Blackberry phones have always been popular, but mostly with the suited corporate types. While some non-business consumers have seen their appeal and adopted them over the other more widely accepted smartphones, Blackberry wants more 'regular' users, and the new improvements it's made to the Blackberry Bold are designed to make this Blackberry a little less stuffy, and a bit more fun.
The new Blackberry Bold still has the same layout and design as the previous version, and the majority of Blackberry's mobiles, but a few pinches and tweaks have created a phone that is a little lighter and thinner. The polished materials and great build quality mean those who get on with the full QWERTY keyboard will get a very attractive phone, that looks and feels every bit like a high end smartphone. One of the benefits of the Bold being slightly wider (even after the recent reduction in its dimensions) is the decent sized display, with widescreen proportions. The resolution is high enough to make watching movies and viewing images enjoyable, and the text in emails, messages and on webpages is clear and crisp.
As you'd expect from a smartphone manufacturer that keeps the business world in touch with itself, the Bold has the full range of connectivity options, with 3G data handling, as well as EDGE and GPRS. There's the latest Bluetooth and WiFi, and you also get GPS, although Blackberry Maps isn't likely to have Google too worried. With digital zoom, autofocus, and an LED flash, the 3.2 megapixel camera will be more than enough for what most people will want to use it for, and there is also the capability to record HVGA video.
With the latest Blackberry 5 operating system on board, and the more than capable processor, the new Bold proves itself to be more than just a business machine, and can easily handle images, videos, and music, which are now much more a part of the new Bold. Surfing the internet is no problem, although the built in browser does slow up on sites with lots of content. As you'd expect, the Bold is great for keeping in touch, and communication with different people, using different sources, is managed easily. Some people might think that Blackberry's contact and messaging interface isn't as dynamic as some of the other smartphones on the market, but it's simple, and it works well.
Blackberry faces a challenge to get its unique looking business phones accepted by a wider audience, but with stylish looks, an improved user interface, and a real alternative to the dozens of other smartphones available on the market, the new Bold is up to the task.
