BlackBerry phones used to rule the roost in the business phone segment, but they are not the default choice any more for those looking to buy a business smartphone. There are plenty of other alternatives available in the market out there, which also provide the capabilities of entertaining yourself. This is something that is almost non-existent in the current crop of BlackBerry phones apart from a few. Therefore, the need for the hour is a proper BlackBerry phone that it can also work well when entertainment is demanded. The BlackBerry Bold 9900 seems to be the perfect choice, but up until now, this phone has been kept as a secret.
However, BlackBerry finally launched this device in various countries across the globe, with the United Kingdom being one of the prominent markets. This tri-band phone will be arriving soon at your local shop on contract options, which are likely to cost around £ 30 per month. This represents an incredible value, something that has been missing in the BlackBerry phones of late. In addition to the cost savings, you will also be able to appreciate the amount of features present in the phone. It is almost as if this is a high end smartphone that is very similar to the Android and the iPhone rivals.The BlackBerry Bold 9900 comes with a 2.8 inch touch screen display, which is really the star of the show. This is because of the high resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, which takes care of any images that you need to display the phone. Even though the size of the display may be small, it is compensated extremely well by the presence of this high resolution figure. In fact, it is this high resolution figure coupled with the small size of the display that makes all the difference with regard to the quality of the images produced. All these features will be overshadowed by the usage of the BlackBerry OS 7.
This is the latest version of the operating system from BlackBerry that will make a lot of improvements including the much awaited new web browser. The presence of the 1.2 GHz processor makes it easy for the phone to run this operating system, which is also going to use various graphics to make the user experience a pleasant one. The backlit keyboard is another great feature of the phone, which makes it easy to type fast even in the dark. This is something that would be great if employed in every other phone, but as it is, this feature is likely to be an exclusive of the BlackBerry Bold 9900. The BlackBerry Bold 9900 packs in a punch with the five megapixel unit, which is another surprising aspect of the phone.
It can take high quality images, while the option of 720 p HD video recording is also present as well. Of course, it misses out on the 1080 p HD video recording, but it is still worth the price of £ 30 per month.
