Research In Motion (RIM) hasn’t taken a step in a Bold (excuse the pun) new direction with the new 9780. Instead the Canadian smartphone manufacturer has enhanced what was good with the old Bold 9700 and addressed its issues.

Upon glancing at the new Bold, it becomes clear that RIM didn’t book it in for cosmetic surgery. The 9780 boasts the exact same dimensions (109 x 60 x 14 mm), weight (122 g), display size (2.44") as well as resolution (480 x 360) of the Bold 9700. You’ll find the same quality construction, while it’s virtually a twin of the older one. The only noticeable alteration being the Bold 9700’s silver chrome edging, has now been painted black.

On the old Bold the silver edging made for a nice contrast against the all black design of the device, and also gave it a more premium look compared to the rest of the range. This chrome strip, however, is privy to being easily chipped or dented if the phone was dropped though.

Another change is the keyboard that still looks the same but is noticeably softer to type with, and even though the screen has the same resolution images, webpages and the like appear noticeably crisper on the Bold 9780’s display. 

The BlackBerry Bold 9780 weighs 4.2 ounces and measures 4.3 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches. Its 1500 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6 hours of talk time, and up to 408 hours (17 days) of standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies, as well as T-Mobile's 3G network (1700/2100 MHz).
