Blackberry Bold 9900 is delayed

THE BLACKBERRY Bold 9900 has been delayed by four days, according to recent reports.

According to online retailer Clove's blog, it originally expected the Blackberry Bold 9900 to arrive on Monday 15 August, but stock will be now be delayed until Friday 19 August.

Apparently, this delay will apply to all UK BlackBerry stock.

Clove promised Blackberry fans, "We will still be one of the first online vendors to receive stock of the 9900 next Friday. As always we will begin shipping orders the day that stock arrives subject to the time that it actually gets here."

At the start of this month Research in Motion (RIM) announced its "biggest launch ever" of two Bold and three Torch models along with its Blackberry 7 operating system (OS).

All of the smartphones including the thin Bold 9900 have a 1.2GHz processor, HD video calling, 24-bit high resolution graphics and advanced sensors supporting augmented reality apps such as Wikitube.

RIM's Blackberry 7 OS apparently introduces a significantly faster web browser that RIM claims delivers a "more fluid" browsing experience. Other features include zooming and panning plus optimised HTML5 performance for better gaming and video responsiveness. µ
