Boldly going . . . The BlackBerry Bold 9780 smart phone marries familiarity and innovation

Research In Motion has unveiled the BlackBerry Bold 9780 smart phone. In addition to the iconic keyboard and optical trackpad, it is the first Bold model to ship with the new BlackBerry 6 operating system.

It supports 3G networks around the world, includes Wi-Fi with support for carrier-supported Wi-Fi calling (UMA where available) and GPS for location-based applications and geo-tagging. It has a 5 MP camera, 512 MB Flash memory and an expandable memory card slot that supports up to 32 GB of additional storage.

Camera features include continuous auto focus, scene modes, image stabilization, flash, and video recording.

The BlackBerry 6 OS retains the familiar feel while integrating a new WebKit-based browser, allowing fluid navigation using the handset’s optical trackpad. The maker says a zoom feature intelligently auto-wraps text in a column while maintaining the placement of a page’s key elements for easier viewing.

Additional features include expanded messaging capabilities with intuitive features to simplify the management of social networking and RSS feeds, and integrated access to BlackBerry Messenger, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and various instant messaging applications.
