Just last month I was thinking of throwing my BB Torch.
Was bored senseless. Nothing to shout about asthetically. Wont turn heads as I whipped it out of my Gucci.
The BlackBerry Torch 9810 (it looks exactly the same as my current 1st Gen BB Torch).
Yes, the BB is a totally reliable workhorse & the BBM is god-sent; perfect in most ways, ideal for my lifestyle. But sexayy? Nah.. thats never an adjective to describe a BB.
Until I lay my eyes on the new BlackBerry Bold 9900 thats it. Whoaaaa.. now thats a nice little new toy I wont mind owning!!! And yes, Im going to throw away my BB Torch.
RIM: The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the thinnest BlackBerry smartphone yet at only 10.5mm, and the 1st to offer the perfect union of a high performance keyboard & touch display integrated within the BlackBerry Bold design.
Slim& sexy!
The ! BlackBer ry Bold 9900 fits nicely in the hands, and the Blackberry 7 OS is zippy & smooth. It has the perfect marriage of hardware & software (for now) in a BB.
Both the touchscreen sensitivity & trackpad were a breeze to use. Im primarily holding on to a BB cos I like using keypad (perfect for typing & driving) and the keypad on the BB Bold 9900 is well-spaced (for me at least) & the keys were nice to type on.
The new BlackBerry Bold 9900 is also the first BlackBerry smartphone to include built-in support for NFC (Near Field Communications), a new
technology that is enabling many new and exciting capabilities, including the ability to pair with NFC-enabled accessories or read SmartPoster tags with a simple tap of the smartphone.
Other than the BlackBerry Bold 9900 Research In Motionalso launched 3 other BBs namely the The BlackBerry Torch 9860, The BlackBerry Torch 9810 & The BlackBerry Curve 9360.
BlackBerry Torch 9860.
The BlackBerry Torch 9860 smartphone offers a fast and fluid performance in a stylish new all-touch design. With a spectacular new 3.7 display, the largest ever on a BlackBerry smartphone, the new all-touch BlackBerry Torch 9860 smartphone is optimized for high-quality multimedia, web browsing and gaming.
My opinion? Well, I find the touch keypad a ! wee hard to type & I kept making spelling mistakes. Also, I thought it looked a bit too HTC-like to me. Hhmm..I need to get myself a fully touchscreen smartphone soon (iPhone 5 !!! ) before I totally lose my ability to type on a touchscreen keyboard!
Still slim.
The BlackBerry Torch 9810 .
The 9810 is a powerful evolution of the BlackBerry Torch 9800. The new smartphone is faster and more fluid with high performance hardware features and the new BlackBerry 7 OS delivering an enhanced multimedia experience.
Featuring a large 3.2, high resolution touch display and a distinctive BlackBerry keyboard that easily slides out to allow fast typing, the BlackBerry Torch 9810 truly delivers the best of both worlds.
My thoughts? Well, its a decent phone. Its after all an improved version of my current Torch 9800, of which I have been using for the past 7 months. I had no problems with it except for laggy browsing experience; of which is supposedly fixed for this Torch 9810 since Blackberry 7 OS enables zipper browsing experience & there are hardware upgrades here as well.
Th! e BlackB erry Curve 9360.
The iconic BB Curve. Great for those who wants a basic BB.
The new BlackBerry Curve smartphones are slim & stylish enough. They are ergonomically designed with a comfortable and iconic keyboard for fast, accurate typing and an optical trackpad for easy, one-handed navigation.
GPS and Wi-Fi support are included, as well as a 5MP camera with flash and video recording so that memories can be captured and instantly shared on social networks. The microSD/SDHC slot supports up to 32 GB memory cards for additional media storage.
In addition to supporting the new BlackBerry 7 OS, the new BlackBerry Curve smartphones feature a range of powerful hardware enhancements including upgraded processors, displays and memory, and built-in support for NFC (Near Field Communications).
All of the new Blackberry smartphones above comes preinstalled with the new BlackBerry 7 operating system. Blackberry 7 OS introduces a next generation BlackBerry browser with a significantly faster, more fluid web browsing experience.
Combining the improved performance of the advanced WebKit browser engine together with po! werful h ardware enhancements, BlackBerry 7 based smartphones deliver browsing results that are up to 40% faster than BlackBerry 6 based smartphones and up to 100% faster than BlackBerry 5 based smartphones*.
