BlackBerry Bold 9900/30 announced with BB OS 7

[DivideBYZero]

Nice looking unit, in fact thinnest BB yet and only 130gr, with OS7 & "Liquid Graphics" which is big talk for a full OS GFX acceleration.

This phone is full of fail. Way too small of a screen to be touch screen.

Also, Blackberry should work on their visual design. The shape of current phones is kind of lame. I'd like a rectangular phone like the iPhone4.

Also OS7 is just 6.1 rebranded.

No sense in buying this; might as well wait for qnx phones.

I was a big fan of my 9000. The screen is fine for me, as you don't need the size for typing as you would with pure touch.

I'm still waiting for this platform in the pure touch form, AKA 'Monaco'.

The trackpad is easier considering the small screen. My Torch seems way better.
