Blackberry Bold 9000

Since Blackberry launched it’s incredibly popular Blackberry Curve 8300 handset some time ago the mobile phone world has advanced considerably and Blackberry has had to put together something very special in it’s new handset to stay at the front of the pack.

Luckily it doesn’t disappoint and this handset definately deserves a close look.

What Blackberry has done with their latest release is to merge all the best features of Windows Mobile with the practicality and reliability of the Blackberry brand to create the new Blackberry Bold or 9000 to give it it’s numerical title.

For example, new software functionality means that one can now edit Microsoft Word and Powerpoint documents on the go - potentially a very practical aspect. Documents can then be easily synced with your main computer when you are back in the office. Presentations can be practised on the road to ensure it really hits the tone you’re looking for.

As well as all the standard Blackberry features - the email, the browser, the instant messenger , organizer functions and so on, Blackberry has obviously worked hard on making this the most media-friendly release yet.

As if all the thousands of existing downloadable applications weren’t available, Blackberry has made accessing and enjoying them even easier thanks to a raft of much-needed innovation.

Firstly it benefits from Wifi allowing you to access the Internet in any one of over 3,000 locations in the UK making browsing not only cheaper but also much faster than it has been in the past. Even outside of hotpsot areas, the Bold utilizes HSDPA technology to access nearly 3G download speeds.

Even more impressively, this fusion of software and hardware means that streaming video is now available which nicely complements the mp3 player functionality. Thanks to the new Media Sync application that comes bundled with the package you can seasmlessly transfer media files from Itunes to your handset for later enjoyment.

Of course, the Blackberry 9000 Bold comes with the standard 2MP camera today with video functionality, and like the Curve it offers a full querty keypad rather than the more complicated use of “dual” keys as in the Peal.

As a last final touch, Blackberry’s stylish new smartphone offers GPS and mapping capabilties much as the 8800 first did.

In all, this is a very impressive handset indeed and Blackberry see to have successfully moulded all the best features from the various smart phones available at present to make the ultimate hybrid design. As other Blackberry Bold review pages have noted, this is truly a handset that is well worth a look.
