14 DAY TRIAL // During the ongoing year, Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion is expected to bring to the market a nice range of new mobile phones, and the BlackBerry Bold Touch 9930 and the BlackBerry Touch 9850 Monaco are among these devices.
The two smartphones were not unveiled in an official manner as of yet, but that might change at the BlackBerry World conference in May, rumor has it.
Both devices would arrive on shelves with RIM's BlackBerry OS 6.1.0.44 platform on board, and the video embedded at the bottom of this article would offer you a glimpse both at the new OS and at the devices themselves.
The Bold Touch smartphone, spotted into the wild before as a CDMA device under the codename of Montana, would put together the popular QWERTY keyboard of RIM's Bold series, with a touchscreen display.
Leaked info on RIM's upcoming CDMA roadmap pointed at a 1.2GHz application processor being packed inside this device, along with the aforementioned 2.8-inch touchscreen display, and a 5-megapixel photo snapper on the back.
The handset would also include 8GB of internal memory, complemented by a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space.
As for the BlackBerry Touch Monaco, it made it into the wild a few times before as a full-touchscreen device that would be included in the company's Storm series (it was said to be the actual Storm 3 smartphone).
Also powered by RIM's BlackBerry 6.1 OS, the new smartphone should include a 1.2GHz application processor as well, along with a 3.7-inch capacitive touchscreen display that would boast a WVGA resolution.
Monaco was also said to come to shelves with a 5 megapixel photo snapper with HD video recording on the back, 4GB of internal storage space, microSD memory card slot with support for up to 32GB of additional storage space, WiFi, Bluetooth, and the like.
Until more info on these devices emerges into the wild, you can have a look at their OS in the videos embedded below, courtesy of crackberry and n4bb, which would also provide a better look at the two handsets.
