BlackBerry Bold Well Worth The Wait

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
The BlackBerry Bold is everything you could want in a mobile device. The hardware design is the perfect mix between beauty and brawn. The stunning display and superb stereo sound makes the Bold a surprisingly good multimedia device. The QWERTY keyboard is the best I’ve used on any smartphone, so whether it be a short text message or a long email, typing on the Bold is a breeze. At the heart of any BlackBerry is email and the Bold delivers with flying colors. The processor and new OS deliver a modern OS experience, although some of the menu navigation can become cumbersome. The browser is greatly improved, but still lags compared webkit based browsers such as mobile Safari and Google’s Android browser. Nothing was left off the feature list, with the Bold offering GPS, support for WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0. The final result is an elegant, powerhouse of a device and a BlackBerry that was well worth the wait.

BlackBerry Bold=Best BlackBerry yet

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
RIM has hit a homerun with its attempt to bridge the consumer and business gap. The Bold has much improved media capabilities over its predecessor, full HTML web browser, and possibly the finest screen on a mobile device. RIM's bread and butter email and messaging capabilities are stellar as always and the keyboard is without a doubt the best I've ever used on a phone. The phone is definitely much more slick looking than previous BlackBerry models. The leather battery cover was a very nice touch in my opinion.

Pros: Keyboard, Beautiful Screen, Excellent Battery Life, amazing sound from external speakers, email/messaging capabilities, music playback sounds great and is very loud, 3.5mm headphone jack, 624mhz processor, 1GB onboard storage with the ability to add microSDHC up to 32GB, full HTML web browsing that is much improved from previous models.

Cons: Camera is subpar by today's standards, the browser is still cumbersome and occasionally slow to load especially when javascript is enabled, does not come with a microSD card, wish the screen was glass in lieu of plastic as it does not take much pressure on the screen to make ripples on the LCD.
