BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900, 9930 announced!

Over at the BlackBerry World Conference in the US, Research in Motion announced two new handsets — the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and the BlackBerry Bold Touch 9930, including a spanking new BlackBerry 7 OS.

And RIM has finally decided it’s time to make their Blackberrys slimmer — the Bold 9900/9930 are now just 10.5mm thin (previous models come at 14mm thick).

BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900, 9930 specs:
• 2.8″ capacitive touch screen display – VGA (640×480), 287 dpi resolution
• QWERTY keyboard, optical trackpad
• 1.2 GHz processor
• 768 MB RAM
• 8GB on-board memory,
• microSD slot supporting up to 32GB
• NFC technology
• 5MP camera w/ 720p HD video recording
• Orientation Sensor (Accelerometer), Digital Compass (Magnetometer), Proximity Sensor
• GPS with aGPS support
• Dual-Band WiFi – 802.11 b/g/n @ 2.4 GHz and 802.11 a/n @ 5GHz
• Bluetooth 2.1+EDR
• 1230 mAh Li-Ion battery
• BlackBerry 7 OS

The Blackberry Bold 9900 is Tri-Band HSPA+ and Quad-Band GSM/EDGE while the BB Bold 9930 is Dual-Band CDMA/EV-DORev.A, Dual-Band HSPA+ and Quad-Band GSM/EDGE.

I reckon we will most probably be seeing the BB Bold Touch 9900 released in the Philippines (and could greatly benefit from the HSPA+ roll-out of Globe).

The two handsets also sport the new BlackBerry 7 OS which RIM claims offer an easier and faster user experience with improved browsing, voice-activated searches, the ability to manage personal content separately from corporate content, as well as additional personal and productivity apps out of the box.
