The phone doesn&#8217;t include the new BlackBerry 10 OS and comes at a much kinder price tag, offering that classic BlackBerry experience with a full QWERTY keyboard.<\/p>\n<p>The BlackBerry 9720 is far from outdated though. It includes a 2.8&#8243; 480 x 360 pixel touchscreen with that excellent keyboard, allowing you to type or touch as it&#8217;s convenient. The phone also includes a 5 megapixel camera with flash, capable of capturing day-to-day moments with ease. The 9720 also includes a micro SD slot to complement its internal storage, allowing 32 GB of additional memory.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/sim-free-blackberry-9720-40525\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31753\" title=\"tier1-blackberry-keyboard.jpg.original\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/tier1-blackberry-keyboard.jpg.original.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"710\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/tier1-blackberry-keyboard.jpg.original.jpg 710w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/tier1-blackberry-keyboard.jpg.original-300x126.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/tier1-blackberry-keyboard.jpg.original-450x190.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One thing that classic BlackBerry phones excelled at was standby battery life, and that remains true for the 9720. The phone comes with a 1450 mAh battery that&#8217;s good for a staggering 432 hours &#8211; 18 days &#8211; of standby time. Talk time is also good at 7 hours, allowing for almost a full work day of talking. Bluetooth 2.1+EDR is supported, allowing for compatibility with the vast majority of headsets and other Bluetooth accessories on the market.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not convinced by BlackBerry 10 and you want to save some money, the BlackBerry 9720 is an excellent choice. It&#8217;s a new sim-free phone with a 24 month manufacturer&#8217;s warranty, yet doesn&#8217;t cost much more than a used BlackBerry phone from years gone by.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on this old-school BlackBerrry smartphone, check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/sim-free-blackberry-9720-40525\">sim-free\u00a0BlackBerry 9720<\/a>\u00a0product page.
