RIM is a standard BlackBerry phones that will make all those happy who consider the traditional Blackberry phones the best. The phone succeeds Blackberry Bold 9700 and comes with a number of improvements including an updated Operating system. The company has left no stone upturned to gain attention of Blackberry phone users at a time when touch screen phones are the most popular phones in the market.
Design
Blackberry is at it’s traditional best when it comes to the design of the handset. The device is 15mm thick and weighs 136g that makes the device easy to hold and carry. In terms of overall design, the device looks similar to its predecessor. One noticeable change when it comes to the exteriors is that the use of faux leather for finishing has been reduced.
Display and Keyboard
The screen size measures 2.44 inch which is similar to what its predecessor had. With a resolution of 480 x 360 pixels, the screen provides a decent display. Though it’s not the high-point of the device the display is fine enough to allow the users enjoy the device when it comes to the screen quality. Thought the device doesn't have a touchscreen, the presence of Optical track-pad makes sure that using the device remains easy.
It’s important to discuss the qwerty keyboard of the device as it is one of the best that any phone can provide. The build-quality and the convenience of using the keyboard is something that no other device can match. The keys of the keyboard are placed well and typing a long message or an email does not prove to be a time consuming activity.
Processor, RAM and Memory
The performance of any device depends to a large extent on its processor. Blackberry Bold 9780 is powered by 624 MHz processor that is adequate to ensure a good performance of the device. The web pages load fast and the device functions without any problems. The device has 512 MB RAM and 256 MB storage space. Though, the internal storage space is not much but there is a card slot that can be used to expand the storage space up to 32 GB. A 2 GB card is provided with the handset.
Operating System
This is where a major upgrade comes. The device comes with Blackberry 6 Operating System. Though, this OS has already been launched in BlackBerry Torch 9800, but that was a different Blackberry phone in terms of design and functionality. The good news is that the latest OS works wonderfully well on this traditional looking Blackberry device. The OS has improved on many counts, one of them being, it allows the users to get all their social networking updates at one place.
Messaging
We don’t have to state the obvious, do we? The messaging features remain excellent like the previous Blackberry phones. There are several factors that make it one of the best phones when it comes to messaging. First, the qwerty keyboard that we have already talked about makes typing so much easier. Messaging can be typed much faster and with minimum mistakes largely because of its effective keyboard. All emails and social updates can be viewed at one place with the help of its messaging application.
Camera
It’s heartening to see a 5 mega pixel camera on the device. This is another area where there it can be said that the company has made a major upgrade. The camera also has LED flash that ensures that the picture quality is not that much affected even when the pictures are taken in bad light.
Web browsing
The device is 3G and Wi-Fi enabled. So, that removes half the worries. The pages load fast and multiple windows can be opened at one time. Yes, the small size of the screen reduces the fun, and accessing the web through physical keyboard especially when we have become so much used to touchscreens may prove to be a hindrance. But an excellent browser and powerful processor more than make up for all that.
Final Words
Blackberry Bold 9780 deals are worthy addition to the Blackberry Bold series. The company deserves accolades for daring to launch a traditional Blackberry device in these times of touchscreen phones. Excellent messaging features, Blackberry 6 OS and the evergreen keyboard makes the device a winner. If you’re not that much addicted to the touchscreen and want a decent Blackberry experience, this is the device to go for.
