Blackberry Bold 9780 Mobile Phone

Blackberry Bold is the first mobile from the RIM to have version 6 operating system. The phone has a sliding keyboard and relies heavily on the touch pad. The 9780 is identical to the earlier blackberry phones except for a tiny leather pattern on the back.

A wonderful Keypad

Keeping up the reputation of the Blackberry series of mobile phones, the Bold is not a monk when it comes to typing. This phone will tell you why people prefer the Blackberry when it comes to typing emails. The keys being soft are spacious enough to allow most fat fingers.

Camera

The 5-megapixel camera of the device is said to be unexpectedly brilliant overtaking all its predecessors. It is said to produce good quality shots and has impressive features too. On the other hand its video capturing ability is not so good with its 720p-capture bandwagon.


Performance

The doubled RAM capacity of the mobile (512 MB) does all the functions very quickly for the mobile even though the CPU is just 624MHz which is quite low when compared to a low-level android mobile phone. Overall the speed and performance is expected to be good and so this aspect of the phone seems to be safe.

Usability

All the functions of the mobile is entirely dependent on the capacitive touchpad which is pretty sensitive and performs very well. The universal search tool allow you to explore just about anything on your phone and the function is available with a single call on your home screen.

There seems to be no replacing the blackberry when it comes to email management. The Bold does nothing wrong to spoil the reputations of blackberry. Browsing the web is also improved and rapid comparing to its predecessors. The addition of Facebook and Twitter is a warm welcome.

Unfriendly Web Browsing

Thinking of working around with a physical keyboard and the touch pads, leaving the luxury of the touch screens, is a bit too queer. Navigating, zooming and other artful and realistic features of a touch screen device is all missing in these brand of mobiles. However connectivity is never an issue as the 9780 features a Wifi and 3G. The battery life isn't the worst either with its ability to be active comfortably for two days. May be, the small 2.4 inch screen and its capacity of 480x360-pixel contributes to the long life of the battery.

To sum up, the blackberry bold 9780 isn't a bad phone by any standards. Its email capabilities and finger-friendly keypad make up to its short fall to a typical touch screen device when browsing.
