The new Blackberry 7 series is out. And let us talk about the Blackberry Bolds first.
First of all, I have gotta say that I am a MAJOR fan of Bold 9700 and and Bold 9780. I don't know why. They just look so goddam elegant. The design retains the originality of its Qwerty keyboards and yet still look so chic and modern. Perfect for girls, may I note? :P
Look at the back, the graphic...*scream abit inside..
And then came the new Bold 9900/9930, and I expected something even more dynamic, classic, beautiful, luxurious, and I don't know, just plain amazing?
Heck, when I saw #blackberry7 trending on tweeter, I couldn't contain myself.
I just HAVE TO take a look at the new models.
They HAVE TO BE SO GODDAM FREAKING AMAZING LIKE HELL THAT I WILL SCREAM LIKE HELL AND PROMISE THAT I WILL EAT NOTHING BUT VEGETABLES AND WATER SO THAT I WILL AFFORD TO BUY THAT PIECE OF GODDAM FREAKING AMAZING LIKE HELL THAT I WILL SCREAM LIKE HELL BLACKBERRY RITTTTEEEEEE????????
But....
OMG?
It looks exactly like...Bold 9000. Which is so obsolete that it is no longer on its official website...
Bold 9000 (old version of Bold)
The good thing I see in these two must be the multi track pad is now replacing that annoying little ball scrolling thingi. Because trust me, after ahwhile, it gets really annoying and it spoils really fast, and that time you will be swearing at your Blackberry with the foulest words possible just so it can move up one step.
Okay, maybe there are SLIGHT differences to the design. Although the most significant design of all those SLIGHT differences is this...
Its thinner!!!
And does the side slightly reminds you of an iPhone?
But I must say the side view looks way sexier than the front view.
The Backview?
Which looks somewhat...different...
in a weirdddddd way.
At least everyone will know you are holding a blackberry with the logo that size?
What about the specs for the new Bold then?

That is for the technical part.
Removing all the technical talk. Once again, they still fail to see the importance of a front camera...we want a front camera. LOOK HOW WILDLY successful iPhone 4's front camera is? And how are we suppose to video call people like that!
But, for me, I will still think twice about getting the new Bold. But, why worry? It won't be available in Malaysia until...most probably when series 8 is coming out. Dang, it sucks to be here... so right now, with my rather constraint pocket, I will still have to be stuck with a curve.
Forgive me for hiding my face, bad hair day, bad face day, bad shirt day.
The curve looks better than me. T.T
