hey guys it's Brandon Minnemann from pocketnow.com we don't really cover blackberry that much on Pocket now but we couldn't resist the opportunity to review the 9930 the hottest blackberry beau that's out there right now it's got a high-resolution VGA screen a 1.2 gigahertz processor running on BlackBerry OS 7 it's hot it's on Verizon let's unbox this so if you're looking for a phone with the best keyboard out there this is probably it and you're kind of going to be discovering it for the first time along with me again we don't cover blackberry that much on pocket now I'm going to embrace this as a daily driver for a few weeks and really try to experience blackberry the best blackberry really that RIM has to offer right now to see really where the operating system is how the hardware is now that it's competing against what's out there for Android the iPhone and of course Windows Phone 7 so here we go this is on Verizon Wireless of course kind of an expensive price tag 249 with a new two-year agreement definitely pushing the envelope there in terms of pricing so we've got the device here we'll take it out and set it aside really sweet keyboard we're going to see what's down below here we've got some some manuals included nice screen clean cleaning shabby that's always going to be important set that aside to the left we've got the battery which I've already put in just to turn it on and we've got the charger over there and over here we have a holster so let's see if the holster is made out of quality materials hopefully leather or something good smell test I'm definitely not leather it's kind of a lower quality case it's got the magnetic clasp here and a nice sweet buckle do you want to carry it on your belt so let's take a look at the bode 9930 again we're running with a Qualcomm 1.2 gigahertz processor here 768 megabytes of RAM definitely a lot of power here and the screen has an impress we high pixel density it is at 286 PPI which is getting close to the 300 PPI threshold of where the human eye can't even see pixels anymore the resolution is 480 down by 640 across that is VGA and it's a 2.8 inch screen it's touch screen so blackberry putting together sort of a hardware form factor with the touch screen so you get a the best of both worlds over on the back we've got this cool carbon fiber look the device is pretty darn thin it's about ten point five millimeters it's got this nice brushed aluminum fit and finish definitely a super high quality looking device here and it feels super high quality in the hand already have turned it on but haven't activated it yet but we can just get a sense for how crisp and clear the screen is it's really going to be a fantastic experience running here on BlackBerry OS 7 so we're gonna activate this test it going to integrate it into my personal life so I can report on what using on blackberry is like these days I've been using Android for a while before that I was using Windows Phone 7 before that I was using iOS so kind of doing the round robin here trying to experience the latest and greatest from the smartphone manufacturers if you liked this video please give us a thumbs up and thanks for watching that's it for now
