I was lucky enough to be given the new BlackBerry Bold by RIM today for review. The new 9780’s hardware is not that different to its predecessor, the 9700, but we do get a few improvements.
First off is the camera, now a 5 megapixel. Next we get a memory upgrade to 512mb. And best off all the Bold 9780 comes with BlackBerry 6. This is the first non touch screen BlackBerry to launch here in the UK with the new OS.
What I can say is that although the 9780 is not revolutionary, it is a breath of fresh air and I am so looking forward to using it for the next week or two.
Check out the unboxing video below and keep your eyes peeled for a further demo video over the next few days. Oh, and not forgetting the full review which will be with us soon.
