BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900



The BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 (codenamed internally as "Dakota/Montana", also known as Bold Touch) is the newest Blackberry and is part of the 9000 device series. Introduced in August 2011, it is the first of the Bold line to provide a touchscreen. It marks a return to the form factor of the original 9000 and its popular wide-set physical keyboard. It takes design cues from both its predecessor, the BlackBerry Tour 9630, as well as its GSM variant, the BlackBerry Bold 9700.

  • Thinnest BlackBerry ever
  • Glass Fibre Cover for battery compartment
  • NFC technology

The Bold 9900 launched in Thailand in the DTAC 3G Expo on September 3-4th 2011. Soon after, many users are complaining that the phone was not 100% reliable for daily use as it often froze during the use of BBM (BlackBerry Messenger). The browser is also one of the main problem as the touch is not as smooth as RIM advertised. Both issues were promptly resolved through the over-the-air software releases of BBM 6.0 and BlackBerry OS 7.1, respectively.
