BlackBerry Bold Review

14 March 2009 One Comment

What really makes the Bold "beautiful" is the HUGE screen. I thought the screen on my previous Curve was great. The screen on the Bold is twice the resolution (480×320 vs… 320×240). It is absolutely amazing. Not only is it stunning for movies and photos, it makes browsing the web and simply reading emails so much easier. You can fit significantly more information on the screen. The same auto-backlighting feature found on the Curve is also on the Bold. It senses the lighting conditions of the room and adjusts backlighting. Applications on the Blackberry have the same Java-esque "write once run everywhere" old fashioned look to them.

The Bold does push email on my GMAIL with minimal setup (type in your email, type in your password and Blackberry does all the setup). The iPhone cannot get the whole concept of push email right and still offers what I consider to be consumer level email.

Features:

  1. The media manager is straightforward and solid. I just popped in my previous 8gb microSD and it found all my .wma files without prompting. I can find the artist or song title I want by typing in the first few letters. Only negative is it hasn’t yet located the album art put on the card by wmp.
  2. When you plug it in for charging, it automatically switches to a clock display mode, where you can also easily set the alarm, which is perfect for how I use my phone as my main alarm. You can also set it from here to bedside mode, which permanently displays the clock super dim, and turns off annoying notification leds.
  3. Very loud speaker for music playback with surprising quality.
  4. Users new to 3G will be surprised by how fast the battery can drain when using that connection. But the battery actually holds out on par with other 3G phones.
  5. The screen responds to ambient light by becoming brighter when it’s bright, and dimmer with backlit keyboard in low light.

    Here are my impressions about this phone

    The stunning LCD display makes working on the go an invaluable option .If we talk about QWERTY keyboard ,all keys are of the same size and are incredibly tactile beneficial for keyboard veteran. The phone is also equipped with a built-in GPS/A-GPS receiver and is compatible with mono and stereo Bluetooth devices
    • Another thing that has become the basis of daily needs is VAD, simply dial anybody by a voice command.
    • Bluetooth technology is all time impressive , which allows you to connect your phone to compatible devices such computers, headsets, car kits etc without using cumbersome wires!
    • Certainly superior in terms of its design & photo quality.
    Well I find it according to my needs , hopefully others too have same ideology.
