BlackBerry Bold 9790 leaks again through tutorial videos

A couple of months after it was first spotted, the BlackBerry Bold 9790 is again peeking from under RIMs covers. Also known as the Bellagio, the Bold 9790 is similar to the Bold Touch 9900, with a touchscreen display, 8GB internal memory and running the new BlackBerry OS 7. Which begs the question, why RIM would want to release two similar phones?

Anyway, there is no official word about the phone yet and for now all we have are these three tutorial videos showing off the multi-touch functionality of the display, the keys on the sides and a view of whats under the battery cover.

For all we know, RIM canned this phone in favor of the Bold Touch 9900. Then again RIM did say they were planning to launch a lot more Mobile Phones in the coming phones. Perhaps they forgot to mention they were going to be mostly similar.

BlackBerry Playbook

RIM has announced their first tablet computer, Blackberry Playbook. BlackBerry Naming Playbook beyond belief among many who had expected a tablet PC or RIM will be named Blackpad Surfbook or Surfboard. In fact the facts say another, Playbook is the name selected and announced by RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis yesterday at their annual developer event in San Francisco's Blackberry 2010.

Like most tablet computers, its slim and thin as a board - hence called also slate - with a weight of 400 grams and measures 7 inc like the ideal screen size Samsung Galaxy Tab.

The naming of this tablet rada Play for a little intriguing, because Play is sometimes said negative impression; Playgirl and Playboy. Surfbook actually name the most appropriate, because using the tablet just like reading the book (book) which is as characteristic of a tablet computer and Surf words indicate that with the owner of this tablet will surf the vast sea of ​​internet communication as well. Moreover, the RIM to target the business as a buyer, so naming Play seem to be inappropriate.

But certainly the naming of Play on the tablet PC is not without reason. Info as far as I can, because this tablet "full support" to all Flash-based content. Likewise all flash games. IPad satirize all that does not support Flash, except by downloading jalbreak his first, and even then the result is not optimal.

Besides getting a warm welcome, Playbook also get a ripple in disappointment. Because not (yet) support Blackberry applications. This can be understandable, because the OS is in use rather than the Blackberry OS, but OS QNX and then change its name to the OS on Blackberry Tablet. So it takes time to make all applications to be compatible with BB this tablet.

Therefore Playbook will be officially released to the public early in 2011, to allow time for all the BB application developers to synchronize. At the same time giving RIM the opportunity to learn the tablet market and start exploring the possibilities of competition with Samsung with his Galaxy Tab, IPAD second generation and Android tablet computers in those days.

RIM aims to launch 7 new BlackBerries this year

RIM is obviously not having the best of times recently, but it certainly hasn't lost its fighting spirit. The company plans to launch seven new BlackBerry smartphones before this year ends, which is ambitious, to say the least.

What's more, the new handsets will all be running on RIM's next-gen OS - whether that is BB OS 7 or the long rumored new OS based on QNX. That should basically be the smartphone-friendly version of the BlackBerry Tablet OS, which we really enjoyed, when we reviewed the BlackBerry PlayBook.

Of course, RIM admits that launching so many new devices in just five months will be quite challenging. The company's co-CEO Jim Balsillie has expressed his belief that they will indeed be able to release the seven new smartphones, which will enable them to meet the year's financial targets, despite the weak first two quarters.

We are quite eager to see what those products will be like. The company obviously had some pretty great ideas with the PlayBook, but that one just wasn't polished enough to become a best-seller.

10 Reasons to Stay Blackberry Will Exist

RIM is currently in a situation that is less wear. Many are predicting that mobile phones with fuel age will not be long anymore. Many have lashed out, many are also flattering.
Here are 10 reasons that the Blackberry phones will still exist:

1. Security

If RIM is more focused on the security, then people will still look for the Blackberry. Although the current iPhone, Android, and RIM's market erode WP7 start, but the Blackberry mobile security remains the primary selling points are not owned by competitors. possessed only one model of iPhone mobile phone. Apple continues to improve security on the iPhone and corporate support for the iPhone but still not achieve what is currently owned by RIM.

Since Microsoft is more focused on the corporate consumer market in WP7, the phone-based mobile operating system is found in the future will be more features that the consumer-centric corporate so that the series is still the territory of RIM. Android does not count in this section because the operating system that is open, then open is also a great opportunity to threaten the security of a system.

2. Brand

The name of the Blackberry is still one of the reasons people to buy this phone. Especially for those who are lovers of the QWERTY keyboard.

3. Physical buttons

True if this time is menggandrungi smartphone touch screen design. But Blackberry is born as a phone with physical keys and QWERTY keyboard will always remain so without being affected by the design of a full touchscreen. If there are people who are looking for a phone with QWERTY keypad, then the Blackberry is one of the best options.

4. QNX

This new platform looks promising when paired in the Playbook. The fact that RIM will use this platform on Blackberry phones will certainly increase the passion of consumers against the Blackberry mobile phone.

5. Occurrences Playbook

Many people scoff when they released Playbook RIM to compete with the iPad. While it is ultimately just a month iPad missed by the punguk, but Playbook be a sign that the emergence of new Blackberry OS is getting closer. The new OS also dikakakan will combine with the tablet OS smartphone OS so it will be increasingly integrated with one another. As Apple has done in the IOS and will be conducted by Google at the Ice Cream Sandwich and Microsoft on Windows 8.

6. The void in the market dominance of the lower middle

Forget the upscale market currently dominated by Apple and Android phone, the Blackberry would be better if the market targeting middle class down. It is already terlamapau market tightness, but no one becomes a very dominant here. Nokia has long dominated this part gradually been eroded and this can be an opportunity for RIM to come in and dominate the market with the Blackberry. iPhone is clearly not playing in this area, Windows 7 Phone is too expensive for the middle class, Symbian is not too competitive, then the RIM still has a chance in the middle market.

7. Operators still need a Blackberry

Software development company is one of major unrest operators because each OS is presented will have an easy and inexpensive way to communicate without using SMS or telephone. This certainly can reduce the revenue the operator of such basic services. Google's Android is said to be the operator of the world's biggest worry because Google will further siphon data communications carriers, thereby reducing the use of SMS and phone. Basically, the operator enjoys a few options and they do not really want Android to dominate the market and they will balance with the Blackberry Android. Dikatakakan Curve Series a favorite choice for affordable so that operators can compete with Android phones.

8. Dependence on fuel

This is RIM's secret weapon pemungkas. Fuel has long been the biggest reason people choose Blackberry phones. Fuel is a chat service that can only be used kesesama Blackberry users. With the level of security and data ekripsi, fuel proved successful as a chat platform that is safe and reliable. In fact it is this which makes RIM have to deal with some countries because the country's government can not fuel the population to access services. But RIM should start worrying about Apple's new attacks on the IOS iMessage 5 with a little more in common with oil platforms.

9. There is still time for RIM to clean up

Nokia in this section is a good example of where the company is now led by Stephen Elop was waiting too long to clean up at the high end level so that they lagged behind its competitors d today. RIM's current situation is still better than Nokia. They still have a bit of time to be put to good use for quick clean up before it becomes too late. Cozza from Gartner said that RIM QNX can be a lifesaver in the future, but they must be quick.

10. RIM has survived and continues to rise for decades

RIM was founded in 1984. Means RIM has been for 27 years to live, survive, and continued to increase up to become popular as it is today. Although the state of RIM in the year 2011 is not too good, but many people believe RIM will be able to survive. Still according to Cozza from Gartner, if RIM is able to act quickly and make decisions appropriately, so RIM would still be the player's fourth-largest smartphone 2015.

BlackBerry Storm 2 Refresh still in the works; BlackBerry Torch 2 9850 is now the Volt

BlackBerryOS got a tip from someone on the endangered species list-a RIM insider-who told them the rumor that the BlackBerry Storm 2 Refresh is still alive and is being called the BlackBerry Monarch. While talk of a Storm 2 Refresh dates as far back as last September, it seems that RIM wanted to wait until they could load it up with the latest BlackBerry 7 OS. The device will resemble the BlackBerry Storm 2 Mobile Phone down to the SurePress Technology which means the clicking screen will be back, if this speculation pans out.

According to a tip from a RIM insider, the SurePress clicking keyboard, seen on the BlackBerry Storm, will be back on the BlackBerry Monarch

While SurePress is certainly an acquired taste for many, RIM would be playing this smart by eliminating the Storm name and starting over with the Monarch moniker. Unfortunately for RIM, hearing the name BlackBerry Storm brings back sour memories for many Verizon customers who expected an Apple iPhone competitor when the first BlackBerry touchscreen device was launched and instead, ended up with a phone that suffered from buggy, half-baked software. Not only did the accelerometer fail to work half the time, but the lack of Wi-Fi turned out to be a major design design flaw and the clicking touchscreen drove many batty. Eventually, with the launch of BlackBerry 5 OS, the original Storm became a serviceable device that was improved greatly with the sequel model (which included Wi-Fi). Still, killing off the Storm name is a good idea for a company that needs to look ahead to the future instead of looking back at the past.

The source also passed along the rumor that the BlackBerry Torch 9850/9860, which along with the BlackBerry Bold 9930 can now be found on the CelleBrite data extraction system as we reported earlier today, will be known as the BlackBerry Volt. While the original Torch wasn't nearly the mess that the Storm was, a disappointing set of specs kept sales down and the Torch 2 Volt 9850/9860 will have very competitive hardware and software on board.

CelleBrite System now includes BlackBerry Bold 9930 and BlackBerry Torch 9850

A screenshot shows that two eagerly awaited devices from RIM are now included in the CelleBrite System. The BlackBerry Bold 9930 and the BlackBerry Torch 9850 (aka the Torch 2) are seen on the CelleBrite machine's display. The system is used by carriers to extract information and data from one handset and add it to another. It is the device used by carriers to move things like your contacts from one model to another and while it is not a definitive signal, new devices often are seen on the CelleBrite machine just prior to being launched.

The BlackBerry Bold 9930 is the CDMA version of the device that RIM is counting on to give the company a lift. With a form factor similar to the design of the BlackBerry Bold 9000, including the latter's oft praised QWERTY keyboard, the BlackBerry Bold 9930 Mobile Phone adds a 2.8 inch touchscreen (that has looked quite responsive in early videos), the new BlackBerry 7 OS, and a browser that renders pages 40% faster than the WebKit browser on the BlackBerry Torch 9800.

;

The BlackBerry Bold 9930 and the BlackBerry Torch 9850 are both now on the CelleBrite System

Speaking of the BlackBerry Torch, the CDMA version of the sequel to that model, the BlackBerry Torch 9850 (aka the Torch 2) takes the same form factor of the original unit and pumps up the specs as we have reported. Considering that RIM has really improved upon the areas of the first-gen Torch 9800 that users complained about (the low-res screen, the slow processor), those who liked the design will probably upgrade to the sequel.

With RIM's reported earnings coming in below expectations, a stock price that has been making new lows, an exodus from the executive boardroom, employee layoffs, and delays in getting out key products, it would be a big morale booster for RIM if it could get these two models out the door soon. Having both listed in the CelleBrite System might be the first sign that this is going to happen.
