“Research In Motion announced two new BlackBerrys this week — the Bold 9790 and Curve 9380,” Eric Zeman reports for InformationWeek. “Both follow the well-worn design path set by generations of BlackBerrys while bringing little new to the bloodline.”
“The Bold 9790 is a traditional BlackBerry, offering a 2.45-inch display and a full QWERTY keyboard for messaging and emails,” Zeman reports. “The 9380 gets rid of the keyboard entirely and is a full touch phone. The display measures 3.2-inches and has 480 x 360 pixels at 188 pixels per inch.”
Zeman reports, “While both devices are no doubt fine business machines, they are also the same-old, same-old from Research In Motion, which is clearly treading water until it can get its BBX-based BlackBerrys to the market. Neither breaks any new ground in terms of design, appearance, or capabilities.”
