Sim Free Blackberry Bold 9780 Unlocked OS6 - White

What do we think?

With enhanced RAM and the BlackBerry 6 OS, the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is an improvement on its predecessor, but it's certainly not going to recapture market share lost to iOS and Android handsets.
RIM is bringing its BlackBerry 6 operating system to the Bold line. Typing on the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is a joy, but, like a square peg hammered into a round hole, the OS can't really shine on a device with no touchscreen. 

The Blackberry 9780 still as all the capabilities and more of previous predecessor the 9700 i.e. blackberry messenger, email service that is second to none and Wi-Fi for internet browsing.
