BlackBerry Bold 9900 Philippines Price Php 31,000, Specs, Release Date: October 7, 2011
Let me tell you, it deserves the name Bold.
Metal-clad BlackBerry Bold 9900 will be officially released in the Philippines on October 7, 2011 with a suggested retail price of Php 31,000 without contract and with 2-years warranty.
Bringing Stunning Looks Back to the Bold Line
Not to take anything away from the look of BlackBerry Bold 9700 and 9780 but I don't really think they're anywhere near BlackBerry Bold 9000 (the phone that came before them) when it comes to elegance of design and construction. Flaunting metal band on its sides and faux leather at the rear and having a relatively massive build, Bold 9000 is probably one of the best-looking smartphones RIM has ever released.
As someone who's been following the development of RIM smartphones for sometime now, I find it relieving to know that RIM is bringing sheer grandeur back to the design of handsets under its flagship line. I know a lot of BlackBerry Bold fans who prefer the look of BB Bold 9000 over that of 9700, and for sure, they'll be glad to know that BlackBerry Bold 9900 - replete with brushed stainless steel frame - looks just like an updated version of their favorite BlackBerry handset from 2008.
Thin Yet Powerful!
BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the thinnest BB smartphone yet at only 10.5 millimeters, and the first to offer a combination of high performance BB keyboard, trackpad and capacitive touch display integrated within its iconic BlackBerry Bold design.
The new BlackBerry Bold 9900 is also the first BlackBerry smartphone to feature built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) Support. NFC is a new technology that is enabling many new capabilities, including the ability to pair with NFC-enabled accessories such as speakers and earphones or read SmartPoster tags with one tap of the smartphone.
Enhanced Browsing Experience
BlackBerry 7, the operating system of BlackBerry Bold 9900, introduces a next generation BlackBerry browser with a significantly faster and more fluid web browsing experience. Combining the improved performance of the advanced WebKit browser engine with the hardware enhancements in the BlackBerry Bold 9900, the BB 7 Browser delivers browsing speeds that are 40% faster than BlackBerry 6 based smartphones and up to 100% faster than BlackBerry 5 based smartphones.
