Blackberry Bold 9900

BlackBerry is a line of smartphone devices developed and designed by Research In Motion (RIM). The first BlackBerry smartphone was released in 1999.  The latest BlackBerry 7 devices were announced in the Fall of 2011.

BlackBerry devices are smartphones, which are designed to function as personal digital assistants, portable media players, internet browsers, gaming devices, cameras and much more. They are primarily known for their ability to send and receive (push) email and instant messages while maintaining a high level of security through on-device message encryption. BlackBerry devices support a large variety of instant messaging features, with the most popular being the proprietary BlackBerry Messenger service.

BlackBerry 7 OS: The new BlackBerry operating system has a stack of new and improved features, from that new-fangled NFC payment technology, to voice-operated search functions and a faster web browser. There’s also something called Liquid Graphics, which essentially makes your images super-clear and super-crisp and makes the whole ‘getting around your phone’ thing much easier.

2.8-inch Touchscreen and QWERTY Keyboard: The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the first of the Bold brethren to sport a full QWERTY keyboard and touchscreen. The touchscreen is ultra-responsive and easy to use, as is the spacious four-row keyboard that lies beneath.

Slim, Industrial Bodywork: The BlackBerry Bold 9900 boasts premium styling and a tiny waist. The 10.5mm framework makes the Bold 9900 the thinnest BlackBerry smartphone to date, while the stainless steel chassis brings an industrial twist to the standard Bold design.

5 Megapixel Camera: The 5 megapixel comes loaded with features to improve picture and video quality. An LED flash sits snugly on the back panel and allows users to flex their snapping skills day or night. There’s also HD video recording at 720p for those wanting to turn their hand to videography.
