BlackBerry 'Colt' rumored to be RIM's first QNX phone, targeted for Q1 2012
Today pegs a device codenamed “Colt” as the first with QNX… and it’s not expected until the first quarter of 2012. Little is known on what Colt has to offer, but interestingly, it’s said that testing is currently occurring on single-core prototypes — RIM co-boss Mike Lazaridis had made a really big deal about the fact that we’d have to wait for multi-core to go mainstream before seeing QNX on phones (it’s possible that they’re just waiting for multi-core prototypes to become available for testing, but that’s unclear). And here’s the kicker: RIM’s said to be having an “extremely difficult” time getting BES working with QNX. They’re working on it, but BGR claims that the current plan is to provide Microsoft Exchange support initially through ActiveSync instead. That’s pretty wild considering that BES is one of RIM’s headline selling points — I’d personally think that they’d rather hold off on the Colt until getting those ducks in a row — but this is how the rumor stands at the moment. And maybe most importantly, there’s no word on the Colt’s physical design; BGR If they truly are testing QNX on a single-core, it does open the opportunities for this line-up to one day get QNX running on them (watered down perhaps?). What’s most intriguing about this, is that BES is not working. Due to the nature of QNX, RIM could launch with a provisional method of syncing and then just adding the proper BES support, right? And for the mock-up, I’d say something in the lines of the 9860 rather than the 9900. I recall owning a few Windows Mobile devices and even a Nokia smartphone (yes, this was years ago) that were running something called Blackberry Connect. It allowed me to use RIM’s email services even though I was not using a BlackBerry OS. It was fast and reliable for me. I also recall that some who were using this did have enterprise connections as well as BIS email. Can something similar not be accomplished here? I guess this must be the same reason for the Playbook having yet to offer an integrated email client. Big open source projects tend to be very secure. But Android’s security isn’t the greatest because each of the 300+ phone models has it’s own unique customized build of Android, so they can not easily be updated when vulnerabilities are found. The Nexus phones will get an update immediately from Google, but the remaining majority is stuck waiting for manufacturers/carriers while they download the code from Google and ruin the new version with their bloat. This process takes months, if it happens at all.

BlackBerry phones used to rule the roost in the business phone segment, but they are not the default choice any more for those looking to buy a business smartphone. There are plenty of other alternatives available in the market out there, which also provide the capabilities of entertaining yourself. This is something that is almost non-existent in the current crop of BlackBerry phones apart from a few. Therefore, the need for the hour is a proper BlackBerry phone that it can also work well when entertainment is demanded. The BlackBerry Bold 9900 seems to be the perfect choice, but up until now, this phone has been kept as a secret.
However, BlackBerry finally launched this device in various countries across the globe, with the United Kingdom being one of the prominent markets. This tri-band phone will be arriving soon at your local shop on contract options, which are likely to cost around £ 30 per month. This represents an incredible value, something that has been missing in the BlackBerry phones of late. In addition to the cost savings, you will also be able to appreciate the amount of features present in the phone. It is almost as if this is a high end smartphone that is very similar to the Android and the iPhone rivals.
The BlackBerry Bold 9900 comes with a 2.8 inch touch screen display, which is really the star of the show. This is because of the high resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, which takes care of any images that you need to display the phone. Even though the size of the display may be small, it is compensated extremely well by the presence of this high resolution figure. In fact, it is this high resolution figure coupled with the small size of the display that makes all the difference with regard to the quality of the images produced. All these features will be overshadowed by the usage of the BlackBerry OS 7.
This is the latest version of the operating system from BlackBerry that will make a lot of improvements including the much awaited new web browser. The presence of the 1.2 GHz processor makes it easy for the phone to run this operating system, which is also going to use various graphics to make the user experience a pleasant one. The backlit keyboard is another great feature of the phone, which makes it easy to type fast even in the dark. This is something that would be great if employed in every other phone, but as it is, this feature is likely to be an exclusive of the BlackBerry Bold 9900. The BlackBerry Bold 9900 packs in a punch with the five megapixel unit, which is another surprising aspect of the phone.
