So we finally got our dirty little hands on RIM's new
BlackBerry Bold 9900 smartphone here at BlackBerry World 2011. It's basically the old
Bold but with a capacitive touchscreen and updated innards including a 1.2 GHz CPU, 768 MB of RAM, a GPU , HSPA+, and NFC support. From a design perspective it mixes BlackBerry's traditional formula with iPhone 4-like materials (that familiar stainless steel rim). It certainly looks premium and feels lovely in the hand, and the keyboard is typical BlackBerry -- which is to say fantastic. The screen is beautiful too, perfect to showcase that elusive new
BlackBerry 7 OS. Still, we can't shake the feeling that we're looking at the device RIM should have shipped last summer instead of the lackluster
Torch. We'll have a hands on video up soon but for now take a peek at our gallery below.
Update: Our video is now live after the break.
