BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900
Released in August 2011, the BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 offers cutting edge technology – the processor is fast, the touchscreen is high-res, and the phone runs the latest operating system – BlackBerry 7.0 OS. Though the phone is bigger than its predecessor, its weight of 130 grams is acceptable. It slides into the pocket easily and doesn’t look bulky at all. Actually, with dimensions of 115 x 66 x 10.5 mm, it was one of the slimmest models up to its release. There is a high-gloss 2.8 inch touchscreen with brushed metal borders. Up front at the bottom, the phone is made of matte plastic and glass. Removing the back case, you will see a 1230 mAh battery and a microSD slot supporting up to 32 GB. The phone itself, includes 8GB inbuilt storage. On the right edge, there are four buttons acting as a volume rocker and media controller. One of the buttons controls the 5 MP camera, but you can change the button to open an app you wish. The screen up front has a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels which translates into a pixel density of 286ppi. The processor is a dual-core, clocked at 1.2 GHz backed by 768 MB of RAM. | |
