The BlackBerry Bold 9780 is equipped with RIM's new WebKit browser
As we reported, Canadian carrier Bell is expected to launch the BlackBerry Bold 9780 on November 2nd. Bascally a "refresh" of the Bold 9700, the new version is equipped with two new software upgrades, the BlackBerry 6 OS and the WebKit browser. The camera on the phone has also been improved, with a 5MP shooter now gracing the back of the handset. RAM has doubled to 512MB.
While no U.S. carrier has been selected, the BlackBerry Bold 9780 should certainly end up being offered stateside. Right now, besides the Canadian release via Bell, the phone is listed on a web site associated with Orange and a placeholder has been spotted on the T-Mobile U.K. page. Vodafone Netherlands has also said that they will have the device in stock during the beginning of November which means that a Dutch language video of the Bold 9780 would certainly make sense. Besides the very cerebral breakdown of the unit, you'll find some jokes (don't miss the reference to the Apple iPhone 4 early in the video) but also some very thoughtful analysis of what just might be your next phone.
