Vodafone & T-Mobile releasing BlackBerry Bold 9780

Great news for folks over in the UK; the BlackBerry Bold 9780 will touch there soon. Two mobile network providers, Vodafone and T-Mobile, will be releasing BlackBerry’s new model soon. With all nations eagerly awaiting the launch of Windows Phone 7, it’s left to see how any other brands will fare in the market at the moment.

Speaking of Windows Phone 7, since all the limelight was on Microsoft’s operating system for over two months now other OS do not want to be blinded by the entire WP7 glare. So RIM set out to release its newest model, the BlackBerry Bold 9780 that will hopefully compete well with the newest WP7 devices.

The BlackBerry Bold 9780, formerly known as BlackBerry Bold R020, comes with a 2.44 inch 480 x 360 px HVGA display. The 5.0-megapixel camera phone comes with the usual features such as QWERTY keyboard, trackpad, hard keys and media keys as found on the previous BlackBerry models. It works on a 624 MHz processor. It will be released on a 2-year contract with customers paying £30 per month (T-Mobile) or £35 per month (Vodafone).
