The affordable BlackBerry Curve 9350 smartphone has just made its debut at Cricket Wireless. The carrier now offers the handset for only $130 USD after instant and web discounts.

No contracts are required, but customers can pair the smartphone with Cricket's $55 USD plan, which offers unlimited talk, text and mobile data.

The Curve 9350 is likely to be shipped with BlackBerry 7.0 OS out of the box, but in this case it will receive a 7.1 OS update soon.

The smartphone is equipped with an 800 MHz single core processor and packs 512MB of ROM, 512MB of RAM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).

In addition, it sports a small 2.44 standard display that supports 480 x 360 pixels resolution, as well as a 5-megapixel rear photo snapper with LED flash and video recording. Check it out here.
