BlackBerry Bold 9790 review: Bold and the budget
The question on everyone's mind must be how the Bold 9790 will coexist with the Bold 9900. And they're not asking nicely either. People are fuming in the comments and most of them seem to see no point in having two so very similar handsets released fairly soon after one another.
What it means is the flagship's been paid due respect. The Bold 9900 enjoyed its well-deserved head start. read more →
- BlackBerry OS v7
- Enhanced email and data security with BlackBerry Internet Service
- 2.45" 16M-color TFT touchscreen of 480 x 360px resolution
- QWERTY keyboard
- Quad-band GSM support and quad-band 3G with HSDPA
- BlackBerry Internet Service account is a must to enjoy all phone features
- No HD video recording
- No front-facing video-call camera
- No Flash support
- No FM radio
Another day, another high-end BB7 handset
If you were to take the BlackBerry Bold 9900 out of the equation and judge the BlackBerry Bold 9790 on its own merits, you could quite confidently say it's a cracking little phone. We're not massively excited by it but, geek-speak aside, just the specs alone make it worthy of a £350/$450 SIM-free price tag.
If we were torn between the BlackBerry Bold 9790 and the Bold 9900, we'd pick this, albeit at the risk of grumbling about a smaller screen. read more →
- Generous 8GB memory
- Great keyboard
- Easy to set up
- Holds onto signal well
- iTunes sync is simple
- Only a lock button up top, no media buttons
- Touchscreen too small
- No HD video
- App World still poor
- Contacts need a lick of paint
RIM BlackBerry Bold 9790 Review
Overall, there is a lot to like about the BlackBerry Bold 9790. It is beautifully designed, has a really nice QWERTY keyboard, and delivers outstanding in-call audio quality. In fact, if you are a BlackBerry enthusiast, you probably needn't look at a higher end model as this one would do the same job just fine. read more →
- Great in-call audio quality
- Premium feel
- Nice physical keyboard
- Web browser needs more work
- Outdated, uncomfortable interface

BlackBerry Bold 9790 review
The £350 price tag of the BlackBerry Bold 9790 is a major sticking point for one of the most basic smartphones on the market. The £99 Android contenders like the beat the BlackBerry Bold 9790 in all areas. Worse still, the keyboard toting Nokia Asha 201 costs around £60 and does a similar job, showing the challenge that faces all future BlackBerry phones ahead of the end of year overhaul of phone hardware and BlackBerry OS. read more →
- Great keyboard
- Solid build
- Lack of apps
- Small screen
- Poor touchscreen interface
