The Blackberry Bold is the new smartphone from RIM. It provides a host of new features that no other Blackberry phone has ever offered, making it the next evolution for this branch of smartphones. The 3G and HSDPA technology offered with the Bold is new to Blackberry, and it features a screen with a much higher resolution that you could find on Blackberries before. In addition, improved Microsoft Office support is now also provided. Business users really can not go wrong with the Blackberry Bold.

The 480 x 320 resolution screen makes it sufficiently large to allow you to easily read emails and watch videos with crystal clarity, but it also makes the overall size of the Blackberry Bold bigger compared to other models in the line. While it is a bit bigger, it is just as lightweight, and the keyboard just as simple to use as ever. The new Blackberry OS, Blackberry 4.6, is featured in this phone, powered by a 624 MHz processor and it allows you to connect to WiFi, GPS, and HSDPA networks.

This Blackberry is very media-centric, allowing you to utilize your music and videos like never before. The 2 megapixel camera found with the Bold allows you to take very high resolution pictures you can then send to your friends or upload to Facebook. The media player even lets you look at all of your movies, TV shows and pictures in an easy to use format.

The Blackberry Bold supplies lush stereo sound through two built-in speakers and supports polyphonic, mp3 and MIDI ring tones. Using high speed USB 2.0 provides for the fast transfer of music from a computer and the new Blackberry Media sync application facilitates synching iTunes music collections with the phone as well.

You can also keep in touch with your business with the help of the Blackberry Bold's Documents To Go feature, allowing you to look at Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents in the same way that you would if you were staring straight at them from a computer screen. This way, you can keep an eye on the important documents and presentations that can make or break your office. However, while you can view these documents, it is impossible to edit them, so keep that in mind.
