La compañía Sprint hace el anuncio de nuevos equipos BlackBerry para su porfolio de productos.

Sprint ha anunciado oficialmente que estarán vendiendo el BlackBerry Bold 9930 y el BlackBerry Torch 9850.

En el caso del BlackBerry Torch 9850, recordarán que este iba a ser el rumorado Storm 3, pero debido a la poca expectativa que se le tenía a la series, pues fue migrado a la familia Torch. En otras palabras, si se considera su origen, hubiera marcado el primer Storm en Sprint.

Enhancing the Experience with BlackBerry 7
BlackBerry 7 introduces a next-generation BlackBerry browser with a significantly
faster, more fluid web browsing experience that is up to 40 percent faster than
BlackBerry® 6 based smartphones and up to 100 percent faster than BlackBerry® 5
based smartphones1.

The new BlackBerry Bold 9930 and BlackBerry Torch 9850 smartphones also
feature Liquid Graphics technology, with each smartphone combining a dedicated
high-performance graphics processor with a blazingly fast CPU and stunning high-
resolution display to deliver an incredibly fast, smooth and responsive visual
experience.

Building upon the Universal Search feature introduced in BlackBerry 6, BlackBerry 7
expands the capability to include voice-activated search. This new capability makes it
easier and more convenient to search for content on the smartphone or web.

BlackBerry 7 also integrates BlackBerry® Balance™, which separates personal
content from corporate content, giving users the freedom and flexibility to use
the smartphone for personal email, Facebook®, Twitter®, multimedia, games and
other apps, while satisfying the need for corporate data to be highly secure and
manageable. BlackBerry Balance works in conjunction with BlackBerry® Enterprise
Server 5.0.3, which provides a number of unique IT policy controls, such as wiping
only corporate data or blocking work-related content and apps from being copied or
forwarded to personal contacts.

BlackBerry Bold 9930 and BlackBerry Torch 9850 use the Sprint 3G Network
domestically and offer World Phone capability for international travel to nearly
anywhere in the world. Sprint customers have the power to make or receive phone
calls in more than 185 countries and access to BlackBerry® data services, including
email, apps and web browsing in nearly 150 countries. Customers also have the
option of using a third-party SIM for international voice and data services.
