A physical QWERTY keyboard is the whole point here, and BlackBerry OS 7.1 runs on it rather than Android. The 806 MHz single-core chip and 512MB of RAM keep things basic, matched to a small 2.8-inch IPS screen at 480 x 360 pixels. This is a phone built for typing and messaging, not multitasking or gaming.

The 5MP rear camera with LED flash covers casual photos, though there's no front camera for selfies or video calls. A 1450 mAh battery powers it, and storage tops out at 512MB internally, stretched further with a microSD card up to 32GB. BlackBerry 9720 price in Malaysia starts from RM603.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, A-GPS and stereo FM radio round out the connectivity, so it's not entirely bare-bones despite its age. It comes in Black, White, Purple, Blue and Pure Pink, giving buyers who want a keyboard phone a bit of color choice.
