Blackberry 9000 turns official and Bold

[steaner]

The heavily rumored new high-end Blackberry 9000 is finally out, not losing the numbers but adding a second name. Dubbed as Blackberry Bold, the new messaging smartphone strives to deliver much more than what is expected form a smartphone messenger - or at least what is expected form a Blackberry one anyways.
The new Blackberry Bold features a large TFT display with the same half-VGA resolution as the Apple iPhone's - 480 x 320 pixels. The Bold messenger packs in a new full QWERTY keyboard and runs on the latest Blackberry OS 4.6.
The Blackberry Bold makes use of a 624MHz processor and 1GB of on-board storage. It also has a microSD memory card slot with full support for 8GB microSDHC cards and a promise for 16GB support, one such large capacity cards become market available.
Identical to Blackberry 8830 in terms of size, the new Blackberry Bold is the allegedly the first Blackberry smartphone to feature tri-band HSDPA support besides the quad-band GSM/EDGE one. The Blackberry Bold is definitely is packed with goodies as it also flaunts an integrated GPS receiver and Wi-Fi.
A pair of stereo speakers, a 2 megapixel camera with LED flash, Bluetooth and a USB port all fill up the feature set.

Thanks for the video Vermithrax
the negative point of this blackberry is its 480 x 320 pixels resolution ...too small comparing the phone volume

I'll agree with you on that. If I would be limited to that resolution, I would rather go with the Touch Pro from HTC. At least then I would not be locked into the BB arena where everything is locked down.

The fine people over at xda are sure to have some nice mods for the Touch Pro.
