RIM -- BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930


Research In Motion today has unveiled its latest additions to its Bold series of smartphones, the RIM BlackBerry Bold 9900 and the BlackBerry Bold model number 9930. RIM's new BlackBerrys look very much like the company's other traditional Qwerty handsets, but now it also includes a 2.8-inch, VGA (640 x 480) capacitive touch screen-- a very nice and welcomed new addition.
Those two new smartphones will also run the latest BlackBerry 7 operating system, which brings support for increased reality video applications via a built-in magnetometer and faster browser and graphics performance, and also sports a 1.2 GHz Snapdragon CPU and NFC (near field communications) technology for secure mobile payments.
The new devices all feature Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS functionality, with the BlackBerry Bold 9900 offering quad-band GSM, tri-band HSPA+ support and the BlackBerry Bold 9930 offering dual-mode CDMA/EV-DO Revision A/GSM support.
Both are expected to ship globally sometime in July or August, and it looks like T-Mobile has already committed to bringing the BlackBerry Bold 9900 to market later in 2011 as its first 4G-capable BlackBerry device.

Research In Motion added that these are the thinnest BlackBerrys to date and highlighted the mobile handsets' 5-megapixel camera with 720 pixel high-definition video recording capabilities and 8 Gigs of internal memory.
Wireless Industry News will soon bring more details about the pricing, additional wireless carrier support, and specific release dates as they become available.
