RIM's latest BlackBerry Bold offers an upgrade rather than a revolution. The BlackBerry Bold 9780 looks identical to its predecessor, but features more memory and the new BlackBerry 6 OS. A refreshed home screen, various software enhancements and a better Web browser are improvements.
Pros:
  • BlackBerry 6 OS
  • More RAM than predecessor
  • Best-in-class keyboard and e-mail
Cons:
  • Browser much improved but still inferior to iPhone/Android
  • BlackBerry 6 OS better suited to touchscreen navigation
  • Less apps than competitors

BlackBerry Bold 9780

Tweet Research In Motion (RIM) hasn't taken a step in a Bold (excuse the pun) new direction with the new 9780. Instead the Canadian smartphone manufacturer has enhanced what was good with the old Bold 9700 and addressed its issues.
Pros:
  • New OS is a lot better to use than the one on the previous Bold
  • better performance and camera
Cons:
  • Not many changes in terms of hardware and virtually identical styling to the old model
  • no FM radio
  • no touch-screen

BlackBerry Bold 9780: Not So Bold

You'll notice this review is shorter than our usual smartphone reviews. The reason, as I've already mentioned a couple of times in the article, is quite simple: the Bold 9780 brings absolutely nothing new to the table in terms of hardware, and even the core software is more than half a year old.

Blackberry 9780

The key question here is it worth moving from BB 9700 to BB 9780? My personal answer will be a resounding "yes". I like an improved camera and the black body. Despite certain reservations I became a fan of the new OS.

The latest good looking and the fastest BlackBerry available today for the modern businessman. The best thing about BlackBerry devices is that they are like a pair of Russian Matryoshka dolls, where the bigger toy houses a smaller one inside.
Pros:
  • Performance
  • 624 Mhz processor
Cons:
  • No front facing camera
  • Apps don't work without BlackBerry data plans

Editorial: BlackBerry Bold 9780 vs iPhone 4

One of the questions I get asked the most is "What's should I buy? iPhone or BlackBerry?" If you asked me 3 months ago I probably would have said iPhone without skipping a heartbeat.

BlackBerry Bold 9780 Review

The BlackBerry Bold 9780's key new feature is OS 6, as many of its physical and technological specifications are unchanged from its the 9700 model. The ergonomics are mostly fine, but we'd have preferred to see a faster processor in addition to the internal memory boost.
