BlackBerry Bold 9900 review

 

Sporting both a keyboard and a touchscreen the Bold has truly embraced the current trend and with BB OS 7 on board, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is a phone designed for the future

Crystal clear screen ; Well-built chassis ; Excellent keyboard

Sub-par battery life ; Average camera

The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the jewel in RIM's new range at the moment, as it comes with a premium chassis that feels solid yet manageable in the hand and the latest operating system on a pin-sharp screen. The web browser has been boosted too, and...

BlackBerry Bold 9900 review

 

Finally some top-end specs. Has BlackBerry ripened with age?

Slimmest BlackBerry ever ; 8GB of built in memory ; Amazing screen clarity ; Proven reliability of email ; NFC capable

OS 7 not much better than OS 6 ; No Flash video ; Camera snaps could be better ; Social networking could be better integrated ; Function buttons are fiddly

The BlackBerry Bold 9900 comes as something of a shock. You see, for years, BlackBerry has, in a sense, been catching up. That's not a dig at its parent company – it's practically royalty in push email and corporate handset circles. But it has been...

BlackBerry Bold 9900

 

When you're under fire you have to make bold moves, like launching five new handsets, improving the hardware specs and ushering in a new operating system. With BlackBerry facing challenges from all sides, are RIMs efforts enough to lure customers to...

Keyboard, email, improved browser, great display

Battery not great, some signs of lag and loss of finger tracking, camera performance behind average, apps selection not as comprehensive as big rivals

The best BlackBerry Bold ever? Perhaps it is. The core features of BlackBerry are still compelling, the keyboard will let you skip over keys rattling out messages, with a rock of the thumb here and a glancing prod there, in ways that only BlackBerry...

Blackberry Bold 9900 review

 

Research in Motion (RIM) unveiled a new range of Blackberry devices running the latest operating system OS 7. These devices pack a powerful processor under the frame (unlike traditional Blackberry devices) and come in great designs. The Blackberry Bold...

If I said the Bold 9900 is expensive it would be an understatement. It costs a whopping Rs 30,490. This is where the Blackberry loses points because even the powerful Galaxy SII is now available for Rs 26,990. I mean you can buy this if you are a...

BlackBerry Bold 9900 (T-Mobile) review

 

The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the GSM version of the BlackBerry Bold 9930 , and has essentially the same design and features save for a few changes depending on the carrier. The Bold 9900 for T-Mobile lacks the dual-mode GSM/CDMA chipset of the Bold...

The RIM BlackBerry Bold 9900 has a very polished design, with a svelte form factor, a sharp touch-screen display, and a wonderful QWERTY keyboard. Notable features include a 1.2GHz processor, the new BlackBerry OS 7, 720p HD video recording, and NFC...

The BlackBerry Bold 9900's call quality is slightly flawed. It's also very expensive when compared with similar handsets.

BlackBerry enthusiasts will love the BlackBerry Bold 9900, but its high price tag will be a deterrent to many.
