The guys over at the BerryFix have obtained some photos of the upcoming BlackBerry Bold 9800, which will feature RIM’s new BlackBerry OS 6, and is expected to go on sale sometime this summer, probably July.
Anticipated Features of BlackBerry Bold 9800
Unfortunately, we don’t have any specifications for the BlackBerry Bold 9800 as yet, the one picture above is probably a pre-production model. However, based on the images and the typical features of BlackBerry devices, we can speculate on some of the potential features. The BlackBerry Bold 9800 is expected to come with a full QWERTY keyboard, which has been a hallmark of BlackBerry devices, making them popular among business professionals for their ease of typing.
The new BlackBerry OS 6 is anticipated to bring a range of improvements and new features. This could include a more intuitive user interface, enhanced multimedia capabilities, and better integration with social media platforms. The OS is also expected to offer improved web browsing capabilities, which has been a significant area of development for RIM.
Potential Impact on the Market
The release of the BlackBerry Bold 9800 could have a significant impact on the smartphone market. BlackBerry devices have traditionally been favored by business users for their robust email capabilities and secure communication features. With the introduction of BlackBerry OS 6, RIM is likely aiming to attract a broader audience, including younger users who are more interested in multimedia and social media features.
The timing of the release is also crucial. If the BlackBerry Bold 9800 is indeed launched in July, it will be entering a competitive market with other major releases expected around the same time. This includes potential new models from Apple and Android-based devices, which have been gaining popularity.
As soon as we get some more details on the specifications and when the BlackBerry Bold 9800 is going to be released we will let you guys know. The anticipation is building, and many are eager to see how RIM’s new offering will stack up against the competition.
