RIM Publishes Display Specs, Simulators for Bold 9790, Curve 9380

You are in a BlackBerry Post

Last month, we saw two unreleased BlackBerry handsets show up in the BlackBerry App World developer portal. The Bold 9790 and Curve 9380 have yet to be formally announced by RIM, even though we've been able to learn a good deal about what to expect from them. Today, RIM posted some additional specs for the pair on its Inside BlackBerry Developer's Blog.

It's unusual for unannounced smartphones to be so casually referred-to by their manufacturers, but apparently RIM has no problem letting people know about this pair. This time around, it wanted to alert developers to the display characteristics of the phones, including screen size and pixel density. The company has also updated its simulation tools to support these two models.

Both BlackBerrys share a 360 x 480 resolution, but their differing display sizes result in a big swing in pixel density, from 189ppi with the Curve 9380 up to 245ppi on the Bold 9790 with its 2.44-inch screen.

The 9790 is more or less Bold 9900 hardware, supposed to include a 1.2GHz CPU and NFC support. The 9380 goes the full-touch route, having no hardware QWERTY keyboard (and explaining the need for a larger display), and likely containing an 800MHz chip.

Samsung Publishes Verizon Illusion Render

You are in an Android Post

We've seen the Samsung Illusion for Verizon together with the Pantech Breakout LTE when renders of the two phones headed to Big Red surfaced on the internet. It now appears that Samsung itself has published an official press render of the Illusion phone, ahead of any other official announcement.

We're expecting the Illusion to land around the end of month but the specs aren't certain. Still, expect to see entry-level-like specs on the SCH-i110, like an 800MHz or even a 1GHz processor, HVGA resolution screen, and a three, maybe five-megapixel camera. Android 2.3 Gingerbread could be a nice addition and you can see Samsung's own TouchWiz user interface running on top of the Google platform.

If you are currently on Sprint and considering the Galaxy S II -- under the name of Sprint Epic 4G Touch -- which we have recently unboxed, you can also get to know the phone a little better before purchasing as its user manual has been made available by the carrier.

Saving the PDF file from the source link will get you 190 pages of literature about the Sprint Galaxy S II where you can learn about hardware and software features of the phone. On top of Android, there's Samsung's own TouchWiz 4.0 user interface which makes the phone even more usable. You can find that and much more in the manual.
