Search Info On BlackBerries
By Mark Walters
With the wide variety of phones available, it was usually only business types that would actually choose to have a Blackberry, and this was mostly due to its success as a communication device rather than all singing, all dancing smartphone. Blackberry has been trying to extend the appeal of its phones, and the improvements to the new Blackberry Bold are designed to make it more consumer-friendly.
In fairness to Blackberry, they have stuck to the kind of style and design that has won them plenty of business customers, and looked at ways to make this appeal-able to the consumer market, rather than try and create a non business version of their phones. The improvements to the new Bold have created a sleeker, good looking smartphone, its just a question of whether you are a fan of the QWERTY keyboard, or not. One of the benefits of the Bold being slightly wider (even after the recent reduction in its dimensions) is the decent sized display, with widescreen proportions. The resolution is high enough to make watching movies and viewing images enjoyable, and the text in emails, messages and on webpages is clear and crisp.
As you'd expect from a smartphone manufacturer that keeps the business world in touch with itself, the Bold has the full range of connectivity options, with 3G data handling, as well as EDGE and GPRS. There's the latest Bluetooth and WiFi, and you also get GPS, although Blackberry Maps isn't likely to have Google too worried. With a 3.2 megapixel camera that can record HVGA video as well as taking still shots, the Bold will have most image capture situations covered, especially as it also has auto focus, a 2x digital zoom, and an LED flash.
With the latest Blackberry 5 operating system on board, and the more than capable processor, the new Bold proves itself to be more than just a business machine, and can easily handle images, videos, and music, which are now much more a part of the new Bold. Surfing the internet is no problem, although the built in browser does slow up on sites with lots of content. As you'd expect, the Bold is great for keeping in touch, and communication with different people, using different sources, is managed easily. Some people might think that Blackberry's contact and messaging interface isn't as dynamic as some of the other smartphones on the market, but it's simple, and it works well.
Blackberry faces a challenge to get its unique looking business phones accepted by a wider audience, but with stylish looks, an improved user interface, and a real alternative to the dozens of other smartphones available on the market, the new Bold is up to the task.
