BlackBerry Curve "Apollo" leaked with BlackBerry OS 6.1, NFC

The latest BlackBerry Curve from Research In Motion has been leaked by Boy Genius Report. The device, codenamed "Apollo," runs BlackBerry OS 6.1, has an 800MHz Tavor MG-1 processor, a 5MP camera, 512MB of RAM, support for near-field commuinications, GPS, Wi-Fi, and more. It's a Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE phone with tri-band HSPA 7.2Mbps support. Sadly, the Apollo still has a low-resolution 480 x 360 display.

Based on a picture of the Apollo, the phone has a similar form factor to the most recent BlackBerry Curve devices, but it has a much more rounded bottom. It appears to have the same Curve keyboard that we've loved for years, as well as an optical pad. It also appears to have a glossy black finish.

There's no word on a potential release date, any carriers, or how much the phone will cost. Head over to Boy Genius Report for an image.
