The BlackBerry Bold 9790 should be hitting the UK in January 2012. Not in time for Christmas as we hoped, but still only a few weeks away. SIM Free retailer MobileFun has today annouced that they will start taking pre-orders for the Smartphone for only £399.95. I say only £400 likes it's peanuts, but when you compare it to the prices of some of the Smartphones in the UK, it's quite a fair price for a s SIM Free Mobile Phone.
BlackBerry launched the Bold 9790 alongside the Curve 9380, which is the first fully Touchscreen BlackBerry Smartphone. The 9790 offers a cheap alternative to the very popular BlackBerry Bold 9900. Feature-wise, the latest BlackBerry Bold boosts a portrait QWERTY keypad, and a (360 x 480) touchscreen panel which is a slight upgrade. The phone comes with the latest that RIM has to offer - BBM, Social Feeds, and a redesigned UI, which doesn't look too bad! also, the Smartphones comes with a 1GHz single-core processor, a 5.0 mega-pixel camera, NFC technology, 8GB of built-in memory, HSDPA and WiFi for your wireless data needs.
There are no official release dates available for any of the UK networks as of yet, but the we've heard that it could be available on Orange and Vodafone near the end of January 2012.
