blackberry bold 9780

BlackBerry 6 looks pretty good on a trackpad BlackBerry and the Bold 9780 is another device that is coming to market loaded with the latest OS. The latest video of the Bold 9780 doesn’t show anything we haven’t seen before, but it’s always cool to check out unreleased devices. Rumor has it that the Bold 9780 will be coming to AT&T in October and will feature the following specs:

  • 624MHz processor
  • 2.4″ HVGA display
  • QWERTY keyboard
  • 1500 mAh battery
  • 512MB memory
  • 5MP camera

As you can see, it’s nothing stellar in terms of specs and it’s more like a small step up from the Bold 9700.

Check out our review of BlackBerry 6.

    Interesting, you state that AT&T is rumored to be receiving the BlackBerry 9780 probably around October… AT&T just launched the Torch! AND, T-Mobile recently released a BARELY redesigned Curve. I understand the competition between carriers can be brutal but we normally do not see a single carrier launching two huge device releases in such a short amount of time.
    Let us also not forget that the earlier video of the 9780 clearly displays the T-Mobile brand as the unit is powered up AND the standard T-Mobile “Welcome” greeting.
    Reps at T-Mo have been either holding the release info in tight reins, or they really don't know anything. However, consider this, T-Mo has made excellent sales of the newer bold 97xx model. I believe T-Mo has made their selection of the newer BlackBerry models and sticking with the more “business” savvy Bold series rather than going with the “entertainment” focused (and gimmicky) Torch.
    Let's face the facts here, AT&T has a track record of featuring the more “toy-like” entertainment and gimmicky devices like the eye (candy) phone…

    Yes I love it! I just like the shape more… I think it is a user friendly phone. http://www.mocopan.com.au

    It's entirely possible for AT&T to carry two newer blackberry devices, especially considering the different styles of the phones. And like the 9700, why can't the 9780 be release on AT&T as well as T-Mobile?
