RIM just announced its thinnest smartphone yet, the BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930 aka the BlackBerry Bold Touch, releases this summer. The phone runs on a 1.2 GHz Snapdragon processor, includes NFC connectivity and a capacitive touchscreen interface, and support for HSPA+ data networks or CDMA/EVDO with GSM voice. RIM will run on BlackBerry 7 (BlackBerry OS 6.1).

Included is an interesting product called Balance. Balance allows remote wiping and full app control preventing for example, copying text from an e-mail to app. This will surely interest the corporate crowd. It ensures separation of corporate and personal content and will likely lead to greater adoption by the personal user.
