If you're wondering which are the best new BlackBerry phones for this year, than read on. You have a choice out of the Bold 9650/9780, the Curve 3G 9330/8530, the Style, and the Storm 2. All are good choices in their own right; however, the Bold is my pick of the BlackBerry handsets. You can purchase the above BlackBerrys (new) from T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon on a two year contract. Phones, calling, messaging and data rates purchased under a contract from the above mentioned carriers are substantially cheaper than prepaid or no contract phones.
MetroPCS has a cheap and contract free option to get a BlackBerry Curve for per month all inclusive (unlimited calling, text and data). The disadvantage of MetroPCS is they currently only offer the Curve 8530, which is running on BlackBerry's operating system 5 (the latest version is 6), and have not as comprehensive coverage as some of the other networks.
Sprint Cs
The Bold 9650 (Verizon and Sprint) and 9780 (T-Mobile) is our choice BlackBerry. It is similar in many respects to the Curve 3G 9330 from a design and specifications point of view. The Curve is half the price of the Bold, which sports a faster processor, a premier looking steel casing, and a more advanced user interface. The Curve has been known to "freeze" on occasion when sending large numbers of emails and text messages; however, most Curve users enjoy their phone and have no issues. This being said for the extra the Bold is an attractive phone.
The new touch screen 4G Bold 9900 has been announced by BlackBerry at their annual conference in Orlando recently. This phone is sure to impress you. Similar in look to the current Bold with a full QWERTY keyboard. Though differs with a thinner frame (115 x 66 x 10.5 mm HWT), double the processor speed (1.2 GHz Snapdragon), 786 RAM, 8 GB of on board memory with the option to add a further 32 GB using the micro SD card slot, and the same 5 mega pixel camera as the current Bold (improved 720p HD video camera). Other major differences include a larger (2.8 inches) and greatly improved touch screen display (640 x 480 pixels). This screen allows you to pinch to zoom in addition to all the other popular features that the iPhone and Android phones sport. This is the first BlackBerry to have 4G capabilities, allowing the "liquid graphic" (that is what BlackBerry called it) screen to load web pages quickly. BlackBerry's new liquid graphics screen boasts the ability to load an entire webpage at once, hence, not causing part of the page to load while you navigate around a site. This phone will be running on BlackBerry's next generation operating system (version 7), making the Bold 9900 the most desired BlackBerry. You might be wondering when will it be available, from which providers and for how much. T-Mobile is the only provider to announce that it will stock the phone this September, however, it is expected that Sprint and Verizon will also stock the phone. With regard to price, this is not known as yet. With a new 2 year contract it is likely to cost between 0 and 0 directly from the cellular provider.
To sum things up the Bold 9650 and 9780 is currently the latest BlackBerry Bold devices available, however, the Bold 9900 and 9930 is due to launch later this year with Sprint, Verizon and T-Mobile. T-Mobile is the only provider to confirm that they will stock the 9900 model and it is expected to be available in stores sometime in September.
