5 out of 5 stars If you are after a blackberry - This is the one to have   February 2, 2009

If you require a stable business phone with simple to use email facility, this is it! An excellent step up from the brilliant Blackberry 8800 I had previously. It has a slightly bigger key board, is very simple to set up, and feels a better quality piece of kit than the Curve (although I rate them highly also). Battery life seems good, reception excellent, and email a dream on the move. This is the only serious busines phone to have!


5 out of 5 stars USER REVIEW - "Mobile" redefined and an end to the "...versus i-Phone" argument.   December 16, 2008
Blackmale (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK)
109 out of 116 found this review helpful

Let's spoil the story by telling the ending first.
1. Quite possibly the best communication device since the words MOBILE and PHONE got married.
2. It is NOT perfect. There are some (spectacular) flaws to bait critics who are then comprehensively demolished by the no-nonsense approach to BOLDy going about BUSINESS, which is what the (HAL?)9000 is all about.
3. Goodbye "i-Toy"? Not because the 9000 is better, but because the business focus demands you separate the two to such an extent you conclude they defy comparison.

CONTROLS You can "dual thumb" the superb key pad with a fluency that emabrrasses anything with a touch screen including the Apple and BB's own Storm. The trackpoint is a self teaching delight - nothing comes close for ease or flexibility. Combined this must be the end for drumming a stick on your PDA. The display is bright sharp and presents information with executive level clarity. Strictly business - but at it's best but with some glorious touches, BB recogises the protective wallet and shuts off when you return it as well as reading ambient light to adjust screen and backlighting for keys without prompting.

PHONE Only two weak points, numbered keys are small for fast dialing - but it ain't the end of the world, and when you customise the HOME page displays, you can't fix the final locations of your Icons...Yet.

SMARTPHONE You are carrying one of the first generation of "truly" practical handportable computers. It has been done thousands of times before, but if the tools are weak and the keyboard not ergonomic you simply avoid any of the SMART stuff your smartphone is capable of. The Bold 9000 carries a 600mhz chip on board which (for the non-anoraks) makes it as powerful as the laptop you carried in 2000. All talk of applications is also therefore rendered irrelevant by the fact that if you don't like what's on board you can quickly download something better - and you still get to receive and open WORD/EXCEL/POWERPOINT/PDF files fresh out of the box as well as sending all types of windows media. The machine multi-tasks effectively and with stability - listen to music while reading the news (online) with consumate ease.

E-MAIL Definitive. There is a reason that Barrack Obama used one. Set it up (for free)to synchronise your existing e-mail addresses and mail manger and to receive and reply everything you have on your desktop - Fast and reliable to the point of being (office)life-changing!

TEXT Reborn! The 9000 demolishes preconceptions. You find yourself achieving the thing perceived to be most difficult, to type VERY quickly and ACCURATELY without practice. The styling is based on how we would naturally hold something designed to be HAND-HELD and can be navigated or operated beautifully with one hand - try that with a PDA. Still not convinced? Borrow one and find the following:-
First day, you will have remembered how to write in English instead of TXT SPK!. By the second punctuation will have crept in by itself and by the third, you may have discovered that most (non-smartphone) recipients can't digest the seven pages you keep sending them. Trust me - once you start.....etc. It appeases the stubborn with (horrific) predictive text option but whacks that with a real spell checker so choosing is a non-brainer. it also cuts, pastes and responds to all the other controls that Windows has taught you.

INTERNET Read pages EASILY on the widescreen (in "Column" mode Wikipedia reads like a minature book). Scroll and point masterfully with a single hand and it's quick enough for everything short of online form filling. Auto-defaults to the stronger of WiFi/3g/GPRS networks.

MUSIC Everyone notices the 3.5mm headphone socket (yippee!!!) sticking out of the side of the unit instead of the top (aaarggghhh!!!). Detailed and clear music, good enough to disguise the compromises of MP3 until you get home to do it properly and damn loud...if you really must. Onboard music software has all the options and displays all your media player details and album covers.No I-Tunes as standard (so what?), but the chip says "whatever you do want master..." providing you download first. Handy side mounted volume controls and further assignable buttons for (direct music and camera access in my case), plus a head mouned button that acts to pause any active applications. Ships with 2gb (1gb internal and a supplied 1gb micro SD card)as standard with support for up to 8gb Micro SD (£14 on Amazon 2008!) which roughly translated means it's time to auction your i-pod.

CAMERA Only 2mp (cue laughter), but still superbly integrated into the architecture.
Video capture? Well at least this BB does it. Simplicity to manage as a camera. Video file playback is brilliant (literally) only surpassed by i-Phone and viable for watching a whole film on a train.

DIARY Office efficient. This time you WILL throw away your paper version and not fish it back out of the bin later. You can also synchronise the entries with your desktop/laptop so Outlook/Lotus users keep singing.

SAT-NAV - Okay no Tom-Tom, but it does work, is flexible and is perfect for occasional/back up use. You can upload additional applications - e.g. Google Maps so you compensate to preference.

BATTERY strong and challenged only by your temptation to this device to degrees you may never have contemplated before. Charge in 90mins and lasts two days when your flogging it.

The Bold beats no competition on features alone, but is such a cohesively and comprehensively designed solution. It is best not for what IT can do but for what YOU ACHIEVE.

When someone shows off an i-phone they say "WATCH this."
When someone shows of a BB they say "Here, TRY this"
It really is THAT easy!!!



5 out of 5 stars Incredible   March 15, 2009

This is quite simply an incredible phone, the look and feel are spot on, it feels expensive and a bit posh.

The user interface is much improved when considering all the other garbage that BlackBerry have churned out on their phones in previous flagship models.

One of the nicest features of this phone is that it has a 3.5mm jack for your headphones as well as an easily accessible microSD card expansion slot for up to 16GB worth of music, videos or photographs.

The screen resolution is what pulled me to this phone, it's simply beautiful to look at. For the iPhone faboys out there, this Blackberry Bold has the same resolution packed into a tighter area, meaning stunning pixel definition unlike anything I've ever experienced on a handheld device.

My one and only gripe with this phone is that the 2 megapixel camera isn't up to par with the rest of the phone's bespoke feel. It's far too simple and the pictures come out very grainy despite good lighting conditions. The flash goes some way at making up for this but of course pulls up short.

Buy this phone, you won't be able to live without it once you have, this I can promise you.

5 out of 5 stars A great combination of technology all rolled into one   December 5, 2008

I've had my BlackBerry Bold 9000 for 3 weeks now and it exceeds all my expectations. A multi-functional piece of technology that helps me save time and effort when it comes to accessing the information I need.

I've increased the memory up to 8Gb by means of a MicroSD card and it runs smoothly in all applications.

Thanks to Steego in North Yorkshire for recommending this BlackBerry model to me. Cheers mate
