Search Info On BlackBerries

Blackberry's latest edition is the Bold, which as the name suggests, has a bigger, bolder presence than most other smartphones, though the black and silver finish and the smooth curves also give it a more sleek and refined look. The Blackberry Bold has all the best Blackberry features of past models and adds, amongst other things, the speed of 3G. Designed to replace the 8820, it does have a bit more heft than the 8820, weighing in at 136 grams, but most people would have a difficult time telling the two apart just by weight or looks.
The Bold is a boon for heavy email users or texters. The larger dimensions means you get a full, comfortable QWERTY keypad for quick and easy text entry. Used in conjunction with the trackball, and you have one of the best UI systems available. Blackberry also makes your life easier, with one of the most user-friendly displays of any smartphone. This includes user-selectable font sizes and a 65,000 color transmissive TFT LCD screen for easy reading. Best of all, Blackberry has dramatically increased the screen resolution of the Bold over previous models. The old 240 x 360 pixels has been replaced with a well-defined 480 x 360 pixels.
With the addition of a fun media player and effective camera, multimedia enthusiasts are sure to love the Blackberry Bold. The 2 megapixel camera is very effective, and while it will not replace a digital camera completely, it is still great for snapshots and the occasional video you wish to capture. You can even help pass the time with the innovative media player, which features the ability to play whatever music and video file you see fit to check out. You can sync the phone with the music on your computer, and listen to the music through the 3.5mm headphone jack.
The battery is not the Bold's strong point, having a slightly shorter life than the 8820 - a combined result of its 3G capability and larger screen size. However, Blackberry did give heavy consideration to the memory capacity of the Bold. Not only does it come with 1 GB of integrated internal memory and 128 MB of flash memory, Blackberry provides the ability to add external memory via a microSD memory card. Users would be hard-pressed to need more memory than the Bold delivers, as Blackberry designed the powerful device towards its data-driven users.
We have been telling Blackberry for some time that they needed to upgrade their entries in the PDA market by increasing processor speed, adding memory and 3G capabilities and installing a screen with better resolution. Blackberry has responded to those criticisms with the Bold, and the Bold is everything we were hoping for. It is an excellent phone, a great entertainment system and a perfect PDA. We give this a rating of highly recommended.
