The BlackBerry Bold 9790 - An Alternative To The 9900

The 9900 is the smartphone of choice if you're a BlackBerry enthusiast. It comes with a metal ban around the casing that makes the phone classy. Furthermore, it comes with the latest features Research In Motion (RIM) has to offer. However, since this handset is the company's flagship, it is quite expensive. If you're looking for an alternative to this handset, RIM may have the phone that you have been looking for. This is the Bold 9790.

The phone may not look as classy as RIM's flagship. However, it sports similar dimensions and a similar feel. The phone also comes with a 2.45 inch touch screen that is slightly smaller compared to the 9900's 2.8 inch TFT capacitive touch screen. This means that users will enjoy a touch interface aside from the usually QWERTY keyboard.

Like most of Research In Motion's handsets, this smartphone comes with a QWERTY keyboard. This is ideal for people who have grown accustomed to having quick access to this age old input method. It allows users to enjoy the luxury of typing ease.

This means that you never have to worry about going over your monthly allotted text messages. Messages are coursed through the internet either through 3G or Wi-Fi. If messages are coursed through your 3G network, you only have to pay a minimum for unlimited messaging. If messages are coursed through public hotspots, you don't have to pay a thing for unlimited messaging. This is what RIM is known for.

Just like the 9900, the Bold 9790 comes pre-installed with the most current software Research In Motion has to offer. This is the BlackBerry 7.0 OS. This will allow users to enjoy from a more social experience. It comes with Facebook integration. This means that you will be able to get updates from friends in real-time. This software version also allows you to enjoy from an enhanced browser, Augmented Reality, and NFC (Near Field Communication).

As you can see, you no longer have to spend more just to get your hands on a 9900. RIM has chosen to create a cheaper version of the handset the BlackBerry Bold 9790. It may not look as classy. However, it sports similar functions and a similar feel. It is a great alternative to RIM's current flagship.
