    The fourth BlackBerry 7 phone is the newest addition to its Curve portfolio, the Curve 9360.

    The 9360 will be the second BlackBerry to feature NFC - a short-range wireless tech most commonly used for contactless payments and ticketing.

    So far, UK consumers have proved largely resistant to the charms of contactless payments, but RIM is predicting the Olympics will give take-up a boost. "Use cases will come," said a BlackBerry spokesman.
