Short Review
- The BlackBerry Bold 9780 features a compact design with dimensions of 109 x 60 x 14 mm and a weight of 122g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 2.44-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 360 pixels, providing decent clarity with a pixel density of approximately 246 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a 624 MHz CPU and 256MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of capturing decent photos, though it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The 1500 mAh battery offers limited longevity, with no fast charging or wireless charging options available.
- Running on BlackBerry OS 6.0, the software provides a unique user experience tailored for productivity.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and Bluetooth 2.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in black and white colors, although it lacks water resistance features.
- Overall, the Bold 9780 is a solid choice for users seeking a straightforward smartphone experience.
- Its physical keyboard and messaging capabilities remain its standout features in a competitive market.
