Review: BlackBerry Bold 9780
RIM gave BlackBerry aficionados a treat when the BlackBerry 9800 Torch was released on our local shores a couple of months back. Heck, even our very own Reviews Editor Vic fell madly in love with the Torch .
Pros:
- Ever dependable
- ever reliable
- Best hardware QWERTY keys in the market
- Battery life
Cons:
- Outdated hardware
- Would be better if it had a touch screen

BlackBerry Bold 9780 Review
When the Bold 9700 was launched in October 2009, little did RIM (Research In Motion), or anyone else for that matter, know, how much the smartphone market would change in the space of a year.
Pros:
- Blackberry OS6 interface is a lot more fun to use
- Excellent battery life
- A decent camera adds more value
- Comfortable QWERTY keypad
- Display works well even in bright sunlight
Cons:
- Existing Blackberry Bold 9700 users may not be enticed to upgrade
- APP World still falls short in app variety when compared to Apple and Android platforms
- Blackberry data tariff plans are an additional monthly expense

Business as usual
The BlackBerry Bold 9780 is a pretty solid RIM device. Just like the Bold 9700 before it, the 9780 gives you excellent build quality, smooth performance and the corporate grade email and data security. If this is the kind of phone you are looking for, you might as well stop reading right here.

BlackBerry Bold 9780 Review
This is the BlackBerry Bold 9780. When you think of the "classic BlackBerry" this is what comes (or should) to mind. Besides the new operating system, BlackBerry 6 and a Webkit browser (thank goodness), 5 megapixel camera, more RAM, the same 2.44-inch screen at 480x360 pixels, 2GB of microSD card...

Amidst the two important milestones known as the BlackBerry PlayBook and Torch for Research in Motion (RIM), it's easy to forget the device that gave the company the breakthrough into the mainstream market – the BlackBerry Bold 9000 . Back in 2008, we had nothing but praises for the first Bold.
Pros:
- Preloaded with intuitive BlackBerry 6 OS
- New 5-megapixel camera
Cons:
- Processor speed remains at 624MHz
- Sensitive optical trackpad

BlackBerry Bold 9780
The Bold 9780's key new feature is OS 6, as many of its specifications are unchanged from the 9700 model. We'd have preferred a faster processor, but the ever-excellent mini-keyboard should be a winner for mobile email fans.
Pros:
- Small
- neat and pocket friendly
- Superb mini-QWERTY keyboard
- BlackBerry OS 6 offers lots of attractive features
- 5 megapixel camera
- Good battery life
Cons:
- Side mounted 3.5mm headset slot
- Screen is too small for efficient web browsing
- Processor could be faster
- Only 512MB of internal memory

Blackberry Bold 9780 Review by 3G
The BlackBerry Bold 9780 is a lovely device that boasts a fine collection of features; it's just a shame that the OS does not really suit the handset.

Internally, there is a new CPU, however it's running at the same 624MHz that the older Bold 9700 was running at. RIM has upgraded the amount of internal flash memory from 256MB to 512MB.
