CNET Asia Review
Excellent
The good: HSDPA; Wi-Fi; GPS; QWERTY keypad; bright screen. 8.8
out of 10View score
The bad: Camera could be better.
The bottom line: Unlike Palm, RIM has built up an impressive product portfolio that is made even better by the addition of the Bold. Aside from offering a plethora of features, the Bold's screen is one of the best we've ever seen.

One of the best gadgets I've ever had
May 3, 2009Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: looks stylish yet professional, QWERTY keyboard, excellent screen resolution, great sound quality, features are overwhelming, Wi-Fi, trackball, 3.5 mm audio jack, even love the software that comes with the device (CD), everything a blackberry should be
Cons: camera, no Xenon flash, takes awhile to get used to, cool applications don't come for free, battery life may be an issue depending on how you plan to use it
Opinion:
I have to be honest: I used to worship Sony Ericsson; but I've been having second thoughts recently. I must say the Blackberry Bold has probably been one of the best things to come my way.

It's pretty nice to put in videos here because the video quality of the phone is exquisite. Sound quality isn't bad either, it has a sort of surround sound effect with speakers place at both ends (in my opinion, the sound quality during loudspeaker mode beats the Sony Ericsson W980i - a WALKMAN phone; although I am ...

Feb 4, 2009Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: full range of connectivity, no lags, qwerty keyboard, rich display, blackberry functions
Cons: phone is a bit bulky but not much of a problem
Opinion:
this phone is really one of true functionality. may not beat the aesthetics of iphone and others, but its functions is flat out a winner. push mails, blackberry mails, browser etc. no lags, 3g downloading performance is phenomenal. this phone is highly recommended to those who needs the functions. and with its improved aesthetics like screen display and others. it is starting to give the other high end phone a run for their money. perfect phone for me.
