Blackberry Bold 9000, which is the latest and most powerful that RIM makes to tackle the next generation, 3G iPhone. The Blackberry Bold 9000 will be equipped with various high speed data connectivities that will actually squeeze the 3G iPhone to one corner.
The BlackBerry Bold 9000 will feature tri-band HSDPA, quad-band EDGE, stereo Bluetooth, WiFi A,B and N and also autonomous GPS. Some claim the Blackberry Bold 9000 looks a bit iPhone-esque, especially with its glassy display, generally flat profile and rounded corners.
The Blackberry Bold is similar to its predecessors, which carries the QWERTY keyboards, and it’s shaped like more or less the same to the earlier models such as the Curve. The Bold gives little customization for its back, which it’s removable covered in black leatherette. And you’ll be able to change it later by buying replacement backs, which will be available in different colors, such as blue, brown, green, gray and red.
The BlackBerry 9000 Bold has some improvements for its QWERTY, which it’s claimed to be inspired by guitar with thin metal strips between each row. And the keys are sculpted to help users avoid fingertip slippage.
The Bold boasts a 2 Megapixel camera which is capable of up to 5x digital zoom. And the most worth-mentioned part is the CPU used within this phone, which is the 624-MHz StrongARM processor with full MMX that is claimed to be the most powerful CPU used on a handheld device to date. With this extra power CPU, it allows the BlackBerry Bold to handle full-motion video on the 480×320, 65k-plus-color display, which has double the resolution that the Curve has.
Watching video on the Bold will be smoother than the iPhone and giving you the feeling that the displayed images are in higher resolutions. As the Bold has a smaller screen size but is capable of displaying the same number of pixels as what the iPhone does. The only capability that the Bold lacks is the touchscreen.
Other worth mentioned goodies within the Bold are the 1GB on-board secure memory (on top of the 128MB flash) and also it comes with microSD slot which you can transfer audio and video clips onto it. The pricing of the BlackBerry Bold will be determined by the carriers. In the US, AT&T will be the one having highest chance to carry the Bold, as it’s got largest HSDPA coverage. T-mobile will be kind of unlikely, as it’s just started its 3G roll out. Anyway, RIM expects the Bold to ship worldwide this summer.

I have had my hands on the Blackberry Bold and it fits nicely into the hand. I think you will all find it a lot thinner then it looks in the photos, I work for vodafone myself and have been holding out for a new smart photo, Form me it was between the Samsung i900 and the Bold. We got the i90o the other day and as good as it looks and its spec kida matches the bold. The Windows OS and slowed it rite down. Yes the i900 has the 5mp camera but you can only open the cam applications once everything else is shut down otherwise it does not have enough system memory. As always Windows Mobile’s ways of making it hard to shut down applications have spoilt i good looking high spec device. The blackberry bold has the capability to open and edit Microsoft Documents while running the BB OS that we all know it quick. BB virgins should not be put off by using a different OS as this is fantastic and after a few days you will never go back. The Bold should be in Vodafone stores on 4th September.
For people in USA and Canada whom want to buy it now.it is available online too have seen a deal on
