BlackBerry 6-powered Bold 9780 poses for the camera, Showcased on Video

At first glance, one can easily mistake this as the BlackBerry 9700, but don’t be fooled, what you’re looking at is actually the upcoming BlackBerry Bold 9780, or at least that’s what Vietnamese site mainguyen.vn claims it to be. It almost looks the same as its predecessor, but one thing you’ll probably notice here is that the bezel on the 9780 is much darker than that of 9700. As for its specs, this baby runs on the new BlackBerry 6 platform, just like the Torch 9800, and if the rest of the reported specs are true, it’ll sport a 2.4-inch display, 5-megapixel camera with flash, 512MB RAM (that’s twice as much RAM on the Bold 9700) with 3G and WiFi connectivity. For more pics, just click the link to the source site above. Unless Google’s translation is mistaken (and we know that’s been known to happen sometimes), the BlackBerry Bold 9780 is said to be launching in Vietnam by next month. No word yet on its pricing or when it might hit the North American market though we expect this to change soon especially if the supposed October launch is true. [source]
