BlackBerry Bold Mobile Phone Review – Connect With the Ultimate BlackBerry

You may be more used to thinking of the BlackBerry as the mobile phone for business users, but you might have to change that opinion.  BlackBerry has entered the competition for smart phones for the general consumer market, with its own range of phones and applications for download.

Despite being very popular in the United States the BlackBerry didn’t take off in quite the same way in the United Kingdom, but with the development of new applications and a new customer focus perhaps BlackBerry will begin to change this history.  It may even become as popular in the UK as in the States.  However, it does have one heck of a challenge, not only from the Apple iPhone but also from other manufacturers, including big names like Nokia and Samsung, entering the smart phone and application market.

The BlackBerry Bold is certainly a feature rich phone with a responsive touch screen that can be used by anyone.  The stylish design and easy to use QWERTY keypad make using the phone a pleasure.  Many phones have buttons that are too small to be practical when trying to type, unless you have the smallest fingers, but the Bold phone makes this a thing of the past.  The chrome styling adds a touch of class and quality to the build of the phone, and certainly makes it an eye-catching and desirable design.

When it comes to connection options you can choose from WiFi, USB, GPS and Bluetooth, with both 3G and HSDPA connectivity.  These features work well and you may be surprised at how quickly you can get things done using this phone, but believe it, this is a classy piece of merchandise and the browser even works well on this model.  The battery life is also quite impressive for this type of phone, as the case included in the sale package helps to save battery power by automatically shutting off the screen and buttons.

Now for the problems – if you want a great camera then you won’t want the BlackBerry Bold, but to be honest none of the smart phones really offer much in the way of camera excellence, so you’re probably not placing that at the top of your list of priorities.  The other issue is the applications available for download and the support for them, however I’m sure this will only improve with time.

So overall, would I recommend the BlackBerry Bold?  The simple answer is yes, but for a longer answer I would say do your research and decide what features and support are most important to you and then choose the most appropriate smart phone.
