BlackBerry Bold 9000

The BlackBerry Bold 9000 is powered by a lightning fast 624MHz processor.The Bold 9000 features high-speed 3G capabilities so you can connect to the internet at broadband speeds whilst out of the office.

The  BlackBerry Bold 9000 has GPS chip and BlackBerry Maps software .The BlackBerry Bold come to life with a high resolution VGA display (480 x 320) providing extended screen space to display messages, view images and video in stunning detail.

The  BlackBerry Bold 9000 uses a trackball for the majority of navigation and a physical QWERTY keyboard for data entry.The keyboard has undergone a complete transformation from the previous BlackBerry Curve 8310. The major difference is that the keys have less space between them, though the slightly curved shape of the keyboard remains. Tactile feedback is excellent, and each key is responsive and comfortable. The fact that you can slide your fingers across the keys to select a letter instead of having to take your finger off the unit is convenient.

The handset's display is what really sets it apart from previous BlackBerry models. The 480x320 resolution screen is crisp and clear and displays excellent colour. Viewing angles are also superb; video optimised for the display is some of the best we've seen on a mobile phone. The redesigned user interface also benefits from the display: moving along the row of menu icons on the home screen results in a small flash of light shining on the selected icon — a nice touch of eye candy.

As a phone, the BlackBerry Bold 9000 is a well-equipped device, offering voice dialling, conference calling, speed dialling and call forwarding.HSDPA connectivity is a welcome inclusion, as is a GPS receiver and the pre-installed BlackBerry Maps software. The Bold 9000 also includes Wi-Fi, a 2-megapixel camera with the option of geotagging photos and a media player that handles videos, music and images. A 3.5mm headphone jack is present and the bundled headphones are of reasonable quality; the A2DP Bluetooth profile will also allow the use of wireless headphones.The  BlackBerry Bold 9000 includes a microSD card slot and there is a 1GB card included in the sales package.
