BlackBerry Bold 9790 review: Bold and the budget

27 January 2012
Oh, look - it's another BlackBerry Bold! But what's the catch? And where is the difference really? Sure it looks a bit smaller than the 9900 but it's the same QWERTY / touchscreen combo. So far, so good. Now, let's play spot the difference...

            Keep away from it, average camera, touch screen can be annoying with accidental touch dials, screen is not a huge improvement, my bb crashed and reset itself every second day, mostly battery life is horrible, heavy users will last until 3pm same day without recharge!

                  It DOES have radio ! And if you buy good headset, audio output is incredibly good (better than s2, wave2)

                          better release nothing than release this and confirm the fact that you re out of ideas

                                    I wonder why blackberry can not come up with a good design that has the same features as the 9900 with durable qualities unlike poor battery of d 9900 n hanging we do xpirience in d fon couple wif d muting that will disable ur mouth piece n ear piece at d same time.
