RIM have indeed gone for a bold comeback with the unlocked Blackberry Bold 9900. Not only does it have a beautiful VGA touchscreen that plays video vibrantly, it also sports a 1.2GHz processor powering the new Blackberry OS 7.0 with enhanced liquid graphics. Telecommunications
User Interface
The sim free Blackberry 9900 has got a boost in screen size as it comes with a 2.8″ screen that far outclasses anything the folks at Nokia could come up with. To make sure that you keep it this way I would recommend getting a Blackberry 9900 screen protector. The user interface is also complemented by navigation controls and a full QWERTY keyboard. There are also the typical Blackberry keys: Place Call, End Call, Menu, and Back.
Camera
The camera UI still is the worst of the lot – RIM could have done something to spruce it up but they didn’t. Does make sense when you realize that this is a business phone and not one for snapping pics of the puppy next door or taking self-portraits. The image quality is also not worth mentioning but at least they’ve improved from their previous devices which had extremely useless cameras.
Battery Life
Battery life on the Blackberry 9900 is not that great, so it would be a good idea to stock some spare Blackberry 9900 batteries. Casual users would not require it but if you are a constantly connected businessman then I am pretty sure you are going to need that extra ampere. If you rather prefer to keep your Blackberry plugged in while in the office or when driving your vehicle then you might think about a BlackBerry 9900 car holder or BlackBerry 9900 desk stand. We’ve just got a slew of BlackBerry 9900 accessories and they include some very cool and functional Blackberry 9900 Bluetooth headsets.
Conclusion
This device looks great, feels great. The touchscreen is excellent along with the physical keyboard proving fast, tactile and ergonomic. And to top it all off, the bundled soft pouch has a nice leather smell. And isn’t that what’s really important?
