Are you a serious user? If your answer is in affirmative, then here is a phone for you that will surely let you love its full keypad, high-resolution display with user-selectable fonts, superb e-mail support, 1GB of integrated memory, 3G HSDPA, WiFi, satnav and lots of additional features of which I will talk about below.

Dubbed as BlackBerry 9000 Bold, the feature-packed smartphone is claimed to be bold enough to sway you away from your beloved like iPhone, Touch Pro or Nokia N95. The BlackBerry 9000 Bold boasts of having the best of everything that BlackBerry has earlier produced, plus includes in 3G. It is also the heaviest and biggest BlackBerry, so suits best for heavy duty users.

BlackBerry 9000 Bold weighs 136g, and is thicker and heavier than the BlackBerry 8820, which is replaced by it. Even with its size, the phone has got a splendid design, with its glossy silver & black finish, and a few fine curves to take the edge off its bulk. The look of BlackBerry Bold is simply the biggest draw. It’s really sleek and swish. And when the phone is held in hands, it feels solid.

Now, you would ask, what’s the benefit of owning such a heavy device then let me tell you that BlackBerry 9000 Bold has enough room for a full QWERTY keypad that allows you to make text entry with ease. The keypad built-in with the trackball jointly gives the best UI that has been seen for serious texters and emailers.

I am glad to find that BlackBerry has augmented the resolution of the display from 240 x 320 pixels on earlier models to 480 x 320 pixels on the Bold. Having a user-selectable font sizes and 65,000 colour transmissive TFT LCD, It provides BlackBerry 9000 Bold with one of the best displays available, with just the iPhone giving a higher resolution.

BlackBerry 9000 Bold is integrated with a speakerphone and conference calling. With a Bluetooth headset and voice-activated dialing, the phone is equipped with fully handsfree operation. As we all know that the forte of BlackBerry is email, and the Bold completely backs up all email standards.
