While the flagship BlackBerry Bold 9900 is getting the limelight, the older Bold 97XX series is getting a refreshed as well. Above is a clear shot of the upcoming BlackBerry Bold 9790 which is said to be having Bold 9900′s hardware such as a 1.2GHz processor, a touch screen, 5MP camera, NFC and 8GB of storage.

Last month, RIM themselves have announced the existence of such model in their development blog. From the pic above, there’s a slight difference with the main buttons and it appears to be individually raised like the ones seen on the Torch 9860.

No launch dates have been officially announced but rumour suggests that it will be officially revealed sometime this month. The Bold 9790 might be the next Blackberry for those that prefer the existing Bold 9780 size and design.

U Mobile have been slashing its prepaid BlackBerry rates quite regularly. Not too long ago, they have reduced their daily BlackBerry daily subscription to RM0.88/day. Now they have also reduced their weekly and monthly subscription to RM5.50/week and RM19/month.

This is among the cheapest and the plans include additional data usage such as video streaming. As comparison, Tune Talk charges RM0.98/daily or RM28/monthly but their additional data usage is charged at 5sen/MB.

The biggest buzz around the BlackBerry camp all weekend is this mysterious device known only as the BlackBerry R47 (aka 9980 aka codename “Knight”). The R47 is apparently a ultra-premium smartphone created by Porsche Design based on the BlackBerry Bold 9900.

Porsche Design is a design studio owned by Porsche that specialises in limited edition premium lifestyle products and accessories that are imbued with the Porsche design DNA.

At the moment very little (nothing confirmed) is known about the device save for what can be deduced from the allegedly leaked pictures that first surfaced on a Chinese-based website www.maxpda.com.

So far, it appears that the R47 has virtually identical internals as the Bold 9900 including the touchscreen, NFC and BlackBerry 7 OS. Also, the device looks to be thinner than the 9900 and the keyboard looks like it would not be as comfortable to use.

Right now nothing is confirmed and the R47 is still shrouded in mystery. But if it is indeed true that an ultra-premium radically-designed limited edition Bold 9900-based smartphone is in the works, we seriously wonder what sense would it make when the presumably cheaper mass-market Bold 9900 will essentially offer the same features and performance.

What do you think?

More pictures of the mysterious R47 after the jump.

For those who are into DIY, here’s a teardown video of the BlackBerry Bold 9900. Instead of the usual iFixit, this teardown is brought to you by DirectFix. The video shows you step by step directions from dismantling the screen and other parts as well as putting them back together.

Obviously dismantling your brand new Bold 9900 would void your warranty but it serves as a good repair guide for situations that are not covered under warranty.

BlackBerry users, it’s time to sell-off/give away your old Blackberrys and start saving up for the Bold 9900. It’s official, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 will hit stores September 19 15 and here’s the best part, you don’t need to sign for a contract with a telco to purchase one.

On launch day, the Bold 9900 will be available for purchase from authorised dealers outright, however there’s no word on pricing yet at the moment.

If you’re still keen to get the Bold 9900 with a contract, Celcom, DiGi and Maxis, have already opened registrations of interest. We’re expecting U Mobile to offer the device soon as well. Three telcos opening ROI simultaneously for the same device, this is something you don’t see very often.

The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the first Bold to feature a touchscreen interface and it is quite possibly the best Bold ever. At 10.5mm thin, it’s definitely the thinnest Bold ever. In fact, the 9900 is the thinnest and most powerful smartphone BlackBerry has ever produced with a much improved BlackBerry 7 OS, a 1GHz processor, 8GB of on-board memory, NFC support and a 5MP camera with 720p video recording capability that’s the best we’ve seen on a BlackBerry device.

If there’s only one BlackBerry that we can recommend to you, this is it.

The anticipated BlackBerry Bold 9900 is also coming to DiGi. Today they have commenced registration of interest for those wish to be the first to know when it is available.

Earlier this week, Maxis too has started its BlackBerry Bold 9900 ROI. Based on past experience, ROI doesn’t necessary mean they would be the first to launch. Who knows Celcom or even U Mobile might make the first move to offer it in Malaysia.

To pre-register, head over to DiGi’s page.

Finally some signs that BlackBerry Bold 9900 is coming to Malaysia. Maxis today has commenced its registration of interest for BlackBerry’s new Bold device which now comes with a 2.8″ touch screen.

The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is RIM’s answer to narrow the gap with its rival smart phones today. The specs of having a 1.2GHz processor, 768MB RAM and 8GB of internal storage does seem promising. Earlier on we’ve seen a video sample at HD 720p which is actually pretty good. No pricing details are available yet but they better priced it competitively as most flagship devices are below RM2300 mark.

DiGi is giving a special offer when you can buy 3 BlackBerry devices for the price of 2. The offer which runs from now until 31st August 2011 is applicable for BlackBerry Torch 9800, BlackBerry Bold 9780 and BlackBerry Curve 9300.

2 of the device must be tied with a DG Smart Plan for 24 months and it can be registered under 2 different names. This promo is only available at DiGi Retail Centres located at SohoKL and Bangsar, which makes it out of reach for those outside the Klang Valley.

There’s also another catch with the offer. The Free 3rd BlackBerry unit is not covered with warranty as written in their FAQ:

A6. As per usual procedure, phones that are free-of-charge will not carry a warranty.
