The new full-touchscreen BlackBerry Curve 9380 was just announced by RIM this morning and carriers are already jumping at the chance to stock this new Berry. Some internal documentation from Bell is showing the device releasing to their customers on November 28th. There’s no pricing or other specifics available at the moment, but we should see Bell releasing this info sometime in the next week or so. We’ll be covering all the carrier announcements of the new BlackBerry devices as they happen right here at TheBerryFix.com.

Follow after the break to get the details of the new BlackBerry Curve 9380.

Jakarta, Indonesia and Waterloo, ON - Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced two new smartphones based on the BlackBerry® 7 operating system (OS) – the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9790 and BlackBerry® Curve™ 9380.

The new smartphones offer impressively slim and stylish designs with enhanced communications, multimedia, productivity and social connectivity features. The BlackBerry Bold 9790 is both powerful and compact, offering users a fully loaded, high performance smartphone with the dual benefits of a high resolution touch display and a highly tactile keyboard. The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is the first-ever BlackBerry® Curve™ smartphone with a touch display. It continues to deliver the powerful social experiences, ease-of-use and smaller handset size that distinguish the BlackBerry Curve family, while also offering Curve users the choice of a larger display and an all-touch design.

A page from the Rogers Holiday Catalog has leaked to the web and it brings some exciting news for BlackBerry fans. Rogers is gearing up to launch two of our favorite BlackBerrys in White, as well as launching another soon-to-be favorite. The Bold 9900 and Curve 9360 are both available on multiple carriers and now we will be seeing them available in White on the Rogers network. The Bold 9790 has yet to be announced but we know it’s coming. Verizon has this new device set for a November 17th launch, so we could be hearing something official from RIM any day now. There’s no pricing or launch date info for these three devices, but at least we know they are coming in time for the holidays!

A Verizon launch dates roadmap has just shown up online and it pegs the Curve 9370 with a release date of November 17th. This date lines up well with the November rebate form for Verizon that was leaked last week. This date is not 100% official since Verizon hasn’t issued a formal Press Release yet, but we can expect to see the 9370 hit their shelves sometime this month.

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 BlackBerry Curve 9370 was announced a while back alongside the 9350 and 9360. While we have seen both of those devices already hitting carrier shelves, we haven’t seen a single carrier offer the 9370. That is, until this latest piece of news hit the internet. A Verizon rebate form, dated for the month of November, is showing the BlackBerry Curve 9370 listed with a nice little $50 rebate. We have known that 9370 would be hitting Verizon and feature NFC, an 800 MHz processor, and 1 GB of RAM, but we didn’t know exactly when we could expect to see the device hitting shelves. Check back here for more info on the Verizon 9370 launch in the next week or so.

The pricing structure is said to be the same as the 9360 in black; $49.99 with a 3-year contract agreement and $349.99 outright.

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.
