RIM BlackBerry Bold 9000 Smartphone

Pros: Great (seriously) screen resolution, good design, compact size, full keyboard.
Cons: Keys are so close together that 'fat finger' mistakes are more common.

It's been a little while since I had a Blackberry upgrade at my job.  How long?  I'm not certain, but I think when I took my trusty old sidekick to the IT staff to see if they could resolve the problems I was having with it, one of the techs ...

Unlockable.

No auto-focus on camera.

I have been a blackberry addict for the past 7 years and upgraded to the Blackberry Bold 9000 from the BB Curve 8310.  I purchased the BB Bold in August 2008 and after using it for a few months, it is by far my favourite blackberry unit.  I ...

Pros: Screen, full keyboard, 3.5mm jack
Cons: Price, bulk

After a bit of cajoling, I got to play with my friend's RIM Blackberry Bold.  And then I stole it from him...but only for a few hours.  We had to drive around and do some things together so I got to mess with his phone and test out all of its ...

Pros: Every feature imaginable and yet it's all so well integrated.
Cons: A little pricey ($350 on a 3 year term) and some minor hardware QA issues.

I should mention here that the Bold isn't released in the US yet (rumour is Nov 4th). I'm in Canada and we've had the Bold here for about 6-7 weeks.I also have to say that I'm new to Blackberries. I originally had purchased a 3G iPhone (Rogers ...

Pros: Great Blackberry UI (especially for email), excellent call quality, WiFi connectivity
Cons: Small screen for Web Browsing, large form factor for a phone

This is my first Blackberry so I can't compare to others.  But let me say I do love this device.  I've had this for over two months so I've really had the opportunity to put it through its paces.My colleagues and superiors had been ...

Pros: Slick design, faster networks, large screen
Cons: Seemingly fragile, smaller trackball, no spacing on keyboard

When I was debating whether or not I would upgrade my Blackberry Curve, I had thought a couple of things:1.) Would the Bold really live up to expectations?2.) Given the current economic climate, did I really want to spend money? i.e. ...

Pros: Need a reliable PDA to do your emails?  This is the device for you!
Cons: Little pricey.

I have owned several Smartphones over the years.  I have basically stayed with Treos and Palms since they work with the software that opens lockboxes since I am a real estate agent.  I got very excited about the possibility of a Blackberry when ...

Pros: Lovely keyboard.  Great sound.
Cons: Appalling battery life.   Constant software glitches.   Costs hundreds a day to roam in Europe.

I want to say that I love my Blackberry Bold.  I really do.  I've had a Blackberry since 2001.  But I've carried a Blackberry Bold since August 2008 with Rogers in Canada. And my experience is that - beyond the glitz - the ...

Pros: Terrific device if ATT service is sufficient where you live.
Cons: ATT service is weak in many areas (i.e. CT), turning bluetooth back on stinks.

I upgraded to the new BlackBerry Bold 9000 on ATT about a month ago. I was upgrading from the Curve. The Bold is a huge advancement over the Curve (or any other BB for that matter). The screen is vibrant and amazing. You can watch movies on this ...

Pros: Has everything that you would ever dream of.
Cons: Too pricey.

Ok let me begin by saying that I love all the Blackberry phones, so I decided to upgrade from the 8310 to the 9000, and boy let me tell you that this phone is spectacular like all the other Blackberry's I owned. Ok first let me tell you that this ...

Pros: Fast, Fast, Fast! Keeps you connected!!!
Cons: Speaker volume could be higher. Battery life is good for only one day

Great device! My 1st PDAtype phone. Awesome for business use, now I can work more hours more efficiently! Even on vacation this thing can keep me working! Maybe that's not the best attribute but with your own business it's nice to be able to travel and still be on top of everything. The keyboard is large enough to be able to type pretty well. I'm 56 and a guy and I can do a decent job with the keyboard. A standard phone takes 5X longer and is much more frustrating to send messages on. The display is shart, bright and easy to see even with my 56 year old eyes! Another reason I bought it!

Viewing word, excel and pdfs works great. Even editing the MS stuff is decent.

Pros: Its blackberry, shceduling, email.
Cons: See above.

Overall good phone but not at all durable. After 6 months i'm on my second bold and my latest one is now having problems.  Recently the enter function on the mouse stopped working.  So after six months and paying full price on this when it first came out i'm shopping for a new phone.  Apparently i need something that i can take in and out of my pocket without breaking it?  I work at an office and use it just as most would. 

I do not recommend this phone.
