Two new BlackBerry Smartphones available soon!

RIM, the creator of the BlackBerry will soon launch two new devices. The first is called the BlackBerry Bold, 9000 series, and would most likely be the successor to the 8800 series. The second device is a bit more daring. Known as Kickstart, this would be the first BlackBerry flip design Smartphone.

BlackBerry 9000 BlackBerry Kikstart

The guys at the blog CrackBerry.com have recently acquired a BlackBerry 9000 on EBay and everything seems to indicate that this new device will appeal to the fans of the brand from Waterloo. According to the authors at CrackBerry.com, the Bold possesses a quadbands radio: GSM / EDGE / UMTS / HSPA, the BlackBerry 4.6 operating system, WiFi technology and a larger screen than the 8800 series. The keyboard has also undergone some engineering enhancement that should provide greater comfort for the users.

The BlackBerry Kickstart will be the first clamshell (Flip phone) design device offered by RIM. This type of phone is very popular in North America. Remember the Motorola Razr, which has sold more than 50 million units over the last 24 months. Unlike the “Bold”, the “Kickstart” is 3G GSM/EDGE only, but it is believed it would also integrate WiFi connectivity. No availability dates for these devices have been announced by RIM.
