The Attractive Features in the BlackBerry Bold 9900

BlackBerry is a name bouncing off the tongue of many a phone lover every now and then. Volumes are spoken about the popular brand, some good some bad but bottom line, BlackBerry is a force to reckon with in the mobile market. The BlackBerry 9900 is by no means a small-time phone. On the contrary, it features very significant advancements in technology over its predecessors like the BlackBerry 9860.

Released very recently, not everyone has been lucky enough to pick up the BlackBerry Bold 9900. However, ardent fans of the brand will be delighted to discover that the phone comes with a newer version of BlackBerry’s operating system. You see, the earlier OS 6, which in itself was actually not bad, didn’t quite realize the phone application dream that its other competitors, the droid and the iOS had brought to reality. While it offered quite a number of decent applications, the operating system lacked the capability to run applications of the same quality as the other two platforms. The OS 7 that is embedded within the phone should offer way more competition to Android and iOS than the OS 6 did.

Laying aside the operating system for a while, the most obvious added feature is the multi-touch touch screen RIM generously added on the phone to complement the all too fabulous BlackBerry keyboard. This takes text messaging by phone to a whole new level, given that the messaging services BlackBerry phones deliver are already fabulous in themselves. The screen also has improved resolution from earlier models, doling out 640 by 480 pixels in resolution. The Bold 9900 is one of RIM’s first phones to have both the touch screen feature and the full QWERTY keypad.

To capture those all-important moments in life RIM upgraded the 5MP camera that was present in predecessors of the Bold 9900. This one comes with the ability to take HD videos at 720p, and this will assuredly be a good thing to BlackBerry fans. Another highlight of this phone is the creativity that went into its design. While the BlackBerry is actually famous for its very slim phones, the Bold 9900 defines slim in a whole new way. At 10.5mm, the slimness of the phone along with its sleek design and black color that coats the phone through and through, the Bold 9900 is also an eye-catcher.

This phone is bound to put smiles on the faces of all BlackBerry fans. This phone is a great effort from the team at RIM.
