    BlackBerry Bold 9900 Available for Pre-order on Contract

    Along with Nokia, RIM has been one of the major mobile phone producers that has taken a bit of a backseat in recent years as they have struggled to adapt to the newly emerging touchscreen market. While companies such as Samsung and HTC have successfully adapted to the new environment, BlackBerry have been trying in vain to stick to their guns.
