RIM keeping familiar Bold design with Bold 9790

by on September 12, 2011

What you see above is not the Bold 9650 or 9780 up against the Bold 9900. Instead, it’s an unreleased BlackBerry, the 9790. As noted in my BlackBerry Bold 9930 review, RIM changed the design slightly this time around, creating a thinner but wider device. I prefer it to the other Bold designs, but there are surely BlackBerry geeks who would rather have the narrower, thicker device. This one is for them. The Bold 9790 brings the same under-the-hood improvements as the other new BlackBerry models, including the all important 1.2GHz processor and the touchscreen. It just comes in a different shell. Apparently this could drop sometime in October, presumably on GSM carriers. Maybe this is what AT&T will get instead of the Bold 9900. Via BGR
