LATEST MOBILE PHONE: BLACKBERRY BOLD 9780 »

  A fairly minor update from RIM, the BlackBerry Bold 9780 does a fairly minimal refresh of the Bold line. Will it attract new customers to BlackBerry? Probably not. See the original post: BlackBerry Bold 9780. Here's not much to say about the 9780, major changes from the previous version include a software update to the improved BlackBerry 6 operating system, a 5 megapixel camera (up from 3.2 megapixels), double the amount of internal Flash storage at 512MB

and that is about it. The 9780 shares the 9700's 480 x 360 pixel non-touch display, GPS, WiFi and 3.5G connectivity, Bluetooth, a microSD slot (with a 2GB card in the box), a multimedia player and a 3.5mm audio socket.

          Because this is a BlackBerry, it does all the usual things that a modern BlackBerry will do, including excellent messaging support and personal information management tools, there's a reasonable web browser which will be somewhat hampered by the small 2.44" display.

     The physical dimensions of the 9780 are identical to the 9700, coming in at 109 x 60 x 14mm and weighing 122 grams. The large 1500 mAh battery is quoted as giving up to 6 hours talktime and 17 days standby time on 3G.
