Blackberry smartphones have remained consistently popular in recent years despite mounting competition from the likes of Apple and HTC. Generally speaking though, the majority of their handsets lack the level of technology found in its competitors’ devices.

Aside from the Blackberry Torch, the specifications of most Blackberry handsets remain relatively similar and have lacked the innovation that the market demands these days. The new Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 however, sees a new twist to the popular Bold range, and introduces some performance enhancing upgrades to both the hardware and software of this winning formula.

The Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 sees the addition of a 2.8 inch TFT touchscreen along with the classic Qwerty keyboard that the Bold range is known for. Therefore, users who send a lot of texts or emails are sure to find this the ideal handset. Blackberry has long been the choice of the business user, and the keyboard is also likely to provide ideal for this demographic, especially in conjunction with the phone’s ability to create and edit Microsoft office documents such as word docs and excel ...
... spreadsheets.

With 8 GB of internal storage provided as standard, the Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 offers plenty of scope for storing all manner of file types from music tracks and videos, to photos and office documents and applications downloaded from Blackberry App World. Also, the handset comes with a microSD slot, which can accommodate a memory card of up to 32 GB, so users can potentially have up to 40 GB of total storage capacity at their disposal.

When you need to access the internet on the go, the Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 is on hand to provide speeds of up to 14.4 megabytes per second in areas with 3G coverage. Additionally, it also allows users to browse over Wi-Fi networks, be they in the home, office or public location. The latter is also ideal for those on a limited data plan as Wi-Fi browsing is free of charge provided you have the sufficient connection info such as passwords.

A 5 megapixel camera adds to the appeal of the device, providing very impressive quality still images as well as high definition video footage at 720p. The camera comes with a decent software package which includes the likes of geo-tagging, face detection, image stabilisation and LED flash, so it remains easy to use whilst producing pleasing results.

One of the biggest improvements over its predecessors is the processor. At 1.2 GHz it even outdoes the majority of its competition in this department. This feature provides enhanced performance in many tasks, from web browsing, running of applications, multitasking and operating the touchscreen.

The new Blackberry OS 7.0 makes an appearance as the operating system of choice, and gives users an easy to use and customisable platform from which to work. In conjunction with its hardware, it makes for a versatile package which is ideal for many different types of user from the business user or student to the multimedia enthusiast.

The versatility and powerful specifications of the Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 means its success is all but assured, and likely to be welcomed with open arms by existing Blackberry fans.
