Driphter has a 5-minute video preview of the 9780 (GSM version), showing it to run the new BlackBerry OS 6 – which obviously looks better than the previous versions of the platform.

Apart from the refreshed OS (which includes a new WebKit browser), there aren’t many differences between the Bold 9780 and the older model (Bold 9700), although the new smartphone has a “sharp black bezel” around it. There’s no word on when the 9780 will be available, so for now let’s just watch the video preview.

The Blackberry Curve 8520 smartphone is a smartphone designed by Research in Motion, and manufactured/sold by Blackberry, the handset demonstrates a slim and lightweight highly multimedia-device, with seems to give prominence in terms of features to social networking and communication applications.

The smartphone features a full QWERTY keyboard which can be used to easily send emails, text messages, and form status updates. The keyboard has been designed to allow ‘thumbing’, which is a technique that Blackberry owners use to compile emails or send messages, it involves the individual using only their two thumbs to type and it’s becoming seen as a way to communicate much faster. Other features include a trackpad navigational device that is a new Blackberry feature, taking over from the previous ‘tracker ball’. The trackpad sits in the centre of the device, just above the keyboard, and works very much in the same way as a laptop mouse, allowing the user run their fingers or thumb over it to scroll through menus, contacts, and social networking statuses with ease. If users want to click on something, they simpy click, it’s as simple as that.

Connectivity is something that Blackberry have consistently improved, and the Curve 8250 reflects this, with faster online speeds, via 3G and Wi-Fi (when there’s a hotspot available) allowing individuals to surf the website, update statuses and download content quicker than ever before.

The most impressive feature of the new Blackberry Curve is the Blackberry Messenger service, that allows customers to communicate, in real time, with other Blackberry users absolutely free of charge. When first opening their brand new Blackberry smartphone, individuals will receive a unique Blackberry pin code, also known as a BBM Pin, which they can then use to add contacts quicker, and share content with friends.

They can also share lists, updates, create groups, and share music. Further new features of the 8250 smartphone include an integrated 2 megapixel digital camera for capturing still photos and video clips, as well as the Blackberry Easy Media Sharingtrade service that allows users to immediately upload multimedia to Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and Flickr.

Despite Apple’s huge market share in the world of smartphones, Blackberry have been developing and releasing innovative and thought-provoking mobile devices for many years now, and they first made headway in the ‘email’ market specifically. The original Blackberry had a black and white display, but all versions since have featured full colour displays. The unique selling point of the most recent Blackberry smartphones is the QWERTY keyboard, which Blackberry say make it easier for ‘thumbing’ – a term to describe typing text on the phone, using only the two thumbs.

The newer devices, such as the Blackberry Bold 9700 and the Blackberry Curve use small tracking pads, known as the ‘trackpad’ for navigational use, which makes it easy for users to surf the Internet, track down emails or SMS messages, and navigate through the phone’s functions.

In terms of the technical details of the newer models, Blackberry has incorporated ARM 7 and 9 processors, upgrading from the Intel processors that earlier models such as the Blackberry 950 and Blackberry 957 used. However, the most recent models have reverted back to the Intel systems, favouring a 312 MHz processor with 64 MB flash memory and 16 MB SDRAM (which are excellent for a smartphone). It is the Blackberry Curve smart phone that seems to be the most popular recent model amongst users, with a variety of significant differences from its predecessors, namely, its smaller size. However, the phone also features a better quality camera. The screen is smaller than the Blackberry Bold’s, but it is of a much higher resolution, and the phone also features larger internal memory, and is generally available at a lower price, much to the delight of Blackberry fans.
