As smartphones start proving themselves to be the tool that most of the world uses to communicate, we bring to you the best BlackBerry phone, which make up a significant part of the business handsets market. Over the years since its inception, we have seen BlackBerry grow to become more consumer friendly, and thus, more popular as well. With services like BBM, push email, IM and more, it has not only garnered fans all over the world, but has also drawn the attention of a lot of rivals.
1 – BlackBerry Bold 9930:
Sporting a 2.8-inch display of 640 x 480p resolutions, the BlackBerry Bold 9930 is protected with brushed stainless steel frame on its exterior, which also adds a touch of boldness to its visual appeal. The battery of this device offers 50 hours of continuous music playback and 12.8 days of standby time. The talk time varies from 6.6 hours in CDMA, 6.3 for GSM, and 5.9 for UMTS.

Another addition to RIM’s latest full touch range of devices, the BlackBerry Torch 9860 flaunts a 3.7-inch transmissive TFT LCD touchscreen of the 800 x 480p WVGA type. It offers 768MB RAM memory along with 4GB eMMC. The external memory is expandable up to 32GB with a microSD memory card. It features a 5MP camera with continuous auto focus, zero shutter lag and 720p HD recording.

The phone was on sale at Rogers for a price of $199 back in August.
3 – BlackBerry Bold 9900:
This one is pretty similar to the Bold 9930, but for fact that it does not offer CDMA support. The BlackBerry Bold 9900 handset functions only on GSM and UTMS networks. Operating on the latest BlackBerry 7 operating system like the handsets in this compilation, the device gives access to the BlackBerry App World which opens up numerous applications, games, and a lot more. It is embedded with a QC 8655 1.2GHz processor and has an expandable memory of up to 32GB. Marked for a price of $299.99 through T-Mobile at release, this handset is also equipped with a 5MP camera to capture those special moments.

Launched along with the 9360 and 9370, the BlackBerry Curve 9350 is described by RIM as a social minded smartphone. It is crafted with a narrow QWERTY keypad, and a display of 480 x 360p resolutions. Apart from GPS, Wi-Fi, and 3G connectivity, the handset is also NFC enabled which allows you to connect to other such devices with just a tap and share multimedia and other content. Its internal memory is 512MB eMMC and it has RAM of the same capacity. The appearance of this $200 device from U.S. Cellular can be personalized with the merlot hued skin offered separately by BlackBerry.
5 – BlackBerry Torch 9810:
Designed in a slider form factor, the BlackBerry Torch 9810 opens up to reveal a full QWERTY keypad. The Liquid Graphics technology enhances the display with fluid animations, improved response times and better graphics. A 5MP camera with flash and 720p video recording lets you preserve your special moments with the use of only a mobile phone. This handset, along with the others in the list, comes with a pre-loaded BlackBerry browser with HTML5 video support. It also offers speech-to-text translation, with which users can search for files, email, contacts, music, web, and more with just voice commands. This one will set you back by $50 along with two year agreement and rebate charges via AT&T.
6 – BlackBerry Curve 9370:
Differing from the Curve 9350 with its support for quad-band, GSM, GPRS, EDGE networks, the BlackBerry Curve 9370 offers up to 45 hours of music playback. The devices feature what RIM describes as a Waterfall design, paired with a flowing soft-touch band around the circumference of the device which apparently makes it comfortable to hold. Adding to this ease, the phone weighs only 99g inclusive of the battery. It is incorporated with an 800MHz processor and features a keypad with 35 backlit buttons and an optical trackpad.
