14 DAY TRIAL // Two new, unannounced handsets from Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion have recently made it into the wild again, namely the BlackBerry 9670 Oxford and the BlackBerry Bold 9780, the former in leaked internal documents, and the latter in new photos and videos.
The BlackBerry 9670 Oxford is a clamshell device rumored last week to be on its way to two CDMA wireless carriers in the United States, including Sprint and Verizon Wireless.
According to a recent article on BGR, the handset should become available at Sprint in the near future, while the leaked documents on this device should provide us with a great load of details on what it would include.
First of all, we should mention the flip form factor, along with a QWERTY keyboard, complemented by an optical trackpad for navigation, and two displays, a 240 x 320-pixel external screen, and a 360 x 400 internal screen.
Other specifications of this device include support for CDMA radios, Wi-Fi connectivity, built-in GPS receiver, and a 5-megapixel photo snapper.
In addition to the phone's internal memory, users should be able to benefit from a microSD memory card slot for more storage space, with an 8GB card included in the package right from the start.
Moreover, the handset runs under RIM's BlackBerry 6 OS, which means that it should bring forth all of the performance enhancements the platform was touted with, as well as the new look RIM packed in it.
As for the second BlackBerry device that emerged again, the Bold 9780, this is another handset that should run under the BlackBerry 6 OS right from the start.
Just as its name suggests, it should sport about the same looks as previous Bold devices, while packing a 2.4-inch HVGA display and a QWERTY keyboard in a candybar form factor.
Other specifications of this device include a 624MHz processor, 512MB of memory, a 5MP photo snapper, or a 1500 mAh battery.
Have a look at the videos below, available courtesy of BlackBerry Cool, to learn a little more on how this phone plays along with the latest OS from RIM.
