Bold 9930

Not everyone wants a smartphone with an all touchscreen display. I struggled with this when shopping for my latest phone, but ended up buying an all touchscreen design, simply because it was a deal I couldn't pass up. Given the choice, I would want exactly what the latest BlackBerry has to offer – both a touch display and a full QWERTY keyboard. The new BlackBerry Bold 9930 is also the thinnest BlackBerry to-date (just 10.5 mm) and is powered by the new BlackBerry 7 OS, giving it better web navigation and document-editing functions - features that make it great for both personal and work use. If you want to get your hands on one (unfortunately I have to wait), the BlackBerry Bold 9930 is available online now at www.verizonwireless.com or you can pick it up in-store on August 25 for $249.99.

In addition to the details above, the Bold 9930 features a 2.8-inch touchscreen display (640 x 480), Full backlit QWERTY keyboard with trackpad navigation, 1.2 GHz processor, Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, and a microSD card slot with support for cards up to 32 GB. It also has a 5-megapixel camera with flash and 720p HD video recording capabilities. Read more
