Struggling smartphone maker BlackBerry, which is considering selling itself, has announced the launch of a new smartphone, named BlackBerry 9720. It runs the older BlackBerry OS 7.1 software. If you’re wondering why
BlackBerry’s releasing another OS 7 device, when BlackBerry 10 is
supposed to be the software which will save the company, it’s because OS
7 is still outselling BB10 hardware.
Specifications of Blackberry 9720 :
Display : 2.8-inch, 480 x 360 pixel resolution screen
OS : Blackberry OS 7.1
CPU : 806 Mhz Processor
RAM : 512 MB
Memory : 512 MB Internal
MicroSD Slot : Yes
Primary Camera : 5 MP with LED Flash
Bluetooth : Bluetooth 2.1
Wi-fi : Yes
Battery : 1450 mAh
It’s going to come in several different colors, including pink, white
and purple, plus there is a dedicated BBM key on the side of the phone. It also includes BBM Voice, which lets you chat over Wi-Fi for free. With the BlackBerry 9720 smartphone, you can listen to local FM stations.
"It's perfect for customers upgrading from a feature phone or
entry-level Android or Windows Phone device," says the press release and
there's some truth to that - it would make a good feature phone
replacement.
The BlackBerry 9720 will go on sale in the next few weeks, and it’s
initially coming to Asia, Latin America, parts of Europe including the
UK, Africa, and the Middle East. The price hasn’t been confirmed, but we
doubt it’ll break the bank.
