BlackBerry Bold 9790 price in Malaysia starts from RM999, and it's built around the QWERTY keyboard layout the brand was known for rather than a touchscreen-only design. The 2.45-inch TFT display runs at a modest 480 x 360 pixels, paired with a 1 GHz Marvel Tavor MG1 processor and 768 MB of RAM. Storage sits at 8 GB, but a microSD slot takes that up to 32 GB if you need more room.

The rear camera is a 5 MP unit with autofocus and LED flash, useful for casual shots though there's no front camera for selfies or video calls. Connectivity covers dual-band Wi-Fi, A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.1 and HSDPA data up to 7.2 Mbps. A 1230 mAh battery keeps things running on BlackBerry OS 7.0, in a body that weighs just 107 g and comes in Black or White.
