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.
YugaTech.com is the largest and longest-running technology site in the Philippines. Originally established in October 2002, the site was transformed into a full-fledged technology platform in 2005.

I want to have a BB now. It’s so fashionable to have one :)
Glenn Ong says:
I am so excited for this. Here’s to hoping that it won’t cost much.
pixstn says:
the only reason i buy a new phone is when the battery life is reduced to 1/2 of its normal capacity.
deuts says:
If I were to choose between BB 9900 and iPhone 5? iPhone pa rin!
allan says:
yes! this is the one. i hope we can see this here in the phils. soon.
definitely, i want this. i hope globe include this on their line up.
Messie says:
What many phone users fail to realize is the reasonableness of owning a BB phone, specially here in the Phils. Globe and Smart offers BB Social for 300 pesos per month which offers unlimited Blackberry Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google/MSN talk, and unlimited use of social networking apps such as facebook and twitter. This is more useful if many of your friends are on blackberry or are using mobile yahoo messenger. In my case, instead of the usual 500 pesos per month on load, I now only use 300-350 per month when I switched to Blackberry. The free texts on a 300 pesos call card is sometimes enough to cover my SMS needs since my friends are all on BB or in YM using other phones with their 3G plans. Wala pang international text charges since you can chat anytime with your friends or loved ones abroad if they are also using Blackberry or via YM. Sulit na sulit di ba?

nice right and they released a new OS 8 months after releasing BB OS 6.

Harley Son says:
so gorgeous! good thing didnt upgraded to torch!
Colby says:
If you’ve been complaining a lot about your phone and comparing it to others, it means every second of your ebbing life revolves around your phone. You wake up every day without having real purpose in life. The people I know who have other important things to do are those who do not have the latest phones. They are simply too busy trying to tinker around their phone and walk in the mall showing off. And besides if you have the money, you will buy another phone and not criticize the company that made your unit. You’re practical, yes because you really didn’t have too much.
Abby says:
