BlackBerry Bold 9790 review: Bold and the budget

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...

BlackBerry Bold 9790 Review

An excellent backup BlackBerry.

Excellent size and great battery life

Screen too small for touch, no HD video recording

The BlackBerry Bold 9790 has the same battery as the Bold 9900 which means that with a slower processor and a smaller screen, you should get better battery life out of the device. That works out quite well for the Bold 9790 which reminds you of the...

BlackBerry Bold 9790

RIM BlackBerry Bold 9790

The BlackBerry Bold 9790 had what you might call an enthusiastic reception in Indonesia, and now that RIM's latest entry-level smartphone has spread to Canada, we've had a chance to review it.

Solid battery life ; Reasonable pricetag ; Speedy and responsive

Dated operating system ; Less-than-premium construction ; Cramped keyboard compared to 9900

The main question with the Bold 9790 is "why would I want one with the 9900 available?" Well, the only thing that the 9900 practically boasts over the 9790 is the larger, sharper screen, but as far as I'm concerned, the gains in battery life more than...

Blackberry Bold 9790 Review

It is undoubtedly a decent enough phone. Unfortunately, the Bold 9790 does not seem to have the same aura as the Bold 9780 and the Bold 9900, and that is disappointing, more so if you are spending somewhere around Rs 27000 to buy this. Design cues have...

Slim and light form factor, Decent display, Comfortable QWERTY keypad

Lacks that premium feel, Menu and call keys have a clunky feel

Review: BlackBerry Bold 9790

RIM carves a niche for a lower-cost BlackBerry Bold.

Most of the Bold 9900 experience at a lower price ; Good keyboard and touchscreen ; Long battery life ; Solid build quality ; Reliable call quality ; Capable performer

Too close to the 9900's price in North America ; Sub-par camera, mainly for video ; BlackBerry 7 still hampered by legacy, few apps

The smartphone field is no longer as Western-centric as it used to be; it's seen madhouse lineups for BlackBerry phones for Indonesia that no smartphone maker would have seen a few years ago. With that in mind, RIM has taken the rare step of having
