Short Review

  • The BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 features a compact design with dimensions of 115 x 66 x 10.5 mm and a weight of 130g, making it portable and easy to handle.
  • Its 2.8-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 286 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm 8655 CPU and 768MB of RAM, which supports basic tasks efficiently.

  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, and NFC, enhancing its functionality.
  • The device does not support 5G and features a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.
