BlackBerry Bold Review

November 28, 2008

The BlackBerry Bold is a smartphone with a physical (miniature) keyboard that is currently on sell for $299. Besides a keyboard for interaction, there is also a trackball to go through the screen options. The trackball is a fast way to get around and proves effective and the keyboard feels solid. On the downside, the keyboard is a bit slick.

Bold also proves to be a nice media phone. It does music, photos, and videos. The on-board camera captures at 2M pixels, and you can record videos.

Generic e-mail setup is very simple. Webmail isn’t terribly hard either.

The phone sits nice in your palm, and one-handed typing is a easy. It able to use the 3G network and WiFi networks.

The new BlackBerry Bold is a excellent offering for interested smartphone buyers. Old BlackBerry users will be very comfortable in using it and quickly grasp the hardware and software.
