Running BlackBerry 7 OS, the 9810 will have a 1.2GHz processor, 3.2-inch touchscreen display, 8GB of onboard memory (with microSD expansion up to 32GB), and a 5 megapixel camera with 720p HD video capabilities. It’ll ship for $49.99 after rebates and a two-year contract.

RIM noted that in combination with the already-announced Bold 9900, these smartphones will launch on more than 225 carriers around the world. “This is the largest global launch of BlackBerry smartphones in our history,” said RIM Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis in a statement. “The BlackBerry solution offers a best-in-class mobile communications experience that customers love and we think they will be thrilled by the faster performance, enhanced browsing and richer multimedia delivered by these powerful new BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Torch smartphones.” The new Torches and the Bold 9900 will begin rolling out later this month.

Research In Motion Introduces New BlackBerry 7 Smartphones

Largest Global Launch of BlackBerry Smartphones Ever With More Than 225 Partners Around the World

Waterloo, ON – Research In Motion (RIM) (NASDAQ: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today announced plans to launch 5 new BlackBerry® smartphones based on the BlackBerry® 7 Operating System (OS).  RIM, in conjunction with carriers and distribution partners around the world, is rolling out two new BlackBerry® Bold™ models and three new BlackBerry® Torch™ models, all running the powerful new BlackBerry® 7 OS.

The launch of this family of handsets will be RIM’s largest global launch ever and more than 225 carriers and distribution partners have already commenced or completed over 500 certification programs for these 5 new handsets.

Featuring RIM’s next generation of hardware and software platforms, these five new BlackBerry 7 based smartphones offer users a variety of designs to choose from and deliver the ultimate in communications, multimedia and productivity.

The new BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900 and 9930 are RIM’s thinnest smartphones ever, each offering a large keyboard and brilliant touch display. The new BlackBerry® Torch™ 9810 smartphone builds on the popularity of the BlackBerry® Torch™ 9800 and combines a large touch display with a convenient slide-out keyboard. The BlackBerry® Torch™ 9850 and 9860 introduce an all-new, all-touch design featuring the largest display on a BlackBerry® smartphone to date.

“This is the largest global launch of BlackBerry smartphones in our history,” said Mike Lazaridis, President and Co-CEO of Research In Motion. “The BlackBerry solution offers a best-in-class mobile communications experience that customers love and we think they will be thrilled by the faster performance, enhanced browsing and richer multimedia delivered by these powerful new BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Torch smartphones.”

Next-Generation BlackBerry 7 OS
BlackBerry 7 introduces a next generation BlackBerry browser with a significantly faster, more fluid web browsing experience that is among the best in the industry. Combining the dramatically improved performance of the advanced WebKit browser engine together with the powerful hardware enhancements found in the BlackBerry 7 based smartphones delivers browsing  results that are up to 40% faster than BlackBerry® 6 based smartphones and up to 100% faster than BlackBerry® 5 based smartphones*.  Additional enhancements to this next generation BlackBerry browser have also optimized zooming and panning for smoother web navigation and optimized HTML5 performance for incredible gaming and video experiences.

RIM’s new BlackBerry 7 based smartphones also feature Liquid GraphicsTM technology, with each smartphone combining a dedicated high-performance graphics processor with a blazingly fast CPU and stunning high resolution display to deliver a highly responsive touch interface with incredibly fast and smooth graphics.

In addition, BlackBerry 7 based smartphones continue the tradition of delivering the world’s best mobile communications experience with a highly refined and integrated suite of phone, email, messaging and social apps to keep users connected and productive throughout the day. Recent enhancements include the newest release of BBM™ (BlackBerry® Messenger) which now extends the real time BBM experience to a range of other apps (see separate announcement on July 28, 2011). The updated Social Feeds (2.0) app has been extended to capture updates from media, podcasts, and favorites all in one consolidated view. The new Facebook® for BlackBerry smartphones (2.0) app introduces features like Facebook chat and BBM integration that makes it easier for users to connect with their Facebook friends in real time.

BlackBerry 7 OS also includes a number of other pre-loaded applications and integrated functionality for increased productivity and collaboration right out of the box. The Premium version of Documents To Go is now included free of charge, offering users powerful document editing features as well as a native PDF document viewer. BlackBerry® Protect is also pre-loaded**, offering customers the peace of mind that personal data can be backed up and secured in the cloud.  BlackBerry® Balance (announced May 2, 2011) is now integrated in BlackBerry 7, allowing users to enjoy the full BlackBerry smartphone experience for both work and personal purposes without compromising the IT department’s need for advanced security and IT controls. And further, the popular universal search capability has been enhanced with support for voice-activated search, so users can now simply speak to begin searching their device and the web for information.

A New Performance Driven Platform
RIM’s line up of next generation BlackBerry smartphones are built on a new performance driven platform powered by the latest BlackBerry software and hardware. In addition to supporting the new BlackBerry 7 OS, each smartphone also features a range of powerful hardware enhancements including a 1.2 GHz processor, HD video recording, 24-bit high resolution graphics, and advanced sensors enabling new augmented reality applications such as Wikitude that can be seamlessly integrated with BBM 6 – all designed to deliver the ultimate in communications, multimedia and productivity for users around the world.

BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930 Smartphones with Touch Display and Keyboard
The BlackBerry Bold 9900 series is the thinnest BlackBerry smartphone yet (at only 10.5mm) and the first to offer the perfect union of a high performance keyboard and touch display integrated within the iconic BlackBerry Bold design. The new BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930 are also the first BlackBerry smartphones to include built-in support for NFC (Near Field Communications), a new technology that is  enabling many new and exciting capabilities, including the ability to pair accessories or read SmartPoster tags with a simple tap of the smartphone. Distinguished by its beautiful design, amazingly effective keyboard and brilliant touch display, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 series is crafted with premium materials including a brushed stainless steel frame that puts the finishing touch on a truly outstanding smartphone.

BlackBerry Torch 9810 Smartphone with Touch Display and Slide-Out Keyboard
Building on the popular design of the BlackBerry Torch 9800, the new BlackBerry Torch 9810 is faster and more fluid with high performance hardware features and the new BlackBerry 7 OS delivering an enhanced multimedia experience. Featuring a large 3.2”, high resolution touch display and a distinctive BlackBerry keyboard that easily slides out to allow faster typing, the BlackBerry Torch 9810 truly delivers the best of both worlds.

All-Touch BlackBerry Torch 9850 and 9860 Smartphones
The BlackBerry Torch 9850 and 9860 smartphones offer the fast, fluid BlackBerry 7 experience in a stylish new all-touch design. With a spectacular new 3.7” display, the largest ever on a BlackBerry smartphone, the new all-touch BlackBerry Torch 9850 and 9860 smartphones are optimized for displaying web pages, photos, videos, and powerful gaming experiences and still deliver the real-time communication and collaboration experience loved by millions of BlackBerry smartphone users around the world.

Availability
The next generation of BlackBerry smartphones will begin to be available from carriers around the world starting later this month. Availability dates for specific devices from specific carriers will be announced in conjunction with RIM’s partners.

Bold 9900 is a good looking phone and it’s the slimmest BlackBerry yet. When the phone was announced, T-Mobile USA was the first one to grab it but now it looks like T-Mobile USA is not alone anymore because our friends over at Pocket-Lint  are saying that Vodafone and Three UK will also launch this device. It’s also the fastest BlackBerry yet with 1.2 GHz processor and the first one to feature NFC capabilities. T-Mobile USA is launching this device later this year, so I think Vodafone and Three UK will also launch it later this year.

I think this is very good news for all the BlackBerry owners in UK. As competition between mobile networks in UK is very strong, my sixth sense is saying that other UK carriers i.e. Orange, T-Mobile, O2 etc. will also launch the Bold 9900. So BlackBerry lovers in UK, are you getting the device later this year?

Although it follows the familiar design pattern of other BlackBerry Bold handhelds, the screen on the Bold 9900 is significantly bigger and sharper than its predecessors, at 2.8″ diagonal size and 640 x 480 pixels resolution. It’s a capacitive touchscreen, and although much smaller than a “traditional” touchscreen smartphone, it is bigger than the one on the competing Nokia E6.

The keyboard is well designed and quite possibly the best in class. The little touchpad controller on recent BlackBerry handsets is easy to use and almost makes the touchscreen unnecessary.

Inside the Bold 9900 is a very fast 1.2 GHz processor combined with 768MB of RAM, which is a lot of power for a handset such as this, and it certainly makes it powerful enough for multimedia playback and gaming.. assuming that the smallish screen isn’t a problem for you. There’s also a generous 8GB of onboard Flash memory plus a microSD slot.

The operating system is the latest BlackBerry 7 OS, and from what we have seen the user interface at least is a huge improvement over the one found in versions 6 and 5, which is frankly pretty ghastly and not up to the standards of the competition. The usual suite of BlackBerry applications are bundled plus a premium version of “Docs to Go”. This new operating system will not be available for older handsets, which may disappoint many existing BlackBerry users.

On the back is a 5 megapixel camera capable of 720p video recording (the Bold 9900 can also play back 720p video too). Inside, the Bold 9900 supports GPS, has a built in digital compass, accelerometer and a proximity sensor.

This is a tri-band HSPA+ device with support for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi networks plus quad-band GSM. There is also a BlackBerry Bold 9930 variant which adds CDMA/EVDO support for US networks. The Bold 9900 also supports Bluetooth 2.1. The whole package weighs 130 grams and measures 115 x 66 x 10.5mm including the 1230mAh battery.

Although the Bold 9900 is clearly a useful improvement over previous models, it is only really likely to attract existing BlackBerry users looking for an upgrade. It’s worth bearing in mind that RIM shocked investors by recently issuing a warning about profits, and their new PlayBook tablet has had some very poor reviews. RIM really need to take some of the expertise that is clearly apparent here and make something that will claw back some market share.

We suspect though that many existing BlackBerry users will want the Bold 9900 very much indeed. It should be available this summer, and although no guidance is available on price, we would estimate that it will be a little cheaper than the Torch, so perhaps retailing at about €400 to €450 at launch.

While the device and its new OS have leaked  before, this is the first time when the source is RIM itself. We know for sure now, that the upcoming BlackBerry Bold Touch will be running BlackBerry 7 OS (not the rumored 6.1), and that, unfortunately, it won’t be QNX based. All that we are left with now, is to stay tuned for the official announcement at the BlackBerry World Conference.

P.S. The PlayBook in the back of the picture is running a yet unannounced Facebook app. Interesting, isn’t it?

The Touch 9860 “Monza” will have the highest-resolution screen in a BlackBerry today, according to the early specs. It’ll have a 3.7-inch 800 x 480 display, 5 megapixel camera with 720p video recording, 1.2 GHz processor, 768 MB of RAM, and 4 GB of internal storage. The big stars of the device will be a near-field communications chip, which will most commonly be used for tap-and-go payments, and the magnetic compass, which will enable augmented reality applications.

The big BlackBerry World show is coming up fast, and we’re expecting at least the Bold Touch to get announced, but it would be hard to imagine carriers not making their own BlackBerry announcements shortly thereafter, considering summer is right around the corner. The next breed of RIM handsets are mostly iterative and simply keeping pace with specs, but the push for NFC is more aggressive than we’ve seen from any other manufacturer, and as a result, I suspect RIM will be early in forming partnerships with banks and other financial institutions to actually make use of it all.

Unlike the other Curve models, this one drops the keyboard and relies on the touchscreen exclusively.So much so that the new mockups of the BlackBerry Curve Touch appear to have dropped even the trackpad.

We wouldn’t put too much stock in those images though, they seem kind of wonky (in the side views, what are those bumpy things on the bottom half of where the touchscreen should be?).

Still, a more certain rumor (as far as rumors can be certain) is that the BlackBerry Curve Touch will be announced at BlackBerry World next month with a June or July launch. T-Mobile will reportedly be carrying the phone.

The Curve Touch is the GSM version of the BlackBerry Malibu, both of which should have an 800MHz processor, 512MB RAM, 3.25” HVGA screen and 5MP camera with HD video recording.

BlackBerry World will take place 3-5 May and if these rumors pan out, we’ll see the BlackBerry Curve Touch go official then.

Aside from that, the Sedona was already looking in pretty good shape: 5 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3G, and near-field communications chip to make contactless payments and execute other tap-and-go tasks. The status of a digital compass in the Sedona was up in the air, so that could be another addition we see in the Orlando to further differentiate it.

The BlackBerry 9300 and 8520/30 had clearly relegated the Curve family to the lower, entry-level tier of devices, but it’s looking like the next generation might be a different story. Most of the RIM leaks lately have come attached with rumours of an announcement at BlackBerry World next month, so it’s not unreasonable to hope this one comes out too (especially considering the show is taking place in Orlando, Florida). Three devices would be a busy show by RIM’s standards, but if they wanted to really blow our socks off, they could announce the whole stable of five or six devices they have lined up. That’s probably more wishful thinking than anything, but what would you guys like to see at BB World?

Phone comes under the category of smart phone and it contains 3.2 inches TFT capacitive touch screen. It also has QWERTY keypad, optical trackpad, multi-touch input method and proximity sensor for auto turn-off. Company also provides good battery backup to consumers up to 6 hours.

Blackberry torch 9800 white is equipped with GPRS, EDGE, 3G, WLAN, Bluetooth, and USB port. This beautiful gadget is loaded with 5mega pixel camera with auto-focus, LED flash, Geo-tagging, continuous auto focus, and image stabilization. Phone is compatible with blackberry operating system 6.0 and 624 MHz processor. With the help of widget, individual can access SMS, MMS, Email, push Email, and instant messenger.

It is one of the best phones that have been introduced by blackberry. It supports HTML browser for website access. Now, users can access popular websites effectively, like facebook, orkut, twitter, myspace, and many more. It also comes along with 4GB internal memory with 512MB RAM and 512 MB ROM.

The BlackBerry Curve Touch features a 3.25 inch HVGA touchscreen display with a resolution of 480 x 360 pixels, processing comes for a MSM 8655 800MHz CPU, and this is the first Curve that will come without a physical keyboard instead it will feature a virtual QWERTY keyboard.

Other specifications include a five megapixel camera which is capable of recording HD video in 720p, there is also 1GB of flash and 512MB of RAM plus a microSD card slot.

The BlackBerry Curve Touch will feature integrated 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, plus GPS, and it looks like it will also offer support for NFC, and will come with a microUSB port and Bluetooth 2.1.

There are no details as yet on when the BlackBerry Curve Touch will be available as soon as we get some more information we will let you guys know.
