Amidst all of Verizon’s Android announcements was one regarding another BlackBerry 7 powered device called the BlackBerry Curve 9370 which will be the first global ready BlackBerry Curve for Big Red.

The carrier has announced that the device will be hitting its 3G network, sorry no 4G LTE here, on January 19th.

The device is unfortunately not going to be dirt cheap.

In fact, Verizon is going to be charging $99 for it on a new two-year contract and that price comes after a mail-in rebate of $50.
