Verizon has started selling the BlackBerry Bold 9930. The 9930 is an update to RIM’s classic BlackBerry design. It carries the same features as the Bold 9900, its GSM-based sibling.
Both mix a 2.8-inch, 640×480 touchscreen with a full-size keyboard and are the first to ship running BlackBerry 7. They share a much faster 1.2GHz processor (likely a Snapdragon) and a five-megapixel camera that lacks autofocus but does record 720p video. A total of 8GB of built-in flash provides the storage.
Price for the 9930 on Verizon is $510 contract-free, or $250 with a two-year contract. It should reach retail stores on August 25.
