BlackBerry Bold 9780

Every year, it seems, RIM updates its flagship Bold line. In 2008 it released the original Bold 9000, and then in 2009 it got a significant upgrade to the Bold 9700. This past year RIM provided another update, the Bold 9780. Physically it is the exact same device, from the dimensions to the screen size and resolution. The upgrades come under the hood. The first is a 5 megapixel camera, which is a bit better than the 9700′s 3.2 megapixel model. The 9780 also comes with 512MB of on-board memory, which makes it suitable for an OS 6 upgrade.

BlackBerry Bold 9700

A year after releasing the original Bold, RIM updated the model. In place of the trackball is an optical trackpad, which makes for easier navigation without the hassles of the mechanical trackball. RIM reduce the size of the device in every dimension, including reducing the weight by a half ounce. The screen resolution also improved, to 480×360. While the 9700 does not contain the gigabyte of internal media memory, it does have twice the flash memory of its predecessor. While RIM’s focus for the Bold remains the business user, the 9700 has even more consumer appeal than the original Bold.

BlackBerry Bold 9000

In 2008 RIM released its first 3G device for GSM networks, the BlackBerry Bold. The device represented a step forward in many ways from the 88xx series. RIM included a camera on the Bold, and it also improved the display to 480×320 pixels. Like most previous BlackBerry models, the Bold was designed for the business user in mind, but it included enough features, including a gigabyte of internal memory for media storage, that it also held appeal for the personal user.

BlackBerry Bold 9650

The Bold 9650 is actually an update of the BlackBerry Tour 9630. Physically it measures just about the same as the original Tour, though it is a bit heavier. This is likely because RIM included Wi-Fi with the Bold 9650. The 9650 also features the optical trackpad in place of the trackball. Otherwise this device mirrors the Bold 9700, and is the featured enterprise device for CDMA carriers. It also has consumer appeal because of the screen resolution and media capabilities.
