Quotes
“The new Bold 9900 is the best BlackBerry RIM has ever made. By combining touch-screen capability with a high quality and comfortable-to-use keyboard, the Bold 9900 will appeal not only to its existing user base but also to customers that enjoy a touch-screen device but with the accuracy a keyboard delivers. With BlackBerry OS7 and RIM’s new devices it is well positioned to maintain its strong growth that it continues to see in markets like the UK, Saudi Arabia and South Africa.”

“With the launch of BlackBerry OS7, RIM’s new portfolio will benefit from a number of enhancements. Particular attention has been paid to further improving web browsing, incorporating HTML5 capabilities, and to a usability with a range of improvements to the user interface that have improved the overall BlackBerry experience. The support of NFC in the new OS7 should not be under estimated. It is an acknowledgement of the importance of this feature to RIM’s operator partners, and it is an area in which Canalys expects to see significant activity and growth in 2012.”
