I have to admit that I’ve been a fan of touch screen smartphones going all the way back to Windows Mobile devices that you had to use a stylus on. I am also on the record for saying that the the keyboard on the original BlackBerry Bold 9000 is the best physical keyboard any smartphone has ever seen. The BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 joins the best of both worlds adding a touch screen that stands on its own against the iPhone or any Android device and reintroducing the best physical QWERTY keyboard of all time.

The title of this commercial is “Harmony”, and, that is exactly what RIM has achieved on the new BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930.
