Just a few hours ago, we’ve reported that BlackBerry Bold 9900 might not release until September, 2011. But Sprint might be readying the BlackBerry Bold 9930 handset to release in August. Folks over CrackBerry blog have managed to get a couple of screenshots of a leaked memo, which is suggesting that the CDMA version of the Bold 9900, the BlackBerry Bold 9930 will be landing on the Sprint network on August 21st. If the rumors spreading about the Blackberry Bold 9900 handset’s September launch become true, it could also affect the Sprint branded Blackberry Bold 9930 handset’s August launch.
BlackBerry Bold 9930 comes with new BlackBerry OS 7, and features a 2.8-inch “Liquid Graphics” VGA screen with 640 x 480 pixels resolution, powered by 1.2GHz Snapdragon application processor inside, embedded with NFC chip for mobile payments, and brings a magnetic compass to support augmented reality apps, equipped with a 5-megapixel flash-equipped camera,which is capable of 720p HD video recording capability, 768MB RAM, and 8GB of internal storage and scope for 32GB memory expansion.
