Today we’ll take a look at a BlackBerry model released in 2010 which is still available today thanks to its great performance combined with a great design.

The BlackBerry Bold 9650 is a classic shaped BlackBerry device that can be used on both GSM and CDMA networks. I feel this is a thing that needs to be mentioned when it comes to more recent releases, as many mobile phones are designed to work on only one of the two network types. Because these phones are very appealing to people who travel all over the world, this feature is very important, otherwise, in countries where CDMA networks are unsupported the phone wouldn’t work.

The phone’s 2.4 inch display doesn’t have touchscreen capabilities, but thanks to the touch sensitive optical track pad navigation on this phone is made easily. Also, the omnipresent QWERTY keyboard is made in such a way that makes typing easy and fast, the shape of the buttons being a big plus. The phone doesn’t have but 512 megabytes of internal memory, which can be increased with the use of a memory card to allow for the storage of a larger number of files.

For audio files listening purposes, the phone is fitted with a 3.5 mm jack, so the user will be able to use any regular headphones with this type of jack. The alternative is the use of Bluetooth wireless headphones which can be connected easily thanks to the advanced Bluetooth device’s version and thanks to the A2DP technology the component incorporates.

The camera on this phone has 3.5 megapixels, which is not very much, but features like the LED flash, the autofocus or the image stabilizer allow the user to get the best out of this capture device. The BlackBerry OS combined with the GPS integrated into the device will make sure that you can execute and install any sorts of applications that might come in handy at a certain point.

Last, but not least, the battery must be mentioned as it allows for 5 hours of talk time and 18 hours of music listening time, which is not very much, but it’s enough.
