BlackBerry Bold vs. iPhone video

May 23, 2008 10:38

Following up on Dongiovanni's comment about adding the BlackBerry Bold to the list of "must-have" phones in my previous post, HTC Touch Diamond launching in June, I found this new side-by-side comparison video on the iPhone and the new BlackBerry Bold. Although the Bold is not an iPhone-like or clone type of phone, it's fun to see how it matches up in size and functionality. It's projected to be released in July and has already generated much hype.
