For BlackBerry 9780, maybe is no longer strange to you It is an upgraded version of the BlackBerry 9700. From July, the exposure of this mysterious type is increasing, which explains a problem that it is getting closer and closer to us. Recently, there is news that Canada’s second-largest telecommunications operator TELUS has already started preparing for the listing of the new machine. Maybe it will be launched on October 21.But we haven’t got any information about the listed price.

BlackBerry 9780 and 9700 is similar in appearance. The reason why RIM re-launch this classic model maybe is that they want to make some of its upgrade. The BlackBerry 9780 might will use the new BlackBerry OS 6.0 operating system, CPU frequency to 624MHz, a 2.4-inch screen, resolution 480 × 360 pixels remains, the back carrying a 5 million pixel camera, with LED flash, memory of 512MB (RAM), built-in Wi-Fi and GPS navigation chip. There is information before that the BlackBerry 9780 supports 32GB of micro SD card expansion.



Here are the current specs we know:

624Mhz Processor
512MB Flash RAM
OS 6.0.0.125 (possible launch build)
480x360 Resolution Screen TFT, 65K colors
5.0 MP Camera with LED Flash
Trackpad
GSM / UMA / HSPA+?
Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP
Wi-Fi b/g (possibly N?)
Gun Metal Bezel

In fact, 9700 has been within the scope of the list which lists the upgraded new version of BlackBerry BlackBerry OS 6.0 operating system, but RIM may be taken into account the carrying capacity of 9,700 hardware, so re-launch the Bold of this classic series. When there comes a comprehensive listing BlackBerry 9780, perhaps that is the date of the BlackBerry 9700 hero ended.

Upgrading Procedure for an Official OS release is as follows:

1. Download the OS and install it on your PC. (Make sure you have already removed any older OSes you have installed on your PC by going to Add / Remove Programs in Control Panel)

2. Delete the vendor.xml file (located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader)

3. Backup your 3rd party applications ( optional recommended step )

4. Connect your BlackBerry to your PC and right click on a file named Loader (located in the same place where you found the vendor.xml > C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader\Loader.exe) and select '' Run As Administrator ''

5. Follow the prompts and make sure you select the languages and applications you wish to be installed.
The Loader will backup and restore your data by default.

Still Having Issues !!?
I would recommend using BBSAK to Upgrade, so

waaa...
when bold 9700 gonna release OS 6...
so long wait for it ..

I might worried this 9780 will stop 9700 from getting OS6, by the way 9700 last OS 5.0.0.979 is leaked and Im downloading it now.. Hopefully after this OS6 will officially released by RIM for 9700.. Chances now for OS6 on 9700 is 50-50..

dun worry, i have fate on RIM they will release OS 6 for 9700...

Pray hard for it!

hopefully..... look nice for OS 6..

Indeed very nice on OS6, you never try the OS6 Themes at my forum "raikko5"?

no worries, RIM announced b4 they wil make support of OS6 for 9700, it's jz a question of time when they gona launch the OS6.

n btw, 9780 looks promising, at least i prefer 9780 > 9800

Ya for those who dont like slider (9800) this is another alternative to get 9780 with the same spec with Torch 9800..

and if you like touch screen ,wait for Storm 3 =)

I believe RIM will be considerate to 9700 users like me =p probably will release OS 6 for 9700 at the same time they release 9780, or probably a month delay from the launch of 9780

Hope so.. Really looking for OS6 on BB 9700..

it looks totally the same like 9700.. O.O

just small difference

This are the difference for now:-

1. 512MB Flash RAM
2. OS 6.0.0.125
3. 5.0 MP Camera with LED Flash
4. Gun Metal Bezel

Just awaiting the full spec to leaked..

Outlook still the same right? just the spec is different.

Yes you are right..

bro how can i get this latest firmware because my bb desktop manager said doesn't have any latest update.. last update .862 something like that.. is that possible all bb 9700 can installed that latest .979 on their phone?

i want to see next blackberry with stainless steel housing..

anyone know when launching and how much..?

Is just a leaked not official, so price nobody will know including RIM staff..
