BlackBerry Bold 9000 Review | A Beautiful Smartphone

With the BlackBerry Bold 9000's sharp display, you can customize the phone's home screen using various themes, background images, font size and type and back light brightness and time out. The trackball navigation control, Talk and End/Power keys, a menu shortcut, back button are directly under the screen. Although, you see this Smartphone as a wide and bulky phone but you will immediately notice that the wide size makes its QWERTY keyboard spacious. You feel easy and quick when pressing the buttons, typing and writing texts.

Supported with HSDPA for the high-speed internet connectivity, The Bold offers 400 Kbps to 700 Kbps for average and 2 Mbps for the peak speed. It features the 850/1900/2100 HSDPA/UMTS bands to also get 3G coverage in various countries including Europe and Asia.

You also find in this BlackBerry Bold 9000 quad-band world roaming, a speakerphone, conference calling, voice-activated dialing, speed dial, and text and multimedia messaging. With the noise cancellation technology, the voice remains clear and good in every situation.

Wi-Fi and GPS are also integrated in this phone. The Wi-Fi offers you an alternative method to get internet connection as you can not always depend on 3G. You just add the network manually or the Bold will automatically search for available connection. It is really easy and simple. Then you can enjoy a full HTML browser, and you can choose from two ways, page view or column view.

To know your position, GPS uses both satellite and triangulation to give you map and text-based, turn by turn driving directions with apps like BlackBerry maps for mobile. But if you want to get the voice guidance and real time tracking, you should use a location based service. The BlackBerry Bold is designed to work with AT&T Navigator and you should pay $ 9.99 per month for unlimited access or 2.99 per day access with 30 days free trial.

Of course, The BlackBerry Smartphone is still the best in Email management. you can receive emails instantaneously from up to 10 email accounts (personal and enterprise). With BlackBerry push technology, you don't need to retrieve your email. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, allowing you to be discreetly notified as new email arrives. Support is also built-in for viewing email attachments (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPerfect, and PDF formats).

If your company has a BlackBerry Enterprise Server installed, you can also take advantage of the power of wireless calendar synchronization. Your calendar events are exchanged wirelessly and automatically so that your desktop calendar and BlackBerry handheld calendar are synchronized. All your Outlook meeting requests, changes, and updates are instantaneously synchronized instantaneously with your desktop. Make meeting requests, invite new attendees and more, all on your Blackberry Bold. Users without BlackBerry Enterprise Server support can manually sync with their desktop calendars and contacts via Bluetooth or USB using the included BlackBerry Desktop Software.

You will enjoy wide variety of multimedia features such as built in media player for any music format (mp3, WMA, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, AMR-NB, MPEG4, MIDI music files, WMV, Xvid, and H.263 video clips), playlist creation, shuffle and repeat and a full screen mode for video playback. You enjoy the great sound that come out of the dual stereo speakears with a good balance of treble and bass. It is also supported with 2 megapixel camera which is sit on the back of the body with flash, 5x zoom and video recording.

For the battery, BlackBerry Bold 9000 is featured with 1,500 mAh lithium-ion battery with rated up to 4.3 hours for talk time and 10.5 days for standby time.

For the price, as I know to date, Amazon still offers you the best price of all devices including the BlackBerry Bold 9000.
