Thus far the new BlackBerry Curve Apollo still hasn’t been officially announced by Research In Motion; however that doesn’t stop the new RIM device gaining a little bit of hands-on love in a lengthy video, and naturally we have that hands-on play time with the BlackBerry Curve Apollo for your viewing pleasure below.

The hands on footage comes our way courtesy of the guys over at Engadget and by way of Vietnamese site Tinhte in which they put the BlackBerry Curve Apollo through its paces for almost eight minutes and of course the commentary is in Vietnamese so you may not understand, but who needs commentary to check our the device right?

According to the article accompanying the video the BlackBerry Curve Apollo sports an 800 MHz Marvell Tavor CPU MG-1 processor, a 480 x 360 touch screen, 5 megapixel camera, front facing VGA camera, and comes in at 11mm thick.

As yet there is still no word on just when Research In Motion plans to go all official with the BlackBerry smartphone, so until then head on down and mash that play button to check out the BlackBerry Curve Apollo hands-on…enjoy.
