Research In Motion announced two upgraded BlackBerry Bold smartphones plus an updated operating system as it sought to regain its stride after a profit warning. The two phones -- BlackBerry Bold 9900 and the BlackBerry Bold 9930-- run on 1.2GHz Qualcomm processors and have 8GB of storage, 5 megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
The phones also have built-in NFC. The company said that these are the thinnest BlackBerrys to date. The QWERTY handsets have a 2.8-inch, VGA (640x480) capacitive touch screen. The smartphones have Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS, with BlackBerry Bold 9900 offering quad-band GSM, tri-band HSPA+ support and the BlackBerry Bold 9930 offering dual-mode CDMA/EV-DO. Both are expected to ship worldwide this summer. However, no details are available on the devices' pricing.
RIM said the phones would have more processing power than the original Torch, which RIM touted as a worthy competitor to the iPhone back in August when it last updated its aging platform. The Canadian company also launched a video chat application for its recently launched PlayBook tablet computer. RIM stunned investors with a profit warning last week, just a month after giving a dismal outlook. It said sales of its aging phones lagged, especially in the vital US market and Latin America, as Apple and Google powered on.
