This morning, Telus and Koodo released the BlackBerry Curve 9360 to their subscribers, and now Virgin Mobile has joined the party. Hitting the same price points as Telus, Virgin is offering the device in black for $349.99 outright, dropping to $49.99 with a three-year contract. Available online only for the time being, outlets should have stock within the next week to start peddling these to walk-ins.

As you can see from the graphic above from Virgin, this is a pretty damn tiny device, so I’m not sure how well this would work for a big-mitted person like myself, but it would be perfect for those of us that eschew holsters for the ole pocket-carry. No word on why Virgin has chosen to compare the size of the device with a Snooki doll.
