The BlackBerry Bold 9780 is getting some nice facetime recently. It was first caught on camera and spotted in a UAProf document last week. Now we have some more pictures courtesy of Driphter for us all to check out. The only real change in the hardware from the original 9700 is a bump to 512mb of memory. Other than that it seems to be just a bump to get it ready for BlackBerry 6.
The interesting thing to note is that the BlackBerry 6 OS is taking up about 206mb out of the 512 available since there are 306mb free. That means that it could theoretically work on the original 9700 and other 256mb devices but it might be a stretch. Hopefully RIM figures a way to make it happen or users might be really peeved to see yet another device get a hardware revision and a new OS.
What do you think?
