Research In Motion today announced two new BlackBerries, the Bold 9790 and Curve 9380. Both devices run the newer BlackBerry 7 operating system and include touch screens.
- Bold 9790: This smartphone is a standard monoblock QWERTY device that has a full keyboard for emails and messaging. RIM notes that it has a 2.45-inch capacitive touch VGA display with 246 dpi resolution, optical trackpad, and slim design. Other features include a 1GHz processor, 8GB of on-board storage (expandable by an additional 32GB), and camera with flash. RIM says the 9790 has an improved browser with better HTML5 and JavaScript powers, as well as built-in support for Augmented Reality and NFC.
- Curve 9380: This is a brand new take on the Curve series, as it eliminates the keyboard entirely and is instead a full touch phone. The display measures 3.2 inches and the Curve 9380 also has an optical trackpad and BlackBerry controls. It includes a 5-megapixel camera with video capture and is preloaded with social networking software, such as Facebook, Twitter, and RIM's BBM 6 platform.
