Just got a quick hands-on with the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 and I’m pleased to report it’s approximately the same size and shape as the previous Bolds with a large, usable keyboard and attractive back cover. Full gallery below.

Hands On With The BlackBerry Bold 9900
RIM Announces BlackBerry OS 7, Hits This Summer On The Bold Touch
RIM just pulled the virtual sheet back on OS 7. The user experience is familiar but RIM promises a system that’s both faster and better suited for managing a personal and professional life with a new feature called Balance. OS 7 packs voice activated searches and a retooled browser to better handle JIT JavaScript and HTML5 video. It seem RIM is most proud of Balance, which “presents a unified view of work and personal content…while keeping the content separate and secure.” Sounds a bit Nokia to me. Expect OS 7 first on the just-announce BlackBerry Bold Touch.
Looks Like Old BlackBerry Handsets Wont Get BlackBerry OS 7
If you’re rockin’ a BlackBerry Torch, Tour, Bold 2 — or really, anything older than the just—announced Bold 9900 and Bold 9300 — we hope you’re nice and comfortable with BlackBerry OS 6. If we’re catching RIM’s drift here at BlackBerry World correctly, that’s where you’re staying.
From what we’re hearing from RIM, only the 9900, 9300, and any devices released thereafter will tote the brand new OS 7. While such things occasionally change with time (be it through a reversal on the company’s part, or clever finagling by the hacker crowds), anyone looking to heed to OS 7's siren songs might be looking at an upgrade. You know what time it is.
