The handsets from RIM (Research In Motion) have been lagging behind many of the most popular phones from Apple and whole host of Android powered phones. Despite being behind, the Blackberry phones have always had a decent following. The newest model in a long line of handsets is the Bold Torch 9900.

At the heart of the Torch 9900 smartphone is a powerful 1.2 GHz Snapdragon processor and 8GB’s of memory standard with the included SD card. The memory is upgradable up to 32GB’s with an optional 32MB SD card. Along with all of its power it features the latest Blackberry OS version 7.

This unlocked cell phone features a awesome 2.8” TFT capacitive touch screen which is a definite plus. It includes an easy to operate QWERTY keyboard which makes text messaging and app activation very easy to accomplish. The touch screen is very responsive to the slightest touch so you don’t need to worry about awkward delays when using it.

Pictures and Videos

RIM decided to pull out all of the stops when it comes to taking pictures and video clips. The built-in the 5 megapixel camera is capable of shooting ultra high quality pictures along with shooting 720p video. This makes it more than capable to snap pictures when the desire hits you or when some thing happens that you really want to capture it on video. RIM included several extra features like Auto Flash, Face detecting and image stabilizer to improve the picture and video capture experience.

Screen and Keypad

The 2.8” TFT touch screen is smaller than many of its competitors, but that does not take away from its high quality. It features a very impressive 640 x 480 pixels and a 285ppi density to give you an awesome look. It also features an accelerometer to give the ability to rotate the screen from landscape to portrait and back again just by rotating the device.

The keypad has received some improvements over previous Torch models, the keypad itself is wider thanks to the additional width of the device. The keys themselves have a contoured shape to give them a better feel. There are silver bands which separate the rows of keys to add an additional visual appeal.

The ability to boost memory in a device is always a brilliant feature in terms of easily increased functionality and longevity. Mobile phones, games consoles, digital cameras, digital SLR cameras, media players, PDAs – users of all kinds of devices can benefit from a little extra memory.

Memory card basics there are three common types of memory card  Micro SD (Micro Secure Digital), SD (Secure Digital), and Compact Flash. The first thing a user should asses when pinpointing memory card needs is to check which of these fits into the integrated slot of their device e.g. most mobile phones accommodate Micro SD cards due to their diminutive size combined with high memory capability. Compact Flash memory cards tend to be associated with digital SLR cameras thanks to their HUGE memory potential and incredible image quality. SD memory cards mark the most widespread utilization, with almost all standard digital cameras employing this style of memory card.

Still, there’s a further definition to look out for when trawling the internet for the cheapest memory cards  HC (High Capacity) It’s not hard  any SD or Micro SD memory card over 4GB is classified as High Capacity and so boasts the inits HC e.g. SDHC = any SD card over 4GB, Micro SDHC = any Micro SD card over 4GB. It’s worth noting that some older devices cannot accommodate SDHC cards.

The speed of a memory card is generally defined within the user’s manual and helps selection of the SD memory card that will maximize device performance. Most devices have a minimum speed 2MB/s (Class 2), 4MB/s (Class 4), 6MB/s (Class 6) or 10MB/s (Class 10) Many devices issue a helpful warning to the user upon insertion of an inadequate memory card to illustrate it’s minimum requirement.

Once a user figures out the type of memory card required, next comes size. Choosing the wrong size can prove incredibly frustrating at a later date, so if in doubt  go bigger! Of course the capability of the device, frequency and matter of use tend to be deciding factors. Currently, in terms of non-professional use, the most sought after sizes of memory card range from 1GB to 16GB.

But 1GB/4GB/8GB what does that mean in real use? A 2GB memory card will hold approximately 770 high quality photos, 30 minutes of movie time, or about 35 hours music. 16GB memory card stats list photo capacity at around 6,100 high quality photos, 240 minutes of movie time, or 273 hours music. Some users prefer to define projects, split over a number of low capacity memory cards, whereas others enjoy the simplicity of a single HC memory card. A neat trick of media students the world over is the buy a single lower capacity card and transfer media quickly to their computers.

The amount of versatile extra memory available in the form of easy-to-replace, simply memory cards is growing continuously, with 32GB capacity memory cards readily accessible and relatively inexpensive to buy.
