BlackBerry Bold 9930 Review

without Camera (9930)     See other variants reviews Score: 46.1 / 100

BlackBerry Bold 9930 is a mid level BlackBerry cellphone launched many years ago, having a powerful 1.2 gigahertz CPU and a 2.8 inches multi touch capacitive display.

Blackberry decided to power this phone with a good performance CPU clocking at 1200 MHz with 768 MB RAM memory. This phone comes with an 8 GB quite big internal memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, which allows you to install hundreds of apps and games without running out of space.

Though this phone is quite thin and comfortable it's not so thin as many other cellphones in the market, with a thickness of 0.41". The BlackBerry Bold 9930 isn't a compact cellphone, given that it is 4.53" long and 2.6 inches wide,but it just holds a 2.8" screen. Blackberry appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 4.59 oz cellphone.

This phone doesn't have any cameras. It can also film videos in HD 1280x720. The camera also features a couple of interesting features like digital image stabilization, flash, geo tagging and face detection shooting.

This phone has a interesting 480 x 640 (VGA) 2.8-inches display, providing this phone with a good level image quality. Its display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This cellphone comes with a mid capacity 1230 mAh Li-Ion battery that can keep this cellphone running for many hours, although you will probably find yourself looking for a place to charge it even after moderate usage. Blackberry says this device has a talk time of 6.6 hours and a stand by time of 307 hs.

The BlackBerry Bold 9930 features wifi connection (and it can be provided to other devices acting as a modem) and the fastest 3G data connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS, EV-DO A and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card to use GSM services and it can connect using both CDMA and GSM.

This cellphone also includes a handful of nice characteristics as NFC, Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This device is being sold for 130 dollars, not a good offer for comparing with other similar devices.
