Price last checked: 29 Jun 2015. Confirm current price before buying.
BlackBerry Bold 9790 price in Malaysia starts from RM999, and it's built around the QWERTY keyboard layout the brand was known for rather than a touchscreen-only design. The 2.45-inch TFT display runs at a modest 480 x 360 pixels, paired with a 1 GHz Marvel Tavor MG1 processor and 768 MB of RAM. Storage sits at 8 GB, but a microSD slot takes that up to 32 GB if you need more room.
The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus and LED flash, useful for casual shots though there's no front camera for selfies or video calls. Connectivity covers dual-band Wi-Fi, A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.1 and HSDPA data up to 7.2 Mbps. A 1230 mAh battery keeps things running on BlackBerry OS 7.0, in a body that weighs just 107 g and comes in Black or White.
