BlackBerry Bold 9780

Canadian mobile provider Research in Motion (RIM) has pulled back the curtains on the BlackBerry Bold 9780, divulging details about its specifications and even hinting at a UK launch date.

The Bold 9780 follows in the footsteps of the 9700 containing several updates. Firstly the latest version of the BlackBerry OS is onboard, bringing a better web browsing experience and deeper social networking integration to the table.

The Bold 9780 does not diverge much from the standard BlackBerry layout of portrait QWERTY keypad and familiar black shell. The five megapixel camera will allow the smartphone to sit on a level pegging with RIM’s Torch gadjet in terms of photographic features.

The phone comes with Wi-Fi connectivity and Bluetooth are, the retail package should include a 2GB microSD memory card, although it seems that you can  supplement this with a larger card of their own.

RIM has not been too specific about the launch date of the BlackBerry Bold 9780 but it has said that it will be coming in November, which means it could be just a few weeks away from a UK launch.

Judging by the initial specs, the BlackBerry Bold 9780 will appease those long time RIM fans who want an incremental upgrade to their existing phones.
