BlackBerry 9720

Another BlackBerry 7 Phone

Although BB10 is here, BlackBerry has not been able to make them affordable enough for emerging markets like Nigeria; hence the company had to look towards the older BB7 when it wanted to build a cheaper smart phone. BlackBerry 9720 runs on BlackBerry 7.1 OS with an 806MHz processor with 512MB RAM.

BlackBerry 9720 features a large 2.8-inch touch display, which is same size as the once top in line BlackBerry Bold 9900. The two phones are also about the same size. So, in BlackBerry 9720 BB fans will be getting a decently sized touch display at a more affordable price.

BlackBerry 9720 is a good value smart phone and considering the specs advances, it is probably the best value BlackBerry smart phone for a long time. Assuming this phone performs smoothly it will do well in the marketplace. It may not be enough to save BlackBerry, but if BB continues to build phones like this (at even lower price points) that taps on its experience in emerging markets there may still be hope for the company.
