Description

The BlackBerry Bold smartphone embodies elegant design without sacrificing the features or functionality you expect from a premium smartphone. With email, phone, IM and the Internet, it can connect you. With an integrated organizer, it can help you stay on top of your day.

While other makers are busy landing stabs on the iPhone by making thin, keyboard-less smartphones, RIM continues to focus on the business sector. The Blackberry 9000 bold is possibly the best Blackberry ever made with a lot of new, bold features including GPS, high-resolution 480 x 320 screen and HSDPA. Is bolder always better? For this new Blackberry at least, the answer is a firm yes.

The Bold has a new interface! The icons may look simple but the graphic conveys the functions well enough. The overall operation is very smooth and pleasing.

The keyboard is the lifeblood of every Blackberry. The Bold 9000 has a nicely designed keyboard with ample separation between the keys. With the Bold, you don’t have to worry about pressing the wrong keys or missing a letter – the keyboard is a gem.

The phone has 4 board keys for quickly accessing the usual functions. The trackball allows you to move in 4 directions and it is meant to make one-hand operation easier. Since the trackball is smaller and more sensitive than the typical 4-way D-pads, you may need some time to get used to it.
