This year has been a very tough year for the Blackberry creators, Research In Motion. Recently, ComScore revealed to the general public that Blackberry OS has lost the second spot on the American market, losing up to 4.3 % share stock in three months. Also, recently the Canadian company announced its decision to cut off 11 % of its workforce, caused by the ongoing struggle against Android and iOS systems. With this terrible announcement that left unemployed more than 2000 people, the company lost another 4 % of shares within the past months.

The Androids smartphones and Apple’s iPhone are winning over the Blackberry’s market share, although the company told the press that they have ‘absolute confidence’ in the future products. One of the products that is meant to reestablish the reign of Blackberry mobile phones is the new Blackberry Bold 9900. This is a very promising device and a very serious contender to the first spots on the world’s best selling products of this year. Let’s examine further some of the features that will make this handset achieve the well deserved position.

One of the things that sets this phone apart is the keyboard. The keyboard is a very important feature, and we can all confidently assume that the famous Blackberry keyboard was “responsible” for a lot of the RIM’s sales and the reason why people have enjoyed these smartphones ever since the first product was released. The keyboard is as expected, a very sturdy QWERTY keypad that might just be the best keyboard on the market. The new featured keyboard is a bit more spacious and has a new level of ergonomic styling to it that makes firing out email after email a very easy task.

The Android-lovers and the iFans can argue over the fact that the screen of a Blackberry pays a really high price for its physical keypad, but this is not the case with the new Bold 9900. Yes, the 2.8 inches in display is not an impressive feature, but the added touchscreen functionality brings the Blackberry systems up to date and the navigation through the menus happens on another level compared to the older versions. The new Bold is also really good for gaming not just business applications.

The resolution boasted on this phone is 680 x 480 pixels, which places this phone on the same level with all its rivals. The screen is big enough for watching movies and browsing through photos, and compared to an Android phone the difference in screen size is not that obvious once you get used to it.

The Blackberry Bold 9900 features the latest version of RIM’s operating system, the Blackberry OS 7. This new release boosts the performance of the older one, more tweaks and a more smooth functionality is what to expect from this new operating system. It includes voice-activated search, HTML 5 support, enhanced Blackberry browser and Blackberry Balance, which separates perfectly the entertainment side of your phone from the business side.

In terms of CPU power, the Canadian company went beyond expectations and doubled the performance of the old processors. The Blackberry Bold 9900 is equipped with a processor that runs at 1.2GHz, which is quite impressive compared to 680 MHz from the previous models, almost double the power is found in this new released handset.
The Bold 9900 is the thinnest Blackberry up to this point, measuring no more than 10.5 mm in thickness. It is also equipped with a 5 mega pixel camera, able to capture 720p of High Definition footage making this smartphone one of the leading handsets in terms of digital capabilities. This is indeed a new step for the Canadian company and only the time will tell if this smartphone has enough power to outclass HTC, iPhone and Sony Ericsson.
