of April. The Torch 9860 is set for April 15th and the Curve 9380 is set for April 30th. Now, what exactly does this mean for these two devices? It most likely means that Telus won’t be ordering any more of these devices, so when they sell out, they’re gone for good. If you are looking to grab either of these BlackBerrys on Telus, get down there before the EOL date to make sure you can get one.

RIM has put out a release announcing that the BlackBerry Bold 9790 and Curve 9380 are both launching soon in the Caribbean. The BlackBerry Bold 9790 is the little brother of the Bold 9900, it features a 1GHz processor, 2.45″ capacitive touchscreen, and a 5 MP camera. The Bold 9790 is perfect for those that prefer a smaller and more compact device but don’t want to compromise on speed and performance.

The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is RIM’s first Curve offering to feature a full-touchscreen. The 9380 features XX GHz processor with a dedicated GPU, a 3.2′ touch display with 480 x 360 resolution, and the same 5 MP camera sensor found on all the latest BlackBerry devices. Both of these devices are slated to launch in early March on various carriers across the Caribbean. You can hit the break to read the full Press Release from RIM.

Another of the leaked slides from today shows off RIM’s White series of BlackBerry devices. It lists the current family of the Torch 9810, Bold 9900, and Curve 9360, alongside the upcoming additions to the family, the Bold 9790 and Curve 9380. The white option is a highly desired option that not only RIM is embracing, but many other manufacturers are, as well. If you’re a fan of White devices and you want a Bold 9790 or Curve 9380, then you may want to hold off till Q2 to get your hands on one.

We have see mention of the Curve Touch 9380 multiple times, seen multiple photos of it, and even seen RIM leak the device number in App World. Even through all this, RIM has failed to officially acknowledge that the device is coming. That may be changing soon with a first glance at Telus’s upcoming Holiday Promotions catalog. A page in this catalog is proudly displaying the Curve 9380 as the newest BlackBerry and goes on to list a few highlights of the device. Some of those highlights include:

• A 3.2″ High-resolution Touchscreen

We’ll let you know as soon as we get an either an official press release or an invitation to media launch party for these devices.

The Bold 9790 and Curve 9380 are both devices that we have seen leaked and know quite a bit about, yet both devices remain unofficial and unannounced. The Bold 9790 will come in the familiar Bold 9700-style but will feature a touchscreen, the new 1.2GHz processor, and the updated 5MP camera. This device is set to fill the gap for users that want the power of BlackBerry 7 in a smaller, full-keyboard device. The Curve 9380 is going to be like a mini Torch 9850/9860. This will be a full-touchscreen Curve device featuring the updated, 800MHz processor.

Both of these devices are expected to be announced in the coming weeks and be available before year’s end. These two devices should round out the BlackBerry 7 device offerings and fill the gap until we see QNX devices debut in early 2012. Having these device numbers show up in the App World Dev Portal tells us that they are pretty much official and we can expect the announcement any day.

Left: Curve 9380  Right: Torch 9850

Just yesterday we got some hands-on photos of the upcoming BlackBerry Bold 9790 and today we get a similar photo session with the Curve Touch 9380. The 9380 is set to be a member of the Curve family and will feature a full touchscreen instead of the traditional keyboard. This will be the budget model comparable to the Torch 9850/9860 and will make the full touchscreen BlackBerry experience available to a larger audience.

The current specs on this bad boy, codenamed the BlackBerry Orlando, are pretty impressive. An 800 MHz processor, 5 MP camera, 3.25 inch display, and NFC are some of the top specs for the 9380. This device should be debuting any time between now and the end of 2011. We’ll let you know as soon as we hear more, but in the meantime you can check out more photos of the device past the break.

We have heard lots of talk about a Curve device featuring a full touchscreen that would be like the little brother to the Torch 9860. We even saw these pics of the device last week. Now, MacBerry has gotten a few new photos and even a video of this upcoming device. We don’t have any official specifications of the device confirmed but from the looks of things this device may feature BlackBerry 7, NFC, an 800 MHz processor, and a 3.2″ 480 x 360 display. You can check out the rest of the photos and the video after the break.
