BlackBerry Bold (previously known as Bold Touch) 9900/9930 (UMTS/CDMA), the BlackBerry Torch 9810 and Torch 9860/9850 (UMTS/CDMA), which was previously rumored by the names of BB Touch and Monza. All the devices are powered by single-core 1.2GHz processors with 768MB RAM and all have NFC support.
The BlackBerry Bold (also known as Bold Touch) is the thinnest BlackBerry device so far at 10.5mm. It runs the BlackBerry OS 7, and utilizes a 1.2GHz CPU, 8 gigs of expandable memory and a 2.8" VGA (640x480) 287 dpi (close to the Retina's 326 dots per inch) capacitive touchscreen. It has a 5 MP autofocus camera with 720p video recording. In terms of looks, it takes after the previous line of Bold devices with no significant changes to the exterior. It's made out of high-quality brushed stainless steel
The BlackBerry Torch 9810 is a touchscreen device with a slide-down QWERTY keyboard. It has 253 dpi screen, 1.2GHz processor, NFC chip and will be powered by the BlackBerry OS 7. The Torch 9860 will be 11.5mm thick with a 15:9 aspect ratio screen, which is 3.69" with a WSVGA (800x480) resolution with 253 dpi. It also has 5 MP camera with autofocus and 720p video recording. Prior to this official announcement, the Torch 9860 was know by its codename, Monza.
RIM vows improved performance with new BlackBerry 7:
Research In Motion (NASDAQ:RIMM) unveiled its new BlackBerry 7 operating system at its annual BlackBerry World conference, promising improved performance and built-in support for Near Field Communications technology. Arriving this summer in conjunction with the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930 smartphones, BlackBerry 7 powers the new Liquid Graphics touchscreen, which touts faster, smoother performance for touch-based navigation, web browsing, pictures, video and graphics-intensive gaming--according to RIM, Liquid Graphics offers up to 60 frames-per-second performance with instant UI action/response. In addition to Liquid Graphics performance gains, the new BlackBerry 7 browser includes a new JIT (just in time) JavaScript compiler to improve webpage load time speeds alongside support for additional HTML5 elements.
BlackBerry 7 also introduces support for NFC technologies, enabling consumers to access information by tapping their device to a smart tag--presumably, RIM will eventually extend the platform's NFC capabilities to include contactless payments. Also new: Voice-activated search and BlackBerry Balance, which separates personal content from corporate content on the smartphone, enabling users to share social networking information, play games and explore other consumer apps while still adhering to enterprise demands for data management and security.
RIM's seven new BlackBerry phones:
BlackBerry maker RIM said that it would release seven new smartphones running its "next-generation" BlackBerry 7 OS, according to The Guardian. If you believe Boy Genius Report (which has a solid track record on RIM information), those include the Bold 9900/9930, a combination touchscreen/keyboard phone introduced in May; the Torch 9810, a sliding-keyboard phone like the existing Torch; the Curve 9350/9360, and the Torch 9850/9860, which are full-touchscreen phones like the old BlackBerry Storm.
But BlackBerry 7 isn't a solution to RIM's problems, it isn't "next generation," and these phones aren't new. BlackBerry 7 is an incremental update to the existing RIM phone experience, these phones have been in carrier approval channels for months, and they look and work a lot like existing BlackBerries. Once again, RIM's management isn't giving its customers what they need.
RIM scraps BlackBerry App World developer ID notarization rule:
In the wake of a much-discussed developer rant against the logistical difficulties of creating software for Research In Motion's (NASDAQ:RIMM) BlackBerry platform, RIM has responded with a significant change in its BlackBerry App World developer agreement, abandoning the requirement that partners submit a notarized proof of identification to distribute their applications through the storefront. "We learned that this has become a pain point for some developers, so we have been working behind the scenes to remove this barrier," BlackBerry Developer Relations and Developer Program head Tyler Lessard writes on the Inside BlackBerry Developer's Blog. "You still have to submit proof of identity, but now that can be as simple as faxing or emailing a copy of your driver's license."
