The Blackberry range of smartphones has recently seen the addition of several impressive new models such as the Bold 9780, 9800 Torch and Bold Touch 9900. The latter sees several new enhancements to the Bold range, such as the introduction of a touchscreen to the winning formula which includes a physical QWERTY keyboard.

Offering the best of both worlds, it caters to existing fans of the Bold range, but adds fresh appeal to the scores of smartphone users who like the functionality of a touchscreen. In this article I will look at the features offered by this model.

The Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 measures up at 115x 66x 10.5mm, so it is relatively compact yet provides a spec list which can compete with many of the high end smartphones which are proving so popular. The screen is dominated by both the physical QWERTY keyboard which allows users to quickly and easily create and edit Microsoft Office documents as well as sent emails and text messages quickly. The TFT capacitive touchscreen measures 2.8 inches, and adds a whole new level of functionality to browsing the new BB 7.0 user interface. Also, users can choose ...
... to utilise optical trackpad to navigate the software, a feature which has proven popular with previous Bold models.

With 8 GB of onboard storage available, the handset allows users to carry numerous files with them at all times. These range from music tracks, videos and photos to MC Office documents, meaning that the handset is ideal for all kinds of different users ranging from business users who are seeking a productivity tool, to multimedia enthusiasts who want a device which is compatible with a wide range of different media file formats.

As you may expect from a Blackberry smartphone, it is also a great web browsing device. With super fast download speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity, users have options when it comes to choosing the best connection type. For example, when you have access to a local wireless network, you can browse the web free of charge whilst enjoying a fast connection. This is ideal if you are on a limited data plan, as the data comes from the connection which the wireless network runs off.

Of course, the Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 comes with a built in digital camera. This operates at 5 megapixels, an improvement over the 3.2 MP unit found in most previous bold models. With 720p HD video capture, face detection, image stabilisation and an LED flash it provides everything you need to take quality photos and videos with the minimum of fuss.

Under the hood, a 1.2 GHz processor provides all the computing power necessary to run demanding applications, as well as make parts of the hardware such as the touchscreen respond instantly.

It is good to see that Blackberry has decided to enhance the winning formula of the Bold series. The Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 is likely to prove a massive hit, as the previous models were popular, but with the enhancements this device provides, it looks like the smartphone that many have been waiting for.
