RIM has now added the Blackberry Bold to its repertoire of smartphones, and it brings a lot of innovative features to the table that are new to the Blackberry family. With this phone, you can take advantage of 3G HSDPA technology to access high speed networks. Also, not only do you get a larger, higher resolution screen, you can use it to view and edit Microsoft Office files. For business users especially, this phone is worth serious consideration.
This Blackberry model rolls out Blackberry 4.6, the newest version of the Blackberry operating system. This model remains lightweight even though increasing the display area to approximately 480 x 320 has resulted in an increase in the overall size of the unit relative to other recent models. This new generous display area facilitates viewing mobile video and reading long emails. This is also the very first of RIM’s phones to support HSDPA high speed networks, GPS and Wi-Fi.
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.
There is a new Blackberry Media Sync application that enables you to synchronize your smartphone with iTunes, which is perfect for those of you with large music collections you want to take with you wherever you go. What’s more, this transfer can happen fast with the USB 2.0 connection on the phone. The pair of integrated speakers lets you listen to the music very clearly.
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.
