AT&T Announces Availability And Pricing For New BlackBerry Line-Up
Despite RIM’s successive screw-ups (including a massive server outage that left thousands of customers without BBM or internet service… twice), there are still some hardcore BlackBerry fans out there. If you’re one of them, feel free to breathe a sigh of relief because the only news I bring you today is the announcement of three new BlackBerry models for AT&T: the BlackBerry Bold 9900, the BlackBerry Torch 9860, and the BlackBerry Curve 9360.
Then again, it’s not even noon yet.
The BlackBerry Bold 9900 looks and feels very similar to its predecessors. It packs the standard QWERTY keyboard RIM clings so tightly to, along with a 2.8-inch touchscreen display. A 1.2GHz processor is under the hood along with 768 MB of RAM, 8GB of on-board memory, a memory card slot, and support for AT&T’s 4G network. You’ll also find a 5-megapixel rear camera capable of video capture in 720p, with BlackBerry 7 OS running the show. The phone has earned MasterCard’s PayPass NFC certification, along with the Curve 9360. The Bold 9900 will go for $199.99 on-contract on November 6.
