BlackBerry Bold 9930 is a little bit outdated phone launched some years ago, in 2011, which features a 5 megapixels back camera, a great performance processor speeding at 1.2 gigahertz and a little 2.8 inches multi touch display.
Blackberry decided to sell this phone with a great performance 1.2 gigahertz CPU with 768 MB RAM. Graphic rendering usually consume a lot of CPU time, so it has a 320 MHz ARM Mali-400 MP1 graphics processing unit to help with that calculations. This phone counts with a quite large 8 GB internal storage and a slot for SD memory cards, allowing you to install hundreds of applications and games without any problem.
This device is very slim and looks really nice, but it's not so thin as many other phones out there, with a thickness of 0.41". Whereas this cellphone is as big as 4.53 inches long, it only comes with a much smaller 2.8 inches display. The BlackBerry Bold 9930 feels a bit heavy for a phone this size, with a weight of 4.59 oz.
Blackberry packed this device with a very good 2.8 inches display, and a resolution of 480 x 640 (VGA), which makes it hard to see the pixels taking part of the display. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.
This phone offers wifi connectivity (which it can provide to other devices around, as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS, EV-DO A and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a SIM card for GSM carriers and it works with both GSM and CDMA carriers.
This device has only a 5 mega-pixels back side camera. The BlackBerry Bold 9930 can also film videos in 1280x720 (HD). In addition, the camera features a few good characteristics: flash, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization and geo tagging.
This cellphone also features a handful of nice features like Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
This phone counts with a good 1230 mAh Li-Ion removable battery providing the BlackBerry Bold 9930 with a not very long battery life. This cellphone has a reported talk time of 6.6 hs and a stand by time of 307 hours according to Blackberry.
This cellphone costs 129 dollars, which is not a good offer for a cellphone this level.
