The BlackBerry Bold 9780 is yet another BlackBerry to add to the Bold range and this time, its white! The white version of the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is a new addition to the Bold family and has proven to be very popular with the smart phone market.
Now what can you expect from the BlackBerry Bold 9780 White? It has the same excellent quality screen that its predecessors have. The keyboard is also the same as other BlackBerry phones, it is a QWERTY keyboard and is added to by the optical trackpad that is used for navigation around the phone. All the technology in the BlackBerry Bold 9780 White is fantastic and we can’t fault it. However, we do think that the BlackBerry Bold range is starting to look a little dated and the white colour unfortunately adds to this effect. We don’t really like the faux leather backing either, to us it seems a little fake and we much preferred the real leather backing that was seen on some of the earlier BlackBerry models. The newer BlackBerry’s definatley have the aesthetic edge on the BlackBerry Bold range. But if you are looking for a BlackBerry that does the job with great technology and you aren’t fussed on looks, then this is the BlackBerry to go for.

Going a little further into the technology of the BlackBerry Bold 9780 lets start with looking at the operating system. The operating system on the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is BlackBerry OS 6, a newer version of the BlackBerry Bold operating system which works at a faster speed. The BlackBerry Bold 9780 comes with 523MB of inbuilt memory and the phone outfit includes a 2GB micro SD card so you can expand your useable memory. Of course if you want to expand your memory even further you can buy another, bigger micro SD card and can support SD cards of up to 32GB. There is a good reason for updating the memory on your BlackBerry Bold 9780 and that is the excellent 5MP camera.
We have used the camera on the BlackBerry Bold 9780 and really like its features. It has a 2x digital zoom and several different camera settings to take your pictures in. The flash is great and isn’t too strong or too weak. The danger with a strong flash is that it can blind the person in the photo which means you get lots of photos of people squinting at the camera, on the other hand a weak flash cannot give enough light. We have found on the flash on the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is just right and we love using it. You can also video record on the BlackBerry Bold 9780. And these tools are great if you are proficient in social networking, you can snap a picture or record a video and upload it to the web straight away to share with all your friends.
All in all the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is a very sociable phone, the GPS system makes meeting up with friends really easy, just tap your destination into the maps feature and it will give you directions to where you want to go, from where you are now.
Overall we would recommend this phone to someone who wants media and efficiency whilst managing their student or business lifestyle. The only think that puts us off is the design, specifically the white colour and the faux leather backing. However, if you aren’t bothered about the looks and want the good technology, then the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is a great phone, packed full of great features and is a very good buy for someone looking for a new smartphone.
