14 DAY TRIAL // Initially slated for a January 9 release in the UK, the BlackBerry Bold 9790’s launch was delayed due to unknown reasons.
However, UK-based retailer Clove has a new deadline for the smartphone’s arrival, which might appeal to RIM fans. The Bold 9790 should be available for purchase in the UK on January 20 via Clove.
The smartphone is currently available for pre-order for £342 (525 USD or 415 EUR) outright, but the price might drop closer to the release date.
In the same news, Orange and O2 UK confirmed they would carry the BlackBerry Bold 9790 as well, but did not reveal any exact release dates for the smartphone.
The Bold 9790 is one of the latest BlackBerry 7 smartphones launched by RIM and comes with a decent 2.45-inch standard display, 1GHz single core processor, 768MB of RAM and NFC support.
