Why The Blackberry Bold 9780 Remains a Solid Choice

By David Lemora


Blackberries have become so famous and widely used that many people use the term "Blackberry" as a generic term, like "phone" or "computer," forgetting that it's a brand name. That famous line of products has now been transformed into the Blackberry Bold 9780 which is the latest development. The range of features and functions with the 9780 is robust and well-rounded in every sense. In this article we'll be looking at some of these features, along with some criticisms of the unit.

RIM (the company that makes the Blackberry) is trying to make better phones that can compete with the Iphone. They want more apps such as cellphone monitoring applications to be compatible with their phones.

In keeping with the trend towards social media, the Blackberry OS 6, available in the Blackberry Bold 9780, contains an app called Social Feeds. The Social Feeds application is all about organizations, and with it you will maintain any social account that you will ever want to use. The end result will be making any type of status change to the social site of your choice that you have stored in your Blackberry. If your friends reply to you with their own status updates, you can see it right away. With the help of apps that work with the different social sites, your Blackberry 9780 can make it simple to stay in touch with everybody.

Just like other smart phones, you can easily use the advanced features of the included media player to watch or listen to anything you like. You can watch videos on the high resolution screen, or enjoy songs from your playlist. Speakers are typical and standard on all smart phones, or there are facilities to listen to headphones, as well.

The screen of the Blackberry Bold is high resolution. You will be able to watch videos, view pictures, read and send email, and visit sites online with ease. Using Liquid Graphics technology, the clear, easy to read screen is a feature the Bold has which many other smart phones do not. You will notice an immediate difference in the clarity of the screen. You will notice less eye strain, especially after prolonged use of the phone. A high resolution screen is often too much for some smart phones to handle but the Blackberry Bold doesn't have any problems with the high resolution. The Bold is much like a home computer on the go.

Some people are reluctant to buy a Blackberry 9780 because the next model, the Torch 9800 has already been released. However avoid the sometimes mistaken assumption that the higher model number means better, faster and higher. All right, if you want to know the single primary difference between the two - the Torch 9800 has a touch screen and the other does not. With the popularity of tablet computers and iPads, this has become a popular feature, yet it's not something everybody cares about or even likes. That is pretty much it between those two models. You can make your choice among the two based on what you like to use.

Combined with features such as Universal Search, GPS and apps for social media, and your Blackberry is pretty much the only thing you need to stay connected. What you get with the Blackberry Bold 9780 is a lot of power in a very small phone. You have to know what you are looking for and what you want, so the Bold 9780 just may fill that desire. While some of the other Blackberry models, such as the earlier 9700 and the later 9800 are quite similar in many ways, the bottom line is that Blackberries are, on the whole, quite reliable and versatile devices.
