Research In Motion today introduced the latest additions to its Bold series of smartphones, the RIM BlackBerry Bold 9900 and the BlackBerry Bold 9930.
The devices look very much like the company’s traditional QWERTY handsets, but throw a 2.8-inch, VGA (640×480) capacitive touch screen into the mix. They will also run the latest BlackBerry 7 OS, which brings support for augmented reality applications via a built-in magnetometer and faster browser and graphics performance, and feature a 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor and NFC (near field communications) technology for mobile payments.
RIM said these are the thinnest BlackBerrys to date and highlighted the phones’ 5-megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording capabilities and 8GB of internal memory. Looks like the Bold 9900 will be marketed as the first 4G Blackberry smartphone.
RIM said that its revamped mobile OS is a “performance driven” platform and promises easier navigation through its Liquid Graphics interface, as well as faster, richer graphics performance and browsing. The latter is enabled by a revamped BlackBerry browser that includes a just-in-time JavaScript compiler and HTML 5 video support.
But unfortunately, RIM said current devices won’t be upgradeable to the new OS due to hardware restrictions.
Its certain that BlackBerry fans will covet and look forward to these phones. After all, the Bold is by far one of the more popular BlackBerry handsets, with its well-designed keyboard and svelte design. RIM even boasts that the new Bolds are the thinnest and most powerful BlackBerry smartphones yet. As far as BlackBerrys go, these two Bolds are perhaps the most advanced handsets in RIM’s portfolio.
