Slap a new processor, a touch screen and bam, you get yourself the new BlackBerry Bold 99xx series. Make it slimmer while you at it as well.
Announced earlier this week at the on-going Blackberry World in Orlando, the new series will be available in two models: Bold 9930 for CDMA markets and Bold 9900 for GSM markets (Malaysia belongs to this one). Powered by a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, the release of this series also marked the arrival of BlackBerry’s latest operating system, the BlackBerry 7. If you thinking “well, I should just wait for my current BB to receive the new OS”, sorry son, the new OS will only be available in newer devices since it uses hardware acceleration.
As expected from Research In Motion, no pricing or release details for Malaysia are available for now but I’m pretty sure it will be available in our market very very very soon. Meanwhile, with such a powerful processor (damn, it even more powerful than my own Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc) and a touch screen, I only have one question: WHERE THE FECK IS ANGRY BIRDS FOR BLACKBERRY SMARTPHONES? It’s no fair that only BlackBerry PlayBook can enjoy it and no, Angry Farm doesn’t cut it well...D:
That being said, there are actually more to the new Blackberry Bold Touch(es) rather than just slimmer body and new hardware, so hit the jump to find out more about it from the full press release directly from RIM’s mothership.
