Most people associate BlackBerry with business email, but things are about to change. The BlackBerry Bold is certainly aptly named: it’s a very daring step into the world of all-in-one super-phones. The Bold’s core features are still made of serious stuff, but with the addition of HSPDA (3.5G) and GPS, RIM hopes to capture a larger piece of the smart phone pie.

currently, the smartphone business messaging piawai for one if not addressed in the BlackBerry. In this device we can easily enter up to 10 email accounts. It also supports file attachment with extension. Jpg,. Pdf,. Doc,. Xls and. Ppt

2 MegaPixel CAMERA

Slightly less impressive is the faux-metal border that surrounds the keypad and screen — it simply doesn’t have the same quality feel as the Nokia E71’s metal casing. Then there’s the back, which houses a 2-megapixel camera and is covered in mock leather — it’s a bit ‘BMW interior’ for us but you may like it.

GPS and GOOGLE MAPS

No need to fear stray in the wilderness of the city, because the GPS in the Bold BlakcBerry ready to guide us. When searching for the satellite signal is too long not only take 1-2 minutes, the slightly overcast weather. Digital map of them is Blackberry Maps that can be relied on a street address. It also is available in the Google Maps satellite imagery.

CONCLUSION

For some time we were worried that RIM didn’t understand the increasingly powerful consumer market. Businessmen were no longer content with boring business phones and the likes of Nokia were quickly moving in on its turf. But the Bold is a clear statement from RIM that it’s listening to the market.
If you’re a BlackBerry user, we seriously advise you to check out the Bold and even if you’re only considering investing in a super-phone, we recommend you have a look too. This is RIM’s pièce de resistance and will most definitely delight BlackBerry fans who refuse to get an iPhone.
