RIM makes a solid device. They come apart easy, everything is modular, held in with a minimal number of well placed and cleverly but not impossible to find screws (a la Motorola Droid). These devices can be fixed although with the new optical track-pad what would you need to fix?

This is a gorgeous device, enough said – it will probably look better disassembled.

Remove the battery and back-cover. There you will see 4 hex screws just waiting for your T6. Remove them.

Here comes the tricky and slightly clever part. You’ll probably notice that the device is still held in the upper (camera level) portion. There are two screws located underneath the ear speaker. This is the same construction as the original Tour, and should come as no suprise. Alas, removing this piece of plastic requires a plastic spudger, patience and a will of steel. You can actually break the plastic tabs holding this portion in – be careful.

Once this piece is removed, you’ll see the missing links. Remove these screws and that’s it – everything – PCB, Antennae, inner and outer shell were held in with these 6 – screws. Simple and extremely effective.

Now for the PCB. Dag-nabbit, RIM is still using solid ESD cans without clips. In the past, we’ve found we can remove the solder with a heat gun of powerful soldering iron. They took this a step further (a la Palm Pre) and tossed in some epoxy as well. Alas, after much deliberation, we settled with a dremel.

Argh!

As a small aside, you’ve probably all heard about the iPhone 4′s antenna issues. You also may have seen Jobs’ jab at RIM and attenuation loss on the hallowed 9700. This device is a perfect example of RIM’s mastery in wireless communication. This PCB, is more secure from ESD and heat then Alcatraz. It’s rare to see such solid shielding as it undoubtedly drives manufacturing costs up. Kudos to RIM on this one – it just makes our job harder!

Since the 9650 is a world-phone, the hardware allows access to the following GSM networks: GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS2100. You’ll also get CDMA800 and CDMA1900 support. Hardware wise, there isn’t much difference from the OG Tour I mean Bold I mean, 9630 as you’ll see below:

The 528MHz ARM 11 MSM 7600 reined on the 9630 and we see it’s face again on the 9650 – there’s nothing wrong with the IC, but the 9650 competes with some pretty heavy 1GHz A4 and SnapDragon devices. That said, battery life on this device is fantastic and it seems to handle it’s built in functions well, with little processor lag. Apps? Not so much, it’s not really RIM’s current forte.

Interesting to note is the 256MB of RAM provided by Samsung on the KAT00M NAND + SDRAM MCP. Will this device have enough RAM to run BB OS 6.0? We guess not, seeing the advent and pending launch of the 9780. Worried about your device handling that OS upgrade? Maybe hold out for the 9780 or the other rumoured devices launching with OS 6.0

USB PHY win goes, once again to SMSC with the USB3326, PMIC and RF back to Qualcomm with the PM7540, RTR6500 and RTR6285 respectively. The PA array is courtesy of Skyworks (SK77336-13), Avago (FEM-7758) and TriQuint (TQM613031).

That’s and that’s all! Stay tuned, we’ve got a very interesting device in the queue – looking forward to tearing it apart!

@DrWreck

The BlackBerry Bold brand has always been reserved for RIM’s highest featured handsets. The BlackBerry Bold 9000 entered the market as the company’s first 3G handset while the Bold 9700 was the glossy new premiere of the coveted optical trackpad and new BlackBerry plastics. The BlackBerry 9650 is the next handset to enter the Bold family and rounds out the line up with it’s world-class capabilities.

Last July, RIM launched the BlackBerry Tour 9630 with Sprint and Verizon. It provided travelling BlackBerry users with an updated version of the BlackBerry 8800 world-phone. Since then, RIM has been trying to streamline their many brands – subsequently pushing the Tour under the Bold brand.

Offered by Sprint and Verizon, the features of the 9650 encompass all of great features from the 9000, 9700 and 9630 Tour and wraps them up in a slightly new design.

Price: $449.99 from Sprint or $509.99 from Verizon

With a 2-year contract the device will set you back $199.99 from Sprint or $149.99 from Verizon

Greats

Like I mentioned before, the phone is essentially a mash-up of what is good about the latest Bold family with added network capabilities.

Hardware

Size wise, the phone is a hair larger than the 9700 (Taller, Wider and Thicker). The keys are the same accordion style/guitar frets we see in the Tour and previous Bold devices.

If even for just the addition of the optical track pad, the older Tour deserved an update. The wildly popular ball-less pad is a bit more raised on the 9650 compared to the 8500 making it a bit easier to find and to use. The optical trackpad is as quick and responsive as all other models with this feature. This interface is a giant improvement from the inconsistent and unreliable mechanical track ball.

As for the O/A Form-Factor and housing design, RIM could have done more – but why fix what ain’t broke! The plastics are identical to that of the Tour, so much so that the backing of the previous tour can be used interchangeably with that on the 9650. Fortunately, the carbon f(o)bre look is gone. Heavier than the 8500, the phone holds very steady and has a weighty palm feel. Given the Tour was widely accepted among BlackBerry users as having the best BlackBerry exterior (previous to 9700), we couldn’t be happier with the exterior of the 9650.

RIM is also looking to increase their memory capacities. Internal memory in the 9650 was doubled to 512 MB. Strangely enough, this is still less then the OG 900, which contained a 1GB MoviNAND.

Software

The Bold 9650 comes out of the box equipped with the new BlackBerry OS 5.0 (specifically 5.0.0.6990). As is with all BlackBerry interfaces, the buttons are crisp and clean. Booting up from a battery pull or cold reset is about 30 seconds faster then a BlackBerry running OS version 4.6. Not much but it’s a start in tackling BlackBerry’s notoriously long boot time.

The two most unique features of the 9650 would be the phone’s WiFi connection and OpenGL support. The Tour’s lack of WiFi was a source of complaint from many users. Despite the phone’s wide selection of radio connectivity, a travelling user may find it difficult not being able to take advantage of free WiFi connections in areas of low-connectivity or just for the sake of saving possible roaming fees.

OpenGL support is a new offering from BlackBerry handsets and the 9650 is the first phone (and currently the only phone) to have it. This addition makes the 9650 capable of 3D graphics. This means it’s only a matter of time before some awesome 3D apps become available.

Middle Line Features

The 3.2 megapixel camera is really the only run of the mill feature of the 9650. At PW, it’s understood that megapixels do not always equate to better pictures, but we would love a 5MP CMOS.

It isn’t totally awash however as BlackBerry does include a host of camera options to enhance pictures. You can get a variety of effects using these options. We took the liberty of presenting some below.

Image A - Default Settings, Autofocus = OFF

Image B - Default, White Balance set to Florescent

Image C - Default with AF set to Macro

Image D - Default with Image Stabilization

All images are taken with automatic flash setting. Autofocus provides the most clarity although other options such as White Balance and Image Stabilization are nice features to have. The camera also gives you the ability to enable Geotagging, a feature native and akin to the iPhone. These new options redeem the cameras lack of resolution however not enough for it to be a strength.

Gripes

To be honest, there is little to really pick apart on the 9650. Overall, it does it job of a smart phone very well and shows that BlackBerry definitely takes user feedback into consideration when defining new handsets. The only drawback may be the media player which doesn’t seem to appear as sharp as that of the Bold 9000. The speakers are also not as powerful in terms of volume as the 9000 either. However, pictures are still vibrant and beautiful as always.

The one major weakness of the 9650 is the side loading performance. The memory options are very confusing. With the recent movement to MTP support, BlackBerry has tried to remain flexible and provide users the ability to do mass storage class. A nice gesture but a little confusing to the general user. The default memory setting enables both MTP and MSC however, data movement through either method is unbearably slow. When MTP is shut off, MSC is still not as fast as we would like to see on PW. And of course, when MSC is disabled, MTP is slow, no news there. Overall, the side loading performance is a bust.

As always, the BlackBerry browser could be improved. This is not a fault of the phone but more so a fault of the BlackBerry OS. Hopefully new updates (BB 6.0 and the Flash enabled WebKit browser) will alleviate this common gripe.

Conclusion:

BlackBerry was right in lumping this handset with their high-end products. It certainly delivers in both functionality and style. Although they could have done a bit more in terms feature enhancements (camera and display). RIM has released so many handsets in the last few years and this phone wraps up all of their best components and presents them beautifully. That said, RIM seems to be falling behind the curve – we can’t wait for BB 6.0 and their inevitable re-hash on touch screen devices.

BlackBerry Bold: 8.5/10

Stay Tuned for the Teardown. Don’t forget to follow us on twitter!

@DrWreck

Sharp’s “Waterproof” and Dustproof 841SH came by our desks and we couldn’t resist taking it apart. Most of the devices we teardown are built by large well known ODM’s or OEM’s and have fairly distinguishable reference designs. We knew that Japanese devices were different. What kind of IC’s did they use? Are these asian phones prone to using unmarked, knock-off IC’s?

The answer is not as simple as you might think. Different networks and broadcasted TV capabilities mean different IC’s. The phone definitely includes stuff we haven’t seen before – so what are the familiar devices?

SMSC’s PHY is a device we’ve seen before. USB is a standard in any multimedia enabled mobile phone – even the proprietary connectors on these Japanese phones require a USB transaction device.

This device has both an application core and a baseband – a common design decision employed in many American devices. The difference being that the Toshiba app-core in this device is more or less a fixed function “Multimedia Engine”. This engine handles broadcast TV, and various video codecs render natively on the device.

Taking apart the device wasn’t the most fun thing in the world. Sharp’s ODM used a 5 prong screw – we’ll call it a penta-screw. This is very unlike most phones we see, which have hex screws (6 prongs). Unfortunately, it’s hard to find these in North American, we had to order one from overseas.

The PCB had common, clip-in shields that can be easily pried off with a metal spudger or staple remover.

Once the shields were removed, all of the IC’s were covered with translucent shields, that needed to be pried/melted away. The residue left behind had to be cleaned before we could even ID the devices.

The Applications core we mentioned before is worth a quick discussion. This product is designed by Toshiba and is a device we have not seen in any North American market phones. The T5GE devices contain 3 hardware accelerators – a video codec, a 3D graphics accelerator and JPEG codec. These features are common, with the exception of the support for TV reception. The T5GE’s also incorporate an LCD controller that supports LCD display at resoultions up to FWVGA (864 x 480)

This Phone is also a Dual-band WCDMA ( FDD I / FDD XI ) & Tri-band GSM (GSM900 / DCS1800 / PCS1900 ) Dual mode Cellular Phone. These are bands we definitely do no regularily see in North American devices.

So what’s the skinny? We had a hard time ID’ing many of the chips on this phone. If anything jumps out at you, let us know!

Our conclusion is that some of these devices might be knock-off IC’s but it’s hard to say. The fundamental phone architecture remains the same.

@DrWreck

Stay tuned for a phone review later this week!

Yesterday was a Big day for E-readers. We saw the nook drop to $149.99 (WiFi only) and $199.99 for the 3G model. The Kindle 3 was hovering around $259.99 but made a significant leap to $189.99 at the news! Keep in the mind the kindle comes packaged with 3G regardless of price-point.

This is big news, and greatly reduces the margin each manufacturer takes on the device sale.

On both devices, data is offered for free. We all know from personal experience that data isn’t cheap. We also saw from a previous teardown (Kindle 3) – that these devices are NOT cheap the build. The BOM on the Kindle 3 we took apart hovers around ~$200.

How is Amazon going to make money you may ask! Book sales of course! The Kindle is a promising platform, Apps will definitely extend the Hardware Value proposition in the near future. Not to mention seemless integration with your BlackBerry, iPhone, Desktop and iPad. Amazon has really built an interesting business model and content network – if Dr.Wreck was to jump on an e-reader bandwagon it would definitely be Kindle’s.

Competition from high-cost, multi-purpose devices will definitely drive the cost of e-readers down over the next year or so. At phonewreck, we feel it’s only a matter of time before these things are offered for a few bucks, or the purchase of 10-20 e-books. Wouldn’t that be nice?

You may still think, “$200 for an e-reader is way too much, I’d rather go for an iPad” – Dr.Wreck’s opinion? You probably wouldn’t take the iPad to the beach.

@DrWreck

That’s right – you can now have 128GB of storage in a 17 x 22 x 1.7 mm footprint – brought to you by Toshiba. I can’t help but think this device will have a massive play in the larger devices we’re seeing come to light (See Tablet’s, MIDs, etc.)

Technical Specifications:

5MB of data ~50 years ago

@DrWreck

We love consumer electronic tear-downs, we’ve seen and performed a ton of them. In the past year we’ve seen a pretty considerable level of convergence in multi-use/multi-function IC’s.

A few notable corporations have played a major role in what we’ll call “hardware convergence”. One company that really stands out for leading this front is Qualcomm. Founded in 1985, these guys have definitely withstood the test of time.

Their “do everything mobile reference designs” cover everything a mobile device needs – BaseBand, AppCore, PMIC and even radio tranceivers. This makes it super easy for ANY run-of-the-mill ODM to build state-of the art smartphones. All you really need these days is Google and Qualcomm – save some special extra boutique devices we come across from time-to-time.

We can trace similar HW convergence to what happened with age old PC architecture (leading to the X86 design of modern PC’s). Combining all functionality into a tiny package ARM based processor core is very attractive from a cost and PCB design perspective. Unfortunately, these do-everything IC’s are often met with heavy power requirements. For perspective, each new BlackBerry device that get’s launced is met with reduced charge longevity. Of course, LCD screens are getting brighter and larger but these devices get really hot with use. This has to be related with packing a 1GHz Baseband/App Core/Kitchen Sink under the hood.

Is hardware convergence really even a good thing? In our opinion, yes and no. On one-hand, it should open the space for smaller companies to develop market ready and attractive smartphones. On the other hand, if every device uses the same HW and OS, the only differentiating consumer factor is overall physical design. Building that top-of-the line do everything well device requires custom hardware configurations. We’re talking Capacitive touch screens, Laser-navigation devices and even devices that boost USB transfer speeds.

We can compare this convergence to a Toyota Corolla – it’s reliable and get’s the job-done but doesn’t include the bells and whistles. Our dream device is more comparable to a BMW M5. It’s fast – (maybe not so reliable :S) but allows us to tweak our experience with more options then we’ll probably ever use. Sure, most of those options can be enabled at the Firmware level, but having the supporting Hardware is absolutely required for the optimal, Dr.Wreck approved experience. Let us know what you think!

@DrWreck

Yesterday’s teardown received  a lot of hype. We’re glad we could cater to what many of our readers obviously enjoy! We’ve been working hard with “our friends in high places” to really figure out what makes this thing chug.

Subscribe to the RSS and Twitter!

The device PCB is covered in what we call “cans” which provide ESD, heat and RF interrupt protection. In order to see what’s on the board, Dr.Wreck has to carefully remove each one by melting away the solder points. This is not an easy process as we try our best to keep the device in fully functional order.

On that note, many of you have actually challenged us to reverse yesterdays directions and put this thing back together! This is an entirely possible feat, had we not fully removed the shields.  Even so, we’ll be putting this device back together (shields and all) in an attempt to prove that you can ENTIRELY disassemble a device to bare IC’s and logic board and still re-assemble for full functionality.

We also wanted to take a moment to talk about the progression of mobile devices (note that in this image the Droid’s PCB is fully naked!). On the right side of this photo we have an old “nameless” Nokia device. Back in the day, a devices size was limited by the PCB and the allocation of it’s parts. On the Droid, there is so much integrated functionality that the PCB is actually one of the smallest parts on the device. Of very interesting notice, the screen on the Nokia device is smaller than the PCB. The absolute OPPOSITE is true on the Droid.

Dr.Wreck has that wistful glean of the past in his eye…. sigh…

Here we have the functional Block Diagram put together by  Dr.Wreck for the Motorola Droid.

This device isn’t that much unlike the Palm Pre. The OMAP 3430 is a very promising platform that features the same Imagination Technologies POWERVR SGX graphics core.  However, when fully considered there really isn’t much that compares in terms of full scale integration.

Strangely enough, the device backed by one of Verizon’s largest ad-campaigns as the iPhone killer only has 256MB of RAM and 256MB of integrated NAND storage. How will the Android platform ever contend? Well, Dr.Wreck is currently working on his review… stay tuned for that insight. In the case of the Droid, both memories are provided by Japanese Toshiba. The RAM is stacked on top of the OMAP Applications Core.

Here we have the top of the logic board. Unfortunately, it is difficult to identify many of the larger IC’s on this side. Thankfully, Dr.Wreck has X-ray vision and the ability to feel an IC in order to determine it’s functionality.

We can see the TI TWL5030 PMIC which offers integrated USB, Audio Codec and control over that big 1420mAh BP6x battery. We also see the RF multiplexer’s – one from both AVAGO (FEM7758) and Triquint (TQM613029).

Unfortunately the WiFI/Bluetooth chips are unmarked. If any readers have industry knowledge or an opinion of what these chips might be, feel free to share – that’s what it’s all about!

The underside of the PCB reveals a fairly big surprise – the fairly rare QSC6085 BaseBand with integrated GPS and transceiver functionality. We also see the location of the OMAP processor, cleverly buried underneath the un-distinguishable Toshiba RAM. Not only did Motorola not want us to take this device apart, they didn’t want us to find out what makes it run!

Another really interesting tidbit that pops up on the underside of the board is the Toshiba memory with hand-written markings. More interesting is that these markings appear to say “s”, “2″ and “p”! Here at phonewreck, we’ve been contemplating this phenomena and have come to the conclusion that Sanjay (Co-CEO of Motorola) must have personally signed each chip that went into the Droid. More or less a mark of approval we suppose.

In all seriousness though, this is probably the marking of a sample part. Why in the world is Motorola releasing production devices with sample IC’s? This is only conjecture, but the Droid is supposed to do a multi-million unit run. Hopefully there aren’t quality issues relating to device longevity! Am I right?! Am I right?!

Droid antenna, PCB and Camera Module

This last image shows a close-up of the devices sliding mechanism.

And that’s it! Thanks to everyone who e-mailed in with their support from yesterday’s entry!

Be sure to check out Dr.Wreck’s Twitter and subscribe to the RSS in order to get the update on the newest entries!

Until Next time, KEEP WRECKING!

Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for has arrived. Dr.Wreck has fully dissasembled his Brand New Motorola Droid from Verizon.

Stay tuned to his Twitter, and RSS feed for all the details as they come out! We’re currently in the process of identifying all of the devices on the logic board. Keep it locked on www.phonewreck.com!

Process

Taking this device apart is NO EASY TASK! Motorola has worked wonders to make this thing as suprising and delicate as possible. Dr.Wreck loves challenges, thus he commends you oh, motorola engineers!

The first thing you’ll need to do is remove the back cover and battery. Grab your trusty T6 and remove both the silver and black screws from the rear of the chassis. The silver screw holds the PCB in place. The Black Screws hold the back plate on the screen portion of the device.

Finding the next set of screws was a challenge. Dr.Wreck noticed a small wedge under the plastic piece above the google label at the very back of the phone. Here you’ll need a pin or very small prying device to get underneath and lift it away.

It’s important to be careful with these steps as these plastic pieces tend to be slightly brittle. Once you pull this piece away you will reveal another two T6 screws.  Remove them.

Now to find the other screws… Where could they be?!

Aha, there’s another one placed underneath the google label and camera lens cover! Very sneaky Motorola.. Very sneaky indeed…

Now comes the most frustrating part…

The final 3 screws are located underneath that faux gold grating that covers the bottom of the battery door. Use a pin, wedge or staple remover to pry this up. Remove the 3 final and amazingly disguised T6 screws to free the Droid’s PCB.

Now, use your wedge the pry out the clips on the back part of the frame.

Tada!!!

Unfortunately, we’re far from done. There is still one more silver T6 locking the logic board in place.  Remove that.

Now we need to pop off those flex cables that connect the device to the screen.

You can now flip away the PCB.  And remove the remaining flex cable.

Now that the PCB is free, all that’s really left to do is remove the screen and slider mechanism. This can be done by pulling at the black plastic frame that creates the upper border for the device.

And that’s it! Interestingly enough, the sliding mechanism is essentially just two rails that are imbedded within the screen portion of the device – this is the simplest sliding mechanism we’ve ever seen! Stay tuned for the review to see what Dr.Wreck and Dr.Phone actually think about it!

Ah yes the BlackBerry Tour 9630 – RIM’s answer via Sprint and Verizon to the very successful Bold (available on GSM networks).

Design wise, the Tour shares similarity with all 3 of the current and very successful BlackBerry devices available on the market. It’s got the shape of the storm, the screen of the 8900 and the keyboard of the Bold. In Dr.Wreck’s humble opinion, this device takes all of best physical design features from the current roster tosses them in a pot and mixes up a delicious cup of chowder. This device has good weight, good size and good functionality (screen, keyboard, software).

Alot of you have had difficulties with the trackball. Luckily RIM has disbanded this gosh-forsaken mechanically unstable and frequently unreliable piece of junk for the new optical trackpad we see on the Gemini and the newly announced 9700. Gone are the days of blowing on your trackball in hopes that a gust of bad breath can fix it!

Dr.Wreck has gone ahead and ripped this thing apart to perform a  full teardown and analysis. Click through for all the juicy details!

The first step to taking your Tour apart is to remove the  battery cover and battery. There you will see 4 hex bolts embedded in the plastic frame. Grab your T6 for the best fit. Remove all 4 screws but take note, the screw about midway up the right side of device has a white sticker covering it.

After you remove the screws, you are NOT ready to pull this cover off. Don’t pull, pry push or break.. There are six screws holding the device together – the top two are hidden and getting to these can be somewhat difficult.

To get to these well hidden monsters, you need to pry away the plastic piece with the BlackBerry logo and earpiece grating. Dr.Wreck uses a staple remover for all of his leveraging needs – he recommends you do the same.

This piece is adhered with double sided tape. Pry it away but be careful not to crack the plastic!

Voila! Now use your T6 to remove the screws you just found underneath – pull away the rear cover and reveal the PCB!

It’s important to keep in mind that your PCB won’t look like Dr.Wreck’s. In order to identify all of the integrated circuits we had to remove all of the “cans” (Metal shields) that provide heat and ESD shielding. Removing these shields is a bit of an art, we’ll keep that secret to Dr.Wreck’s dainty hands!

You can now pop off the flex cable tabs like Dr.Wreck is in the image above. These connectors are fairly robust however – delicacy should be practiced. You will also need to pop off the antenna which is located at the top right of the PCB.

You should now be able to flip the PCB vertically to reveal the underside (where the real brains are!). There are 3 flex cables attached to the PCB. These are used for The LCD, Trackball and keyboard. Pop them off to fully remove the PCB!

This is a good point to discuss the design of this device further. RIM has opted for a “floating” PCB design. This both saves money and makes these devices MUCH easier to take apart and service. The drawback is with the trackball (which we will see/discuss in a moment).

As soon as you pry away the chrome, face-plate and device border, the keyboard and track ball fall apart. This is where the design flaw lies that has created a massive warranty issue for the carriers. On the bold, the entire track-ball module clips into the PCB via a small malleable metal frame. This piece was totally discarded on the tour and consequently the ball more or less floats inside of the device.

If your trackball stops working, put a thumb on either side of the module and press firmly and evenly across the front of the device. This should reset everything and temporarily let you use the device again.

The Bringer of Pain

Now – for the reason you’ve all been reading – the Teardown Analysis.  What devices make this puppy tick?! Check out the functional block diagram below.

At the core we once again have the Qualcomm MSM7600 which provides both the Baseband and Application management functionality. Not surprisingly, this is the very same core that resides in the current BlackBerry Storm. As a matter of fact, when we look further we see many other shared ICs from the same Qualcomm reference design. These include the Qualcomm PM6658 for Power Management, the RTR6500 Dual-Band Transceiver and RTR6285 RF Transmitter.

It looks as if RIM went away from CSR for bluetooth with it’s decision to use the Samsung BTTM53C2RA chipset. This ia not entirely the case. Delving into our resources reveal the same CSR core, disguised in a Wafer-Level-Chip Scale Package.

Looking even further we see the same USB Phy from SMSC coupled with the now BlackBerry standard MicroUSB port.

Unfortunately the 9630 falls a fair amount short of the mark in the memory category. Sporting the ever-common Samsung MCP K5W2G1, we note that it only has a 2Gb OneNAND coupled with the 1Gb SDRAM. This falls short of the Storm however the phone really does perform admirably well – under almost every benchmark test we could subject it to (with the exception of sideloading).

And that’s all she wrote! Any comments, or questions – feel free to pop them into the comment section below! Dr.Wreck is going to be spending some time with  two new devices over the next few days.  Stay tuned for lot’s of data!

-Dr. Wreck
