BlackBerry Bold 9780 in Malaysia Price, Specs & Review

Take the recently reviewed BlackBerry Style, convert it to a candybar style body by axing the clamshell with front LCD screen, and you have the BlackBerry Bold 9780. Just like the BlackBerry Style, the Bold 9780 sports the latest BlackBerry 6 OS, 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, and full QWERTY keyboard. BlackBerry 6 has brought many improvements to RIM's latest lineup of handsets, and the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is no different from the latest crop of speed demons.

BlackBerry Bold 9780 - Design & Build:

The BlackBerry Bold 9780 sports all the design flaws that we found with the 9700, like the tacky faux-leather back, the 3.5mm audio port on the side of the phone rather than the top, and the side key that’s too hard to trigger.

On the plus side, it also means a sturdy build – the Bold line can take a seriously clattering, unlike many massive glass touchscreen smartphones – an optical trackpad that never fails, and a sharp 480×360 resolution screen that’s vastly more visible than any high end touchscreen phone outdoors.
