RIM has finally taken off the wraps on its new Blackberry device officially named Bold. Featuring a full QWERTY keyboard, this new device is the most visually pleasing and feature packed device so far: quad-band, 3G, wi-fi, Bluetooth 2.0, integrated GPS all running on a 624MHz Intel processor (that’s twice as fast as previous models) as well as 1GB of onboard memory.
Look for this device in the summer.
In order to entice more consumers to Blackberry addiction, RIM has announced a partnership with Microsoft. RIM will integrate Windows Live Hotmail (with push capabilities, naturally) and Messenger onto the Blackberry platform some time this Summer.
So here it is, the leaked specs for Blackberry 9000.
Radio - GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA
Bands - Quad-band GPRS/EDGE: 800/850/1800/1900MHz
HSDPA: 850/1900/2100MHz
Expandable memory - microSD
Display - HVGA Color LCD (480×320)
TrackBall Navigation
Camera - 2MP
Wi-Fi - a,b,g
A-GPS
Battery - 1500mAh
High quality material, high-end finish
Software - 4.6
It does indeed feature HSDPA 2100MHz, which means 3G for Rogers and AT&T in North America, the 2 carriers selected for initial exclusive launch. Downside is a 2MP camera (Really? Just 2MP?) but you never buy a Blackberry for its shooting performances!
