Blackberry has long been a staple in the smartphone market. With its newest release the Blackberry Bold they have taken the best traits of its previous phones, added 3G capabilities amongst other things, and packaged it together nicely. While it is not the smallest or lightest phone on the market, weighing in at 136 grams and slightly larger than its predecessor (the Blackberry 8820), it makes up for it in design. The Bold comes with a glossy black and silver finish and adds a curved element to the phone’s body - an elegant touch that stands it apart from other smartphones.

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.

There is also plenty of memory with the Bold. It comes with 1 full GB of built-in memory, a 128 MB of flash memory and the ability to expand this even further with the use of a microSD memory card. This means you will have plenty of room for not only your emails and text messages, but for working with data and documents as well. You can even store your information on the Bold for future use. The one downside to the Bold is the battery life, which is shorter than that of the 8820, largely due to the energy requirements for the screen and the 3G connection.

When all is said and done, you are sure to love everything that is provided with the Blackberry Bold. Blackberry decided to listen to the suggestions of its customers and include everything that was missing from their previous smartphones, like faster operating speeds and 3G capability. So, be sure to check this new phone out - you will not be sorry.
