BlackBerry Bold 9700 SOON!

The new BlackBerry Bold 9700 is expected to launch very soon. The “Bold” series has garnered a high fanfare, mainly because of its ease of use. The new Bold 9700 will become even more user friendly, replacing the “Pearl” with an optical pad similar to the Mac compatible 8520 launched earlier this quarter.

The new 9700 will feature a 3.2MP camera and voice calls via WiFi. Essentially it is the same BlackBerry we’ve come to love. Is this bad? RIM is turning into a Nokia with their release of very similar spec phones.

Ah, BlackBerry Bold 9000

The BlackBerry Bold 9000 is perhaps on the most anticipated BlackBerry devices in the market. It will be available come Q4 of 2008 exclusively with AT&T.

OK let’s get these specs out of the way, mmkay:

GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA
Integrated Wi-Fi and GPS
Half-VGA (480×320 resolution) color LCD screen
Up to 5 hours GSM talk time, up to 13 days standby
Side-loading memory slot
1GB of on-board memory storage
624 MHz processor and 128 MB flash memory
Bluetooth® 2.0 capability with support for hands-free headsets, stereo headsets, car kits, and other Bluetooth peripherals

This is one of those proof of concepts from RIM. I can almost hear the engineers say “OK we’ve come up with several of these BlackBerries for 2008 and we need to leave the year with a bang — so here it is – more of the same with slight tweaks here and there – how BOLD, how BEAUTIFUL!.”

This is how you make phones! Let’s not stray away from over the top designs and weird features. Sticking to what works, with a touch of elegance is by itself, Bold.

Cellphone9 Links: New iPhone Colors, New BlackBerrys, The Apple vs The Berry, and more!

Apple 3G iPhone goes Black — apparently just a case; and then we realize that it is indeed real because AT&T says so.
Fold a paper into many squares and you get a space saver. The same thing applies to this concept phone, the Packet Concept Phone. And yes, it is enviro-friendly as well!
As much as we love eye candy, enterprise solutions demand for better Mail and Exchange integration with phones. This is why the iPhone fails in that region. It was almost perfect. The new iPhone seems to address this issue, but the BlackBerry Bold may be more than brazened to challenge the Jesus Phone’s second coming.
Strike while the iron is hot. Rick Segal is involved in a startup for a BlackBerry software company. With the new Berrys announced and out, we’re looking at the Berry versus the Apple. It seems that Segal goes with RIM.
