BlackBerry Bold 9790 (Bellagio)

The BlackBerry Bold 9790 is a stunning hybrid smartphone from BlackBerry. It's a high performance handset that combines the accuracy of a QWERTY keyboard and the smoothness and speed of the touchscreen to make this all the more enjoyable to use. With the BlackBerry 7 OS and powerful 1 GHz processor, the BlackBerry Bold 9790 delivers fast, smooth performance for browsing the web, running apps, working with documents, and enjoying multimedia.

In terms of aesthetics, the 9790 is certainly pleasing, with the classic chrome band back in play after a few product cycles of pure black chassis within the Bold family. This new addition sports sleek lines, a curved finish and sturdy build-quality.
The slightly rubberised grey backing was also another plus, and gives a sense of security when gripping the phone, especially when the fear of having it accidentally slip out of one's hands is still fresh.

New features such as faster BlackBerry browsing and Liquid Graphics to deliver instant response times, smoother rendering and fluid animations. Also included is voice activated universal search, which means you can now search for files, emails, contacts, music and even whilst browsing the web quickly and accurately just by your voice.The Bold 9790 also comes with a 5 megapixel camera for all those moments you want to remember.

BlackBerry Messenger!

BlackBerry Messenger provides BlackBerry users with the familiar look and feel of desktop instant messaging programs only this time you can take it with you wherever you go. BlackBerry Messenger lets you send messages to friends, supports group chat and notifies you when they have read the message and even when they are composing a reply. And as BlackBerry Messenger uses data, it wont put a dent in your SMS text allowance!

BlackBerry App World!

Download Blackberry OS Apps to your Bold 2 from the Blackberry App World application store. Enhance your phone with new apps including games, news feeds, social networking apps and much more. With BlackBerry OS and App World, the possibilities are endless.


BlackBerry Media Sync!

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 Smartphone syncs with iTunes and Windows Media Player so you can transfer your music files to your phone. Want a specific playlist for the gym? With just a few simple clicks you can choose the playlists you want from your collection. And, to make sure you've always got enough free memory, BlackBerry Media Sync lets you set a limit as to how much of your music to sync.

Instant Email

With instant email access on the Blackberry Bold 2 you can keep up to date with all your important messages even when you are away from your PC. Once you've followed the simple set up procedure you will be able to access your email on your mobile phone as easily as you do in the office or at home

Super fast HSDPA and 3G!

Do you have a need for speed? Well with the Bold 9700 you will be able to enjoy data speeds at an amazing 1.8 MBit/s or 3.6 MBit/s in downlink with this new HSDPA technology. You can download music, games, and video clips at the touch of a button at amazingly fast speeds!

Do it wirelessly

Stay connected to the things that matter to you thanks to the Blackberry 9700 Bold's Wi-Fi. Wirelessly back up and copy your media to your PC, WiFi also means SPEED. The Blackberry Bold 2 empowers you to access the Internet at high speed.

Built-in GPS Receiver

The Blackberry Bold 2 features a built-in GPS receiver. GPS stands for Global Positioning System. More than two dozen GPS satellites orbit the Earth and transmit radio signals which allow any GPS receiver near the planet to determine its location, speed and direction. This is perfect for car satellite navigation!

3.15 Megapixel Camera

With a built in 3.15 megapixel camera, the 9700 Bold takes quality pictures that you will want to share with your friends. Store them in your phone, email them to friends or upload them to your blog

Bluetooth 2.1

Bluetooth 2.1 is the next generation of Bluetooth connectivity. With Bluetooth 2.0 one of the biggest advantages is the possibility of listening to music with a compatible wireless headset in stereo. Less wires, less mess, more noise.

Music Player

With a built in music player, you can carry your tunes with you, in your pocket, and listen to them when you want. Most digital formats are recognised on the phone, including MP3 and AAC.

Expandable Memory

With phones offering so much these days, memory is a premium. Very often on board memory is very low, so an option to add extra memory with the addition of a memory card is invaluable. If you are using your phone as a media player, expandable memory allows you to add songs, store videos and keep photos, and take them with you, all located on your phone

Java

Java is often a forgotten feature on many phones, and is probably used in many ways without you even realising. If you play games on your phone, it is likely they are java apps. But java is so much more than games. It allows you to add extra functionality to your handset by installing third party apps to the phone. Add email functionality with Gmail, add a web browser from Opera Mini, add a business directory with Yell.com or keep an eye on a new purchase on Ebay.

Built in Hands Free

For the moments when you want to take that call but your hands are busy doing something else, the built in hands free option on the Blackberry Bold 2 comes into its own. You can even turn the handset into a makeshift conference phone!

RIM Blackberry 7290

RIM BLACKBERRY 7290 - PDA/EMAIL CELLULAR PHONE (UNLOCKED)

The BlackBerry 7290 follows the standard BlackBerry form factor-- a large 240 x 160 color screen placed above a QWERTY thumbpad. The screen offers plenty of real estate to view your emails, web browser content, messaging sessions and attachments. The popular BlackBerry user interface is here, too, which makes it easy to navigate the phone's functions. A jog dial is located on the right side of the unit for quick scrolling through menus and emails. There's also a standard 2.5mm headset jack that can be used with the included headset. A removable lithium-ion battery is housed in the rear of the unit.

The BlackBerry 7200 series adds support for Bluetooth, a brighter display, quad-band GSM and 32 MB of internal memory. This integrated phone, email client (with support for corporate email servers), organizer and web browser is the ultimate weapon for mobile professionals.

Many of the calling capabilities folks have come to expect in a wireless phone are present in the 7290. The unit's Bluetooth capability means you can use a wireless headset with the phone for handsfree calling. A vibrating alert, speed dial, and a contacts list/address book that is limited only by the unit's 32 MB of internal memory, are also included.

The 7290 ships with a number of tools, including a calculator with a unit converter and a to-do list. The unit's software is based on the Java platform, meaning Java-compatible games and applications can be added to the device.

The RIM BlackBerry 7290 weighs 4.9 ounces and measures 4.5 x 2.9 x 0.9 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of digital talk time, and up to 9 days of digital standby time. It runs on the 800/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS frequencies.

If your company has BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, you can take advantage of the power of wireless calendar synchronization. Your calendar events are exchanged wirelessly and automatically so that your desktop calendar and BlackBerry device calendar are synchronized. All your Outlook meeting requests, changes, and updates are instantaneously synchronized instantaneously with your desktop. Make meeting requests, invite new attendees and more, all on your 7290. Users without Enterprise Server support can manually sync with their desktop calendars and contacts via Bluetooth or USB using the included BlackBerry Desktop software.

- BlackBerry Curve 8900 now available on T-Mobile

It’s a good day for T-Mobile and BlackBerry fans. They are the first to get the Curve 8900 for $199 with a 2-year deal. So feel free to rush into T-Mobile stores to pick up the BlackBerry Curve 8900. Or online.

Not that it comes as a shock or anything, but just reminding you. What are you waiting for? Go get it.

- BlackBerry Curve 8900 gets the Colorware treatment

It had to happen. If a device is as popular as the BlackBerry Curve 8900, it will get the Colorware treatment sooner or later. Usually sooner. Just like the iPhone 3G, and your DS. So, if you want to beat your precious gadget upside the face with an ugly stick, the folks at Colorware will gladly help.

It doesn’t have to be ugly of course, you can put together something striking I’m sure. Just be certain it’s what you want before you commit. A solid color will run you $129, but if you want a different top, bottom, frame or sides, it will be higher. You could just love your device for who it is, which is the cheapest option and it will love you back. Maybe.

It will just look like everyone elses and have no identity whatsoever.

- LeapFrog intros “Baby BlackBerry”

This “Baby BlackBerry” is not from RIM, which would explain all that cheap plastic and the cutesy animal theme. It’s a Text and Learn PDA for kids from LeapFrog. Your little ones will have a jump start on the other kids when it comes to texting and churning out emails.

Alright, so it wont let them email everyone on your contact list. The device features a full QWERTY keyboard and a large LCD display. No Wi-Fi, which should keep your rugrat out of trouble. Just be aware that you are grooming your kid to ask for the real deal in just a few short years. And an unlimited data plan. It will be available in August for £19.99.

Some other features are a calendar to learn dates, phonics for the keypad and maybe a game or two.

- iSuppli says Blackberry Storm sells at a loss

The Blackberry Storm is by many accounts the single worst smartphone to ever wear the Blackberry logo. Customers who purchased the device have complained that its performance is sub-par and some reports claim Blackberry knew the device was buggy when it launched the Storm.

Research firm iSuppli has taken the Storm apart to find out how much the components and construction of the smartphone cost RIM. The cost for parts and construction is a bit under $203 according to iSuppli. To compare, the firm found that the parts and build bill for the iPhone 3G was under $175.

With a parts and labor bill along of $203, RIM can’t be making money on the handset. Verizon offers the device for $249 before a $50 mail-in rebate and the iSuppli numbers don’t take into account the cost of patent licensing, marketing, and distribution.

- BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 from Verizon

If you’re a fan of Verizon you’ll be happy to know that the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 will be with the carrier soon. It’s the first clamshell BlackBerry, so it looks a little strange, but it’s a good solid phone that’s been available for a few months from other carriers.

We don’t have any word on pricing and availability. We do know that silver will be among the color choices. The release date should be very soon since test units have gone out.

It’s probably RIMs least desirable handset, but even so, should have no problem finding owners
