BlackBerry debuts the 9720 a Qwerty BlackBerry 7 OS device for emerging markets

Image
BlackBerry has officially announced its latest Qwerty smartphone, the BlackBerry 9720.The new device, which runs BlackBerry 7.1 OS, will be available in the "coming weeks" from retailers and carriers in Asia, EMEA and Latin America. BlackBerry has not released pricing yet, however, the devices has drawn comparisons to its BlackBerry 10 OS Qwerty, the Q5, with suggestions it would be a low-cost number designed for emerging markets. The official specs appear to back that up. "It's perfect for customers upgrading from a feature phone or entry-level Android or Windows Phone device, as well as existing BlackBerry smartphone customers, that want a richer experience and jump up in style and performance," Carlo Chiarello, executive vice president for products at BlackBerry, said in a statement. The 9720 comes in five colours and sports a 2.8 inch touchscreen and trackpad as well as the Qwerty keyboard. BlackBerry claims a battery life of seven hours talk time. The 512M...

Build a 12V 7.2Ah SMF Battery Charger Circuit Diagram . The LM317 is an adjustable three-terminal positive-voltage regulator capable of supplying more than 1.5A over an output-voltage range of 1.25 V to 37 V. It is exceptionally easy to use and requires only two external resistors, R2’ and R2” (R2= R2’+ R2”) to set the output voltage. Furthermore, both line and load regulation is better than standard fixed regulators. In addition to having higher performance than fixed regulators, this device includes on-chip current limiting thermal overload protection, and safe-operating-area protection. All overload protection remains fully functional, even if the ADJUST terminal is disconnected. By connecting a fixed resistor, R1 the ADJUST and OUTPUT terminals, the LM317 can function as a precision current regulator. An optional output capacitor can be added to improve transient response.
