BlackBerry Bold 9650
BlackBerry Bold 9650 – a model announced in 2010. It is a very similar device to the Tour, plus the added optical trackpad. Compared with Bold 9700, this model is bulkier (112 x 62 x 14 mm). However, the size is manageable to fit into the pocket. The phone has a TFT 2.44 inch screen with a 480 x 360 pixel resolution. Beneath the display, there is a QWERTY keyboard which is responsive, quick and accurate. The Bold 9650 includes a microUSB charging port positioned on the right side, which is a bit annoying. The rocker key and the phone locker is on top. BlackBerry Bold 9650 comes with 512 MB inbuilt storage and a microSD slot. The camera is 3.15 MP with flash, autofocus and video recording. The process of taking pictures is simplified – you just point and click and the phone will focus automatically. The battery has a capacity of 1400 mAh which is enough for 18 hours of moderate usage or music play. Overall, this is a mid-range device suitable for those of you who like to type and send messages. It is an improvement compared with the previous model, but the company has still a lot to do to compete effectively against Android- powered devices. | |
