Excellent

The good: HSDPA; Wi-Fi; GPS; QWERTY keypad; bright screen.

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



Rating: 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. Being obsessed with Sony Ericsson, it was obvious that I knew nothing of Blackberry, so it took me awhile to get used to the device, with the countless features and shortcuts keys and all. It was, however, worth the trouble (not that it really caused me any trouble). The Bold was very quick and responsive (though this makes me wonder how responsive the Toshiba TG01 might be). 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 ... Read more

 

Neat piece of hardware



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Everything
Cons: Not really a Con. Just a needs improvement is the camera
Opinion:
Beats them all with features, built quality, multimedia quality, connectivity features. Its simply great - way to go RIM.

 

outstanding



Rating: 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.
