BlackBerry Bold 9000 Beautiful Full Review

BOLT free mobile browser incredible browsing experience for bb
We got the hands on the BlackBerry Bold and thought we’d share it with you all.  The Bold is definitely one of the most revolutionary devices out there.  Check out our review below and let us know what you think.

After its much-delayed arrival, The BlackBerry Bold from RIM has been released. This phone has been highly anticipated by both BlackBerry addicts as well as your typical mobile phone enthusiast. The sleek Bold weighs in at 4.8 ounces but packs a punch far greater than its own weight. A BlackBerry that is as powerful as it is beautiful.

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Body/Design

This BlackBerry looks absolutely stunning with its silver on black color scheme. The phone has a glossy black finish to its screen and keyboard with a brushed aluminum looking frame around it. The one downside to the aluminum looking finish around the edges is its tendency to scratch to black when dropped on hard surfaces. The back cover of the phone is embodied in a faux leather cover with an aluminum opening for the super bright flash and 2mp still/video camera. Although the leather on the back cover may not be 100% calfskin, still gives the device a classy feel, look, and finish. The leather is a great grip for holding the back of the phone while typing on RIMs most advanced QWERTY keyboard.

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Keyboard/Trackball

This Bold is equipped with a revolutionary keyboard different from its curve predecessor. The phone sits a bit wider at 2.6 inches allowing for more room for a slightly larger keypad. The keypad is great because RIM decided to go with harder keys, more typing friendly than the small rubber keys found on different BB models. The other additive placed on this model was the thin strips of aluminum finish plastic in between the rows of keys that has 2 purposes, one to prevent finger slippage while typing and the other to streamline the dazzling looks of the silver on the phone.

The Trackball is a functional as a trackball can be and we have seen other phone manufacturers try to mimic the trackball to improve functionality on their devices but have fallen far from how BlackBerry has perfected it as seen on the newer curve. The one flaw with trackball that is found on the Bold is the fact that it is still manufactured pure white. As we have seen with previous bb models, the same will surely happen here. The ball will noticeably darken in use. The new curve has a dark trackball by default so you don’t notice color degrading over time.

 BlackBerry Bold 9000 Display

BlackBerry has set the standard in superb display quality for smart phone devices with this Bold. The Bold has half VGA resolution 480 x 320 pixel color display. Its backlit light sensing Transmissive TFT LCD displays well over 65,000 colors, which comes in handy for watching high quality movies on the fly. You’ll notice yourself watching more videos on your Bold than you did if you were to have a previous generation BlackBerry. While still on the video section, we want to frown on the fact that YouTube and internet video such as CellularTV do not use maximum screen performance. The streaming quality from such videos are poor enough to humiliate you when comparing to your friends with iPhone. On a side note, BlackBerry owners don’t have friends that with iPhones. But all hope isn’t lost. This is something that can be fixed with a decent software update. One mobile app that I’ve learned that streams flawlessly on the Bold is the Sling Mobile Player from SlingMedia. Watch hi-res TV from anywhere on EDGE, 3G, or Wi-Fi.

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Connectivity

The Bold has been the phone us enthusiasts have been waiting for since it’s drastically different than its predeceasing beta version phones. The previous models have had either GPS or Wi-Fi and some didn’t offer either. It’s inspiring to see how far we’ve come. Now this sleek thin mobile processor has it all. You can get connected in a million different ways.

 It has Bluetooth 2.0, which needless to say supports stereo audio.  The only drawback of the Bluetooth as compared to an old school model such as the 7100 series is the range. The range on the older models trumps the range of the newer models and the reason for that is the manufacturers are making the component smaller to fit more inside.

The Bold is great because its universal and it is a true world phone but all cell makers know that you can’t produce a GSM phone in this day and age without having that world compatibility. We can go on and mention all the frequencies that the phone works on but it’s just easier to tell you that it works just about everywhere there is coverage.  One thing we want to take a second and clear up are the false allegations of having problems with the 3G Network. This phone as we’ve tested, has scored highly on the 3G coverage maps as opposed to other phones.

The phone has two other antennas that will be sure to come in handy one way or another, GPS and Wi-Fi. Sadly to say, the GPS antenna was by far much stronger on an older model such as the 8700 series but gets the job done.  The Wi-Fi connectivity on this is great. Range is decent but the one thing I’ve noticed is the browser cannot keep up with the Wi-Fi speeds and pages do tend to load slower than expected but far faster than if you weren’t on Wi-Fi. One thing that is an amazing about the Wi-Fi is the flexibility of BlackBerry Messenger connectivity. It is the best feeling in the world to be traveling abroad with Wireless off and Wi-Fi on and still being able to connect with all your BlackBerry buddies as seamlessly as if you were home.  Your carrier won’t charge you a penny more and you can still be as productive via messenger, pin, and email alike.

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Email

Needless to say, BlackBerry is notorious for having the world’s most powerful email utility. They have wisely decided not to fix what’s not broken. They have tweaked the email functionality in the stock OS as well as the latest OS’s available for download. Aside from the hardware, the OS gives you functionality to view full HTML emails and most common attachments you’ll receive via email.

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Media

This is a BlackBerry with two faces, the face that it should have as a super good-looking BlackBerry with all the functionality and productivity of a normal BlackBerry and a second face that has a big bite for its bark, its Media interface. It is easy to see this phone was designed with media in mind from small things like the external memory card slot to its super loud speakers and music control short cut keys. Almost all the flaws that the previous models had with media have been corrected here.

Let’s touch a bit on music.  It’s no iPod but I’ve sure noticed that my buddies with this phone don’t depend on their iPods as much. To start, it has a standard non recessed 3.5mm headset jack meaning you can use any headphones you want where as a phone such as the iPhone has a recessed headset jack making it hard to be flexible to use the headphones of your choice. Just to note, this phone by default comes with a new pair of noise canceling BlackBerry headphones which are phenomenal. The External memory card reader is great for switch cards on the fly or trading songs with a friend if you don’t find Bluetooth transfer as a fast enough option. The phone has a built in one gig memory which is great because it reduces your dependency on memory cards.  Getting back to the music part of it, the Bolds music interface is pretty neat because it allows for custom playlists as well as automatic playlists as provided by the users input. The phone will also show music by artist, albums, genres, and my favorite feature; Shuffle songs. This phone has a cool feature where you can change songs forward or backwards by simply holding the volume up/down button for a second. This is convenient because it will work even when the phone is locked. Also goes without saying, you can pause a song by hitting the mute button as you could with earlier BlackBerrys. The speaker output is louder and clearer than any other BlackBerry we have seen which all makes for a great jukebox. Let’s take a second to remember that this is no Bose Dolby 7.1 home stereo sound system so let’s not all be critics and judge it as if it was one. Sad to say some can be so harsh. Overall, software and hardware, its music player is great and keeps me entertained for hours.

Jumping to the video player, it’s just about as great as the music player and has a lot of the same functionality the music player has except it play videos. As we have noted earlier, the quality on the screen is amazing and allows for  you to play just about anything. We’ve noticed with this model unlike past BlackBerry models or other phones alike, you almost never need to use a video converter to watch the movies you want. Just drag and drop, the phone is capable of playing all sorts of extensions. Another feature that adds bonus points is the auto full screen switching while playing a clip.

We touched briefly on the 2mp camera and flash earlier but that’s almost separate from the picture viewer this phone is equipped with. The Bold has the idealistic photo viewer, you can zoom in/out, rotate, fit to screen, fill screen, set as home screen image, change encoding, set as caller id, send, and many more options. We’ve learned Its very flexible and powerful but that doesn’t mean we haven’t seen a flaw in it. The one problem we have encountered is the loading speed when the device is loaded with hundreds of pictures with our being sorted in folders. When all your pictures rest in the default folder, you’ll notice it might take a second longer to open the pictures folder. The Bold gives you the option to create a folder right from the phone so you don’t need to connect to your computer to sort things out. Simply create a folder and began moving your pictures in, although I will tell you it tends to be a bit simpler from your computer’s file viewer as you can select multiple files at once.

Lastly on the topic of media, the BlackBerry Bold has a Voice Notes recording feature. Don’t depend on it replacing your HI-FI Digital voice recorder but it convenient if you need to jot something down and you don’t want/cant open you notepad. Although it can be used for any reason small or big, we haven’t seen too many users that have used it for work purposes.

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Battery

If you are simply using this Bold for checking emails and receiving calls, don’t plan on charging it until your day is long done and you’re ready to rest your head for bed. On the contrary, if you are using almost all the features from music player to constant internet surfing and answering phone calls, you should be wise and invest in a car charger and have a spare at your place of employment. We’ve seen that the Bolds battery is great for basic use but tends to die faster than expected when thrown into overtime. I guess the only way we can justify it is by saying the phone is so powerful, it can’t handle its own battery.

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Call Quality

The call quality on this phone has most definitely set the bar for future BlackBerrys to come. Its was very clear from our first call that the call clarity on both ends was significantly clearer than previous “beta testing” models such as the pearl and 8800 series. The problem with previous models was the fact that they weren’t loud enough in noisy environments. I’ve seen myself lower volume when in such places like a car but knowing I can go louder gives me that reassurance that if I were on a train instead, I could still hear loud and clear.

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Operating System and User Interface
After subjecting the phone to a number of tests, we learned that the OS build that is preloaded on the device is less prone to errors and glitches than the previous BlackBerry models. Why is this? I mean underneath, the OS hasn’t changed much, still same backbone with a few tweaks and fresher graphics for the user. I think it’s apparent to say that the 624MHz processor makes a difference. I guess the older BlackBerry models’ processors couldn’t keep up with the power the OS was producing but this one seems to outperform our expectations.

Like always, the OS will always need further updates for whatever glitches may be discovered or for whatever we decide we need next. I wouldn’t spend too much time worrying about the OS build on the device because it will be changed a numerous amount of times during the device life.  Same goes for all you applications, give them a few months and the vendors already have released updates. This is a good thing though.  Compare this to other phones where you have to either purchase new software to fix the bugs or pay for the latest OS.

BlackBerry Bold 9000 Conclusion

It’s always been hard to say which BlackBerry is better than the next considering you’d sacrifice one thing for another between devices. It has been the easiest call for us to say this BlackBerry Bold is the mother of all BlackBerrys. This has to be the best combination of software and hardware that RIM has put into production. If you are looking for a BlackBerry that has it all, we give you the BOLD. But then again its not for everyone. Some people prefer SureType and could care less about a big screen, pearl. Other like the big screen and QWERTY keyboard but dislike the weight and size of the Bold, New Curve. For the rest of you that use it as a media device over emails and have mixed preferences given the day of the week for SureType or QWERTY, we give you the Storm. Aside from personal preference, this is a great phone with phenomenal build.

For our PocketBerry friends that were learning about this device, we hope we have shed some light on the topic. As for our PocketBerry friends and users of the Bold, we hope we have been in line with your outlook on the device.

5 Tips/Tricks very useful for New BlackBerry Users

We found this article in the Orlando Sentinel and felt that it could be very useful to new BlackBerry users, as many of us just picked up these devices once upon a time and figured a lot of stuff on our own way before all these blogs and tips/tricks were on the Internet.  As BlackBerry was primarily a corporate business device, it has now become popular among all sorts of personal users, even becoming an advantage over other devices such as the iPhone.  So here’s a great list of some tips and tricks you might find very useful if you are new to BlackBerry.

1. When you can’t figure out how to perform a function, try hitting the Menu key (the one with the white dots) to bring up a menu of additional options. For instance, if you want to rearrange the icons on your home screen, highlight the icon with your cursor, press the Menu key, select “Move” and then drag the icon to where you want it and click again.

2. Shortcuts are your friend on a BlackBerry. Some of the most useful include: hitting the space bar twice to enter a period when composing text, pressing “t” to go to the top of your e-mail inbox and “b” to go to the bottom, pressing “c” to compose a new e-mail, “r” to reply to an e-mail, “f” to forward a message, when you have an e-mail open, press “n” to move to the next message and “p” to go back to the previous message. To delete a bunch of messages in a row in your inbox, hold down the shift key and select the messages with your scroll bar or cursor and press the delete key.

3. You can download apps such as Facebook and Pandora directly to your phone through a store, which is called “BlackBerry App World.” To download BlackBerry App World to your phone, visit www.blackberry.com/appworld/download and click to download the free application.

4. To download other apps, launch the BlackBerry app from your computer’s home screen (it’s the black icon with the white dots on it). You can browse through categories of apps, see the most popular ones, or search for apps by name. Some are free and others cost money. You can also download apps by Googling them on your phone’s browser, i.e. “Gmail BlackBerry app.”

5. To avoid placing accidental calls, make sure to lock your phone’s keyboard before you put it in your pocket or purse. You can do this by selecting the keyboard lock icon from the home screen (the one with the picture of the lock). To unlock your keyboard, press the star key and the green place call button.

Blackberry 9360 Pink Coming

Pink blackberry 9360 Coming to CanadaGSM.ca Over the past few years TELUS’ pink campaign has raised a total of $4.35 million for breast cancer research  which is incredibly respectable. The 2011 campaign officially kicked off and there are 3 ways to contribute to the $400,000 goal: either purchase a pink BlackBerry Curve 9360, buy pink accessories or create a pink photo album on Facebook so you don’t even need to buy anything to help out. The campaign ends on December 31st, 2011.

BlackBerry Bold 9900 white Coming

What is it about the color white that makes a handset look more luxurious? Take the BlackBerry Bold 9900 for instance. With a physical portrait-oriented QWERTY keyboard that many call the best ever attached to a cell phone, the device in black looks every inch the flagship model that it currently is for RIM. Make the casing and keys in white and the BlackBerry Bold 9900 looks even better. 

The BlackBerry Bold 9900 done "white"

The white BlackBerry Bold 9900 in the photo was spotted at a technical exhibition in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. But this is not the first time that we have seen this model looking pale. Back in August, a T-Mobile reseller in Hungary showed a slide that had both the black version of the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and a picture of a white version of the phone. This would seem to make the phone in the picture an official RIM release as opposed to it being a regular black version changed to white using an after-market conversion kit. On the other hand, outside of the T-Mobile Hungary reseller and the photo below, no one can seem to find any word at all about such a variant of the BlackBerry Bold 9900

Assuming that RIM is planning on doing the "white" thing, anyone holding out for this version of this phone?

White BlackBerry Bold 9900

A picture is worth a thousand words, but those words are not always true. At least that is what the consensus is ever since a white Bold 9900 has been spotted in the wild. RIM has failed to verify the pictured device will be available, so let's not get our hopes up just yet. It sure does look sexy though! Would you sell your black 9900 for a white one?

BlackBerry Bold 9900 Review Design Features Performance Conclusion

review RIM has had a rough time adjusting to the iPhone era. It’s gone from the disastrous BlackBerry Storm (marks 1 and 2) to the lukewarmly-received Torch 9800 in an effort to get the balance right between touchscreens and the classic BlackBerry form factor, as well as deliver the same fast performance and visually-appealing graphics that smartphone users have come to expect.

We think they’ve finally nailed it with the Bold 9900. The Bold has always been our favourite line of BlackBerrys due to its class-leading physical keyboard, and with the 9900, RIM has modernised its appearance and equipped it with a touchscreen, zippy 1.2GHz single-core processor and the latest BlackBerry OS 7 operating system.

Design BlackBerry Bold 9900

The Bold 9900 won us over as soon as we got our hands on it. The glass screen and backplate give it the same luxurious feel of an iPhone 4, while the brushed stainless steel band and matching silver accents on the front and rear and full QWERTY keyboard give it a distinctive look that’s classic BlackBerry.

The irony of the 9900 is that it’s more modern-looking than the last two Bold smartphones and yet is a dead-ringer for the original Bold 9000 that launched five years ago. This design (which is taller, wider and heavier than the previous Bold – but also 3.5mm slimmer at 10.5mm) allows for a bigger 2.8″ display and a larger keyboard. Yup, RIM has brought back the Bold 9000′s spectacular QWERTY keyboard as well, which to this day still ranks as the best we’ve ever used on a smartphone.

RIM hasn’t deviated much from the standard hardware layout: the red indicator light that’s bright enough to see from space sits on the top right, four hardware buttons are below the screen, and there’s a lock button on top. Volume keys and two user-assignable shortcut buttons adorn the right, and a headphone jack and micro-USB port sit on the left. The microSD card slot is behind the battery cover and you can’t get to it without removing the battery — a downer for those that like to hot-swap memory cards.

Features BlackBerry Bold 9900

The 9900 runs the latest BlackBerry 7 OS. It’s only a modest upgrade from BB6, and looks almost identical, with the same homescreen, notification window and categorised application drawers. But there are small refinements here and there. IM has abandoned the stylised ‘ouline’ icons — which were always at odds next to third party app icons — in favour of standard coloured icons that have been updated slightly to add depth.

RIM has managed to squeeze a three-by-six grid of application icons into the launcher by making the icons smaller and removing the name of each app below the icon. The latter adds an extra (albeit minor) layer of complexity to using the Bold 9900, as you’ll have to play a guessing game initially as to what each icon represents. We’d rather RIM had left the labels in.

One of the core new features of BB7 is the ‘Liquid Graphics’ technology – which is basically a fancy way of saying that the user interface doesn’t lag like a sleepy turtle anymore. This is largely thanks to the souped-up innards in the Bold 9900; instead of crippling it with a last-gen processor and minimal RAM — a bad habit that RIM’s fallen into — the 9900 has a speedy 1.2GHz single-core processor and 768MB of RAM.

There’s a handful of other new features in BB7: voice-activated universal search that’s remarkably accurate (although you have to hit ‘Done’ on the screen after you’ve spoken, which kind of defeats the purpose), a new BlackBerry Balance security technology (BES users only) that keeps corporate and personal information separate, and a BlackBerry Protect app for transferring, backing up and restoring data on the device as well as locating and remotely locking or wiping the 9900 if it’s lost or stolen. The web browser has also been updated, and according to RIM it loads pages 40 percent faster than devices running BB6 — although Flash support is still a no-show.

The Bold 9900 is no shrinking violet in the hardware department either. On top of the aforementioned processing capabilities, it has a 2.8″ capacitive touchscreen, 8GB of internal storage (plus a microSD card slot for up to 32GB additional storage), tri-band HSPA+, and dual-band 802.11n. There’s also an NFC chip built-in, but you can’t actually do anything with it at the moment.

Performance BlackBerry Bold 9900

RIM hasn’t jumped on the dual-core bandwagon yet, but after testing the Bold 9900, we’re convinced it doesn’t need to. This smartphone is super-responsive, with almost none of the lag issues that plagued its predecessors. Using the 9900 side-by-side with the Torch 9800, there’s a palpable speed difference when it comes to scrolling through icons, opening apps, and displaying notifications, and the 9900 actually does what you tell it to do the first time round (unlike the original Torch) — no pressing hardware buttons or jabbing at the screen repeatedly is necessary.

We only encountered one area where it exhibited the same sluggishness of BB6-powered BlackBerrys, and that’s when installing new software. The 9900 (like BlackBerrys before it) slows to a crawl when you install an app from BlackBerry World, to the point that you can’t really do anything until the app has finished installing. What’s worse, if you’re updating an app that’s already installed, you still have to reboot the BlackBerry to finish the installation.

On a more positive note, the Bold’s keyboard is a revelation. After a steady diet of touchscreen-only smartphones, the ability to actually feel each key and press down on them to type feels like some marvellous new technology that we’ve never experienced before. It really is that good! We’re no slouch on a touchscreen, but typing on the Bold 9900′s physical keyboard is just so much faster and significantly less error-prone

The Bold 9900’s 2.8″ display is also exceptional. Yes, it’s small, but it’s a necessary tradeoff to fit the QWERTY keyboard within the candybar form factor. Everything else about it is top-shelf, from the responsive capacitive multi-touch technology and high-res 640×480-pixel resolution to the vivid colours and wide viewing angles. The small screen size and VGA resolution gives the display an exceptionally high density of 285 pixels per inch, resulting in extremely sharp text and gorgeously crisp photo and video. By comparison, the iPhone 4′s Retina Display has a 326ppi. The addition of a touchscreen has made the Bold even easier to use, as you can interact with screen elements directly rather than having to manoeuvre an on-screen pointer around the display.

The faster processor and larger touchscreen display was bound to take a toll on the Bold 9900’s battery, which itself is smaller than the ones found on previous BlackBerry Bolds at 1230mAh. With light use (one Gmail account being pushed to the device in the background, a handful of text messages and short web browsing sessions, and Wi-Fi on), the 9900 lasted for a day and a half. Power users should see it lasting comfortably to the end of the day, but not much longer than that.

Conclusion BlackBerry Bold 9900

The Bold 9900 isn’t for everyone. If you measure the worth of a smartphone by the number of apps and games that are available for it, or the ability to customise the interface with widgets, shortcuts and fancy 3D effects, then you’d best be on your bike and looking elsewhere. The app shortage isn’t likely to change any time soon, especially with RIM looking to migrate the BlackBerry smartphone over to the QNX operating system sometime next year. Why develop new apps for a platform that will be obsolete in a few months time?

But not everyone needs dozens of apps or multiple homescreens on a smartphone. If, like many business users, you process lots of email on a daily basis and need a dependable and secure smartphone to get you through the workday, the Bold 9900 offers a better experience than any other smartphone we know of. There isn’t much here to interest first-time users, but BlackBerry devotees should find the 9900 to be a compelling upgrade from existing devices.

The Bold 9900 is currently available exclusively through Optus on a range of plans, including $0 upfront on a $79 Cap or Timeless plan.

How Choosing BlackBerry Smartphone Applications

So you love your BlackBerry great. Whether you’re an executive, a mobile professional, multi-tasking parent, student or a combination of those and many other roles, there aren’t many more useful or versatile tools available. With your BlackBerry you can stay connected to all the aspects of your life. Email, text and multimedia messages, voice calls and internet browsing are all at your fingertips.

Keep everything orderly with the calendar and task list and remember everything about everyone with the contact list. Be entertained with the multimedia features. Take and send pictures and video. The list seems pretty complete, but haven’t you ever wished that you could…?

And that’s exactly the point of using third-party applications. BlackBerry applications add to the devices’ capabilities or customize an existing feature to better meet a specific need.

When you peruse the available applications, you’ll be struck by the diversity of products. Some will leave you wondering why anyone would want an application to do that. Others will elicit a joyous “Aha! That’s just what I needed!” Go for it…most applications aren’t expensive and many are free.

Here are some points to consider when determining which applications may be right for you.

Features:
What does the application do? How does it make your life better, more organized, or happier? You can find applications that help you better manage you time, money and communications. Others make travelling more pleasurable or help you find your way in an unfamiliar location. Some are aimed at particular business needs while others are purely personal. Great games include puzzles, word and trivia games, and adventures. There are entertainment applications that help you find out what movies are playing locally or make better use of the BlackBerry’s multimedia features. Many applications offer a free trial period. We encourage you to take advantage of the trial to make sure that it meets your needs and does what it’s advertised to do.

Interface:
An application’s interface has to make sense for it to be valuable. After all, the goal here is to make your life better, not to add the stress of trying to operate an awkward program. Many BlackBerry applications are so totally integrated with the features of the device that they don’t seem to be additional programs at all. They’ll simply add some options to an existing function. Once activated you don’t even have to launch them to use them. Others operate more traditionally like programs on a computer. Open it then use its features. In either case, the key to the interface is that it should perform properly without adding more work for you.

Graphics:
What does the application look like when it’s operating? Applications that enhance integrated BlackBerry features may display nothing more than additional menu options or look exactly like the built-in graphics of the BlackBerry. On the other hand, games should be fun and reflect the nature of the play.

Stability:
Additional applications place additional tasking on your devices hardware and operating software. Properly written applications run smoothly in conjunction with the rest of the device. A poor application can interfere with normal operations and freeze the whole device. If an application isn’t stable it likely isn’t worth having regardless of other attributes.

Program size:
Most third-party applications are pretty small. Still, everything adds up so you need to know how much memory an application requires and how much you have available. A few applications can be run from the memory card and some utility applications will open up a memory card for application storage.

Best BlackBerry Bold Touch Screen Perfect Smartphone

BlackBerry Bold Touch Screen. It is about time for BlackBerry to come up with the perfect smartphone. They have been losing market share to Android and Apple based devices recently. BlackBerry's response to that is the BlackBerry Bold Touch Screen, a new handset with a touchscreen twist.

Although BlackBerry had a similar concept with the Torch, which also has both the QWERTY computer style keyboard and touch screen, it was not ideal due to its sliding design which made it quite bulky and hard to use. Even though the touch screen was nice to have, entering text did prove to be of slight difficulty. But at long last, after its first leak two years ago the flagship BlackBerry smartphone is now available. Behold the BlackBerry Bold Touch Screen, the first Torch and Bold hybrid with a touch screen and a QWERTY keyboard in a single pocket sized device. RIM finally delivered what used to be just a concept, which had BlackBerry fans foaming at the mouth.

The aluminium casing gives the device a pleasant, rigid feel and the weaved glass spine panel looks beautiful. What really stands out though when you hold the device in your hand is that it is not oversized or heavy. Despite the hardware upgrades and new applications featured in it, the BlackBerry Bold Touch Screen is fantastically slim. It is in fact the thinnest BlackBerry so far. It is without a doubt RIM's sleekest phone to be ever released, and if you are a regular BlackBerry consumer, you will definitely see the difference.

BlackBerry Bold Touch Screen showcases a lot of control keys all around it's edges, such as the multimedia control buttons and the digital camera shutter control key. On the front panel, the touch control keys around the trackpad includes menu, back, phone and also end. The back of the phone helps add to the classy styling of the Bold Touch. It also has a removable battery pack unlike the iPhone which makes replacing the battery easy in the future if you need to do so. RIM admitted they could have made the Bold much thinner if it was not for the detachable battery pack. It must be because most consumers were not really enthusiastic and a bit worried at the idea of an internal battery that could not be removed, so RIM decided to stick with the detachable battery pack instead.

BlackBerry Bold Touch Screen is a lot smaller compared to other phones with a touch screen. The Bold Touch only sports 2.8 inches, but nonetheless; it does not present any serious difficulties. Users would not end up tapping the wrong symbols but it might require more fingertip-aiming effort since the screen is relatively smaller. Since the phone is also sporting a new operating system, Liquid Graphics and a powerful processor, the screen performance is much improved in terms of speed and visual quality. If finger-tapping and swiping the screen becomes a difficulty, there is still the trackpad and the full QWERTY keypad to rely on. The QWERTY keypad, as one will notice, is now slightly larger so that typing on it will not have the crowded and cramped feel.

The looks of this device is not the only improvement. Inside, the Bold is powered with a great 1.2ghz processor, backed by large storage, and equipped with various helpful applications for personal, business and entertainment purposes. All of this helps to make the BlackBerry Bold Touch screen the best BlackBerry phone yet.
