BlackBerry 7 OS:

As stated earlier, these phones will bring new BlackBerry 7 OS to market, with them.

BB 7 OS powered devices are expected to be 40% faster than their predecessors which use BB 6 OS and almost 100% faster as compared to BB 5 OS.

About the new OS, RIM said:

BlackBerry 7 OS also includes a number of other pre-loaded applications and integrated functionality for increased productivity and collaboration right out of the box.

The Premium version of Documents To Go is now included free of charge, offering users powerful document editing features as well as a native PDF document viewer. BlackBerry® Protect is also pre-loaded, offering customers the peace of mind that personal data can be backed up and secured in the cloud.

BlackBerry® Balance (announced May 2, 2011) is now integrated in BlackBerry 7, allowing users to enjoy the full BlackBerry smartphone experience for both work and personal purposes without compromising the IT department’s need for advanced security and IT controls.

And further, the popular universal search capability has been enhanced with support for voice-activated search, so users can now simply speak to begin searching their device and the web for information.

  • LOL, what ever the time in the images would be, we’ve Screen-shots at least =D
    Anyhow, BB 9900 is almost same as 9000 Bold but as said it runs on BB 7-OS so it’d be much better than previous one =)

  • I have used almost every mobile OS except iOS and the best keyboard and email experience I had was on my bold 9700& curve 3G.
    Yes the OS is done for good but the device as whole is pretty good. As always no smartphone is good or bad at this time, it all depends on what you want/need.If you need best email experience than nothing better than a blackberry.

  • u all are saying this because you may not have used it properly !! blackberry is a business phone only not a play phone or a simple txt or call phone ..
