Social BlackBerry 9720

The press statement starts Carlo Chiarello, Executive Vice President for Products at BlackBerry. He points out that it is a model designed for users starting their adventure with smartphones, as well as to existing holders of previous models, now seeking "a richer experience and a jump in performance and style." Vice President ensures that the new model "offers all the basic sensations associated with the use of your BlackBerry smartphone" and has "the best keyboard and functionality for BBM, as well as an updated BlackBerry 7 OS that adds many enhancements." Not having a phone in my hand, I will not take up a discussion with his assessment. Based on the descriptions and pictures it can be said that in addition to clear, distinct keys in the QWERTY, the phone also has a 2.8-inch touch screen and a trackpad for easy navigation. It can be assumed that the service will actually be comfortable. The press release also tells us that the phone has a "long battery life".

• Multicast to Make Yourself Heard in an Instant – The refreshed BlackBerry 7 OS lets you quickly type your message once and post it simultaneously and instantly to your friends on BBM, Twitter and Facebook. You can even snap a picture and post it to multiple social networks all at the same time, right from the camera app.
• A dedicated BBM key, that makes it quick and convenient to access the globally popular mobile social network, and with its BlackBerry Keyboard, messaging your BBM friends is easy and accurate. The latest version of BBM, which features BBM Channels, will also soon be available for download on the BlackBerry World storefront, letting you tune in and connect with the businesses, brands, celebrities and groups you are passionate about.
• The smart phone is also equipped with BBM Voice, which allows free calls over Wi-Fi.
• BlackBerry Enterprise Server or BlackBerry Enterprise Server Express, combined with the functions of management and security applications provide business performance.

It should also be noted that BlackBerry 9720 is equipped with the operating system BlackBerry 7 OS version 7.1, which has an updated interface that allows you to unlock the screen with a gesture, or access the camera from the lock screen, as well as other additional enhancements.
