RIM reveals BlackBerry Bold 9790, Curve 9380

Research In Motion recently published a few tidbits of information on two unannounced, yet not unseen BlackBerry smartphones, the Bold 9790 and the Curve 9380. RIM confirmed the BlackBerry Curve 9380 will offer a 3.2-inch touchscreen display with a 480 x 360-pixel resolution, and the Bold 9790 will feature a smaller 2.44-inch screen with a 480 x 360-pixel resolution on the company’s developer website. BGR recently had an exclusive hands-on with the Bold 9790 and the Curve 9380, codenamed “Orlando.” The Curve 9380 is the first full-touchscreen Curve device and has a slower 800MHz processor than the Bold 9790. Both phones also support near-field communications (NFC) and run RIM’s latest BlackBerry 7 operating system. Pricing and release dates are still unknown but we would not be surprised if RIM made an official announcement in the near future at the company’s developer event DevCon later this month.

      You are a f’ckin moron…

      • Bringit

        You can’t handle or defend the truth, so you resort to name calling.  You are a child.

      • Applesucksfatties

        Sure moron.. go back and look at your posts today.. I believe I remember you calling people “douche”, “moron”, etc..  

      • OddKnee

        Your a stupid dummyhead.

      • Applesucksfatties

        Normally, I am cordial to most posters…but BringIt is an annoying piece of iBGR trash (along with his posse of disphits….Max, Scroat, RIMFAIL, and SBmobile).

      Throw your mom.sister & grandma in then we don’t need service ever thought about that…

      Can someone please explain why both phones are so beat up ?

  • RIMFAIL

    You can cover a piece of crap with whatever you want.. Still a piece of crap underneath.

    • Applesucksfatties

      Exactly…look at the i3GS+…er i4S.  Same smelly pig….different shade of lipstick.

      • Bringit

        Big of you to agree that the Bold 9790 and Curve 9380 are both pieces of crap, the only honest thing you have ever said in BGR – but your analogy to the iPhone is uneducated and false. 

      • Applesucksfatties

        I know it is.. because anything bad said about an iTurd is uneducated and false.    And I wasn’t agree with Mr. RIMFAIL.. aka  iSUCKAPPLEC*CK…  I was merely stating that you iSheep always say that RIM recycles their phones.. but yet the i3GS+ is the same recycled POS that the I4 is..

      • Anonymous

        Wow!! You actually admitted RIM’s devices suck, you typed it! lol! Now go kill yourself! Douche!

      • Applesucksfatties

        Ahh.. SB.. you back spewing your uneducated nonsense?  I haven’t read your stupid posts for awhile so I thought you took other posters advice and jumped off a bridge.  Darn!!  I’m bummed now. 

      • Guest

        did the apple fanboys come to hate on bb also ? their mad cause they just got the same phone they had in their pocket already

      • RIMFAIL

        Looks like its official to me, applesucksfatties has finally admitted that RIM phones suck.

      • Applesucksfatties

        Looks official to me that you are LOSER!!

      • RIMFAIL

        Applesucksfatties- Funny you say the 3GS = 4S.  Have you seen the screen difference?  Does RIM produce a device with similar resolution?  Doubt it jacka*s.  Have you seem the new camera on the 4S?  Lets see your BOLD do half of that.

        I can see it now, Best Buy weekend ad.

        Buy a POS BlackBerry, get 100.00 of sh*tty apps from BB APP World.

      • Applesucksfatties

        ooh.. the screen resolution…  and the camera.    Ahhhh.. INNOVATION!!!

    • Plazmic Flame

      The numbering system for RIM needs to come to an end, it’s absolutely ridiculous and mind numbing… like really? 9700, 9780 (what happened to 9710-9770???), 9790, 9300, 9330, 9360… the list goes on… Can’t it be made easier?

      Curve (keyboard)
      Curve Touch (no keyboard, full touchscreen)

      Bold (keyboard)
      Bold Touch (no keyboard, full touchscreen)

      Torch (keyboard)
      Torch Touch (no keyboard, full touchscreen)

      You get the picture… much easier than figuring out all these stupid numbers, they don’t even go in order anymore. I think RIM even confuses themselves… it’s embarrassing. Also, YES, Torch Touch sounds dumb but again, you get the picture….. hopefully.

      • Applesucksfatties

        I agree.  I do think they could be more consumer friendly in their naming convention.  They are just as bad as some car manufacturers…LS? LC?  S?  WTF?

      So that applies to the ip4s to right?

    • Michael Scrip

      Capacitive touchscreen phones took a turn for the better in about 2007 though….

      As for RIM… we should forget the abomination that was the Blackberry Storm…

  • MGN

    <———-BB user for almost three years…stuck in the contract…toyed with other OS's and devices….BB sucks…they have for some time now….dont care what its phones are marketed towards…there devices are waaaay dated….carry on please…

    • Bringit

      Unlike @5902eb03c52f69077706fc9e6b29398f:disqus , good to see there are some honest BB users out there in the world.

      • Applesucksfatties

        Funny how someone says something negative about a BlackBerry and it is “honest feedback”, yet when someone says something negative about Apple, it is “uneducated and false”.   Apple tools are all cut from the same cloth…Tim Cook could crap on your dinner plate and you would say it was the best meal you have ever had…. But if a RIM exec put a perfectly cooked filet mignon meal on your plate, you would say it was the worst thing you ever tasted.   You douches need to get a hobby….maybe go send some greeting cards… or program Siri to say all the things that women don’t normally say to you.

      • Michael Scrip

        All this from a guy with “Applesucksfatties” as a screen name?

      • Applesucksfatties

        @michaelscrip:disqus - yeah Michael…..considering there is a difference between not liking a product (me disliking Apple products because they don’t fit my needs…but moreso because Apple fanboys are douchers) and trolling (BringIt, Max, SBmobile, Scroat, RIMFAIL, etc…).

        That’s because 1 leads the industry in every important category, while the other excels at expanding their influence over the basement! Translation: Apple is the best! RIM SUCKS!! Wake up!! It’s been weeks, I’m still waiting for the “3″ things that make BB’s better than iPhone’s! Go ahead!

        Idiots and fandroids never believe the truth … LOL

      • Applesucksfatties

        @SBMobile:disqus - it has been weeks since what?  Since you posted your last round of stupid comments?  Funny how you are calling me out since numerous people have called you out about your uninformed, typical iBGR comments….and you run and hide your head in the sand like an ostrich.  I’ll answer your question though because I don’t run and hide like a pansy.  1. BBs have superior security over the iPhone, 2. are way better at the overall communication experience (email, BBM, etc.) and 3.  Keyboard, keyboard, keyboard!   Suck that…Apple tool!

      • RIMFAIL

        Here’s the problem Applesucksfatties.. RIM’s reputation has been flushed in the sh*tter for years now.  Apple keeps build innovative features left and right.  All RIM does is re-abortionize the same worthless junk over and over again.  Oh wait- now there’s free apps for putting up with sub-par hardware.

        Wow that’s going to make me want to switch, 100.00 of free sh*tty apps.

      • RIMFAIL

        Michael Scrip- Don’t pay attention to Applesucksfatties.  He’s on RIM payroll.  He defends RIM on the web.

      • SniperSniper

        The phones in this post dont have “keyboards?”

      • Applesucksfatties

        @concepts99:disqus - the 9790 does…  and he said 3 things about BB that are better than the iPhone.. he didn’t specify a particular model.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @dd48c51a29813ce970951e95ab83eea8:disqus - and one can assume from your posts that you get paid for all of your time from the Apple exec “slush fund”….   you know..when they go out drinking..  and want some oral action.. they come knockin on your door.. and you have your kneepads ready.  

      • Bringit

        You can not handle the truth.  So sensitive and defensive about your dead no service RIM.  whaaa whaaa whaaa…

      • Applesucksfatties

        @c009b00976ca25649d53f2a08121b9f1:disqus – sure tool… move on TROLL…. MOVE ON!!

      • Bringit

        You can not handle the truth.  You can not defend your BrickBerry – so you resort to name calling and hope the truth speakers will GO AWAY AND MOVE ON.  You must face reality.  Douche.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @c009b00976ca25649d53f2a08121b9f1:disqus – Saying that I resort to name calling is hilarious.. coming from the queen of name calling BringyourAppleballstomymouth.   And I don’t need to defend my BlackBerry as it works just fine and suits my needs.  I use my phone for communication and messaging.. and it works perfectly for that.  If I want a game machine, I’ll play my PS3, Xbox 360, or Wii..  If I want to take pictures, I’ll use my DSLR.  If I want to video something, I’ll use my HD video recorder.   If I want a greeting card, I’ll go to Target and buy one… or send one online.   If I wanted your OPINION of RIM, I would have asked for it (cue silence with crickets chirping in background)……..

    • Applesucksfatties

      I’m curious what model BB you are using…

      • MGN

        bold 9700 OS6…

      • Applesucksfatties

        try a 9900 or a 9970 and then come talk to me…

        The model that’s the most similar to a casio watch with the calculator! lol

      • Applesucksfatties

        coming from the guy that thinks wearing velcro tennis shoes and a Star Trek tshirt is coool.

      • RIMFAIL

        SB is so right.  I think Applesucksfatties was one of those douchers in Jr. High with a Casio Calc watch.

        Oh cool, can’t wait for my 100.00 worth of free apps.  Maybe I should send an iCard to Applesucksfatties?

      • Anonymous

        LOl  @ iCard! RIM’s so dumb, they’re giving away LOW-quality apps, while their users barely use them anyway! My friend has Angry Bird’s on her Torch & is SO disappointed with the quality of the game. Every shot is a “hit”, no matter how you aim the bird + the level of quality from RIM’s Java architecture reminds me of a GameBoy Colour! Terrible! No matter what RIM does, they’ll never be able to raise their UI/UX to cocoa-touch/Apple’s. AppleSucksfatties is obviously some idiot that works at RIM!

      • Applesucksfatties

        @dd48c51a29813ce970951e95ab83eea8:disqus – I’m curious if the outage affected you?  Do you have a BlackBerry?

      • Anonymous

        I bet you’re gladly paying your fees to RIM, drinking their kool-aid with a big smile on your face! SUCKER! For months, I’ve listened to you moan about how great RIM’s mail & services are yet you won’t admit that they completely dropped the ball, considering this is all they have left to retain consumers. RIM sucks on so many levels right now, it’s embarrassing. 

      • Applesucksfatties

        ” I bet you’re gladly paying your fees to RIM, drinking their kool-aid with a big smile on your face! SUCKER!”  Famous words coming from an iSheep.  I bet if Apple released a gold plated turd from Steve Jobs and put an Apple logo on it, you and your Appledouche buddies would line up weeks in advance for it.. only to find out that the gold wasn’t real gold..  but you’ll still treat it like the greatest thing on earth..

      • Anonymous

        Wow! The one thing you’re consistent in is making the most “retarded” statements possible! It’s official! You are now officially in my eyes in “Junior-kindergarten”. lol! Steve Jobs is dead. I’m not really sure why you keep bringing him up. I doubt the average iOS user even knows who he is! Explain the love for the man you supposedly hate! I’d love to understand your fascination with the guy.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @SBMobile:disqus  – Former scorn RIM employee… need I say more? Did RIM dump you on your dumb ass and now you are pissed off at them.. and out to get them?

      • Anonymous

        I never said I worked at RIM before MORON! I said I used their devices before you even knew what their were! I don’t like RIM because: 1) They mocked the iPhone when it came out (arrogance) & later stated that they “see NO use for apps”; 2) Back in ’06, Lazaridis stated that corporate users don’t want cameras or mp3′s (was he wrong, or what!?!). Those are the reasons + they think they’re competing with Apple, when that’s like comparing a Bentley to a Hyundai!

      • Applesucksfatties

        I realize you never said you worked at RIM.. you didn’t have to, I can tell from your posts.  Why else would the average consumer hate a company so much that they wanted them to go out of business?    And it is funny how you rationalize it because “they mocked the iPhone”…   did you create the iPhone?  Did they mock your family too?  Get over it psycho…   2. “Lazaridis stated that corporate users don’t want camera”… newsflash but some (not all) companies don’t allow camera.  High ranking govt officials use BBs.. I’m sure they can have cameras for security reasons..   I’m sure people in R&D positions can’t have cameras..   And who gives a f*ck about Apple vs RIM… seriously.   I could care less if they make an iPhone that wipes my ass.  You like apple..  GREAT… I am one of the 70 million that likes BlackBerry…great..   This isn’t the Hatfields vs the McCoys… 

      • Applesucksfatties

        @SBMobile:disqus – Sorry.. but I don’t work at RIM…   and I have never said that they don’t have their own problems that they need to correct…. I’m just get annoyed when trolls like you come out here and start talking shit when 1. you don’t even own a BlackBerry and 2. it has no impact on you in any way.   It is like me going to a Toyota blog and talking smack about how toyota sucks and how their QA process is terrible.. and I don’t even own a Toyota.  GROW UP AND GET A LIFE DOUCHE. 

      • Anonymous

        Ummm, Toyota IS a good car! So I don’t see the analogy. Why would I own a blackberry? I had one before you even knew what it was. From then, ’til now, RIM looks like a “clueless” dinosaur! The minute RIM is gone & everyone jumps off the bandwagon of “cheapness”, I’ll be quite satisfied that I won’t have to hear about them anymore. I know you dream about that scenario for Apple, but reality is Apple could “gobble” up RIM with the blink of an eye! The thing is, RIM is a “dud” of a company, so don’t expect anyone with half a brain to make that deal! Whine, cry, yell & scream, it still doesn’t change the fact that your favourite company SUCKS & is going down in flames!! lol

      • Applesucksfatties

        @SBMobile:disqus – I know you are pissed at RIM for firing your stupid ass for being on iBGR so much and having pictures of Apple execs in your dube.   Don’t be mad.   Move on….    Maybe Apple will hire you to “take care” of their execs… better bring your knee pads and your chapstick..

    funny thing about this post is that all this was exposed months ago about a touchscreen curve now look whos come to the party late BGR how ironic is that but then again its a entry level phone.

  • TheTruth

    Its sad how BGR want to show pics of these phones after they’ve scratched them all up…. these are nice looking phones. U’ve never seen a scratched iPhone on this website… The sad part is the pic shows the curve and the torch. Not the bold 9790. what the hell did RIM do to yall?

  • Angry Bear

    That curve might do well internationally. I assume that’s what they are targeting it for. El Cheapo touchscreen blackberry, 800mhz, no contract.

    Have fun with those innovative features on your new iTurd though.. the native messaging and OTA updates that RIM has had for years..  the Personal Assistant that I understand was copied from Android… but hey, at least you don’t have to go to Target and buy greeting cards like my grandma.   INNOVATION AT ITS FINEST!!!

    • Bringit

      Now you are slamming your own grandma?!  You truly are a weak sad sick f-ked up douche.

      • Applesucksfatties

        Yeah..saying my grandma goes to Target to buy greeting cards is slamming her.. Man, you are a bigger moron than I thought you were… 

      • Bringit

        You are right – you were not slamming your grandma.  You were slamming your lazy weak ass self for not going to target yourself and making her go, you ungrateful grandson.  Or if you had an iPhone instead of your BrickBerry – you could be a good grandson.  You are even a douche in her eyes.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @c009b00976ca25649d53f2a08121b9f1:disqus -I never said I didn’t buy greeting cards at Target… or I send them online.  My point was that  I certainly wouldn’t consider the greeting card functionality as a major selling point….nor would I claim that it was game changing innovation. 

        ps.  my grandma could whoop your nerdy ass so I’d watch what you say about her.  

      • Applesucksfatties

        Sure tool..  move on to slathering over your new iToy..

      • Applesucksfatties

        HHAHAH… that service joke is so lame.  HAHAHA.   Pretty sad when the only thing you can keep bringing up is a short service outage in 3 years…  but look at the i4.. how did the service work on that bad boy.. you know.. with antenna-gate and all?    Oh.. but wait, the workaround was using a nice rubber sleeve …  how sweet!!   Innovation at its finest.

    • Rimsucksfatties

      Blackberries appear to be on the way out. If RIM doesn’t hit a home run during the next fews days at Devcon it’s going to be a very slow death for RIM. You can choose to disagree but RIM will never regain market share if they just rely on the BB faithful. No trolling just ask around and many people have disdain for RIM products. Hope that rim can turn things around but this outage came at a bad time and will only reinforce the negative stereotypes people have about RIM.

      • Applesucksfatties

        I’m a fan of RIM products.. but I don’t disagree that they have their problems.  I would love to see them be more nimble in getting products to market.  Although I love my PlayBook, I would like to see them release fully baked products going forward…     I agree that they do need to have a great DevCon (which they could have started off on a bang by releasing OS 2.0 right away this morning)… but even though the outage pissed some people off, it really made me realize how much I depend on my BlackBerry.

    So the 9790 bold will be more advanced than the 9900 bold?  I’m confused with the numbering.  Shouldn’t the higher number be the latest device?
