RIM came through with their usual brilliance when they packed the new Blackberry Bold 9900 Touch phone with the Blackberry 7 OS, a 1.2 GHz processor and a dedicated graphics processor. If you hate the slow response of your current Smartphone or tap your toe anxiously waiting for the hourglass to go away while scrolling through your email or browsing the Web, then check out RIM’s Blackberry Bold 9900 Touch phone. We promise the quick response time will impress the heck out of you.
The force driving the fast performing BB Bold 9900 is Liquid Graphics or LG. That’s the code name for the system including the high-speed processor, boat-load of memory, dedicated graphics processor and totally re-engineered software graphics architecture. Essentially, Liquid Graphics makes it feel like you have a phone that you can actually use like a PC. Unless you are 30 feet underground in a bunker or cave you’ll find browsing the web is rocket fast. Panning and zooming is fast and incredibly accurate. Go ahead and just try to stop browsing. The speed and ease of use makes browsing the Web with your Blackberry Bold 9900 Touch totally addictive.
Overview
The BB Bold is beautiful to view and actually feels kind of sexy in the palm of your hand. The brushed stainless steel frame that wraps around the exterior of the phone case adds durability, but it looks sharp too. Exclusive to the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930 Smartphones is the “aerospace composite” battery door composed of the same material used in the framework of racecars and newer airplanes. Why? This composite material optimizes the device’s connectivity components for high reliability. The ultra-thin design makes the BlackBerry Bold 9900 (and the 9930) Smartphones the thinnest BlackBerry ever at 10.5mm.
With a 1.2 GHz processor, 8GB of onboard memory with the option to expand go ahead and get the 32GB media card because you are going to love taking pictures and video with this phone. Those BB users that download large amounts of files, graphics, or videos will appreciate the dependable hi-speed CDMA or HSPA+ cellular connectivity, as well as the dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity (2.4GHz and 5GHz). This means that you can use the WiFi for data downloads and it won’t hit your data plan.
Speaking of videos, the Bold 9900 Touch is equipped with a 5.0 MP camera with flash, supports 720p HD video recording. Now you don’t have to pack along another piece of equipment to record video memories or digital pictures. You can do it all with the Bold 9900. You’ll amaze your friends and family with the stunning image clarity you can view directly on your screen or upload to Facebook and share them that way.
The BB Bold 9900 Touch is the ultimate tool for on-the-go professionals. The full QWERTY keypad is a must for using the phone instead of your laptop to respond to email and create or modify documents while at the same time keeping up with Facebook and Twitter communications. However, it’s the BlackBerry Balance technology working behind the scenes to secure your data and personal information. Blackberry Balance is the technology that allows you to securely access business data, documents and email, but it also makes it possible to stay connected via apps like Facebook, Twitter or personal email accounts.
