Meet the BlackBerry Bold 9790, Curve 9380
BlackBerry Bold 9790
Just announced in Jakarta, the BlackBerry Bold 9790 has a narrow QWERTY keyboard form factor, similar to the Bold 9700/9780. RIM calls it an evolution of the Bold form factor, which has also included wide QWERTY smartphones such as the recent 9900. The 2.45-inch LCD touch screen has a resolution of only 480x360 pixels (HVGA), which is rather low by the standards of midrange smartphones these days. Carlo Chiarello, RIM's handheld product management senior vice president, has assured us that it has the "right balance of resolution and LCD quality," resulting in good "blacks and contrast levels."
