The ten second review:
Summary: An updated BlackBerry Bold complete with BlackBerry 6. A communication master piece!
Best of: Keyboard, new OS, camera, messaging
Worst of: Some heavy media users may want a bigger screen,
General:
On the left side of the Bold 9780 we have the headset jack, left convenience key and the MicroUSB port.
The right convenience key and volume controls are over on the right.
On the top are the lock screen and mute buttons, although hard to see.
Over on the back is the 5mp camera lens and the flash. And not forgetting the shiny BlackBerry logo.
The front is typical BlackBerry with an optical trackpad surrounded by the call send/end keys, menu button and back button. And you cant miss that glorious full QWERTY keyboard.
