Blackberry Bold – How Good Is It?

When Research in Motion released the Blackberry all those years ago, they unleashed one of the most popular smartphones on the market. Known for its all business performance, the Blackberry was sought after for its email capabilities and other cutting edge functions. To keep the Blackberry at the front edge of the curve, RIM created the Blackberry Bold, a handset that improves upon an already successful formula.
Where the Bold really excels is with its improvements on the screen. The 2.6-inch diagonal screen is slightly larger than the one found on the Curve. The Bold also adds three quarters of an inch to the width of the screen, bringing the total to 2.25 inches. The clarity and vivid colors on the Bold make older Blackberry screens seem dull by comparison. The resolution of the Bold is 480 x 320p, and Samsung has utilized the larger screen and better picture quality by updating the UI with bigger icons that are clearer and easier to handle.
Speaking of UI, the Bold operates on BlackBerry OS 4.6. Wallpaper can be set for the home screen, and the default theme is the Precision Zen. This allows for the display of six icons along the bottom of the screen in dock style. The user may also choose Dimension Zen, which places color only in the icon that is selected. Because the icons are larger, only three rows of icons appear instead of four, so users will have to scroll a bit more than on other models. For those who are looking to kill some time, they will notice the Games folder that contains Sudoku and solitaire as well as two online games that allow you to go head to head with others.
Everyone knows that the Blackberry’s claim to fame is email. RIM certainly knows this and hasn’t changed much with the Bold. Because previous Blackberry handsets already had it right, RIM has simply freshened things up, such as adding the ability to see pictures in message and full HTML. Attachment viewing is also included but outside of that, it is pretty much the same email experience. Of course, the text is easier to read on the improved screen, but the process is the same.
Much as they often do RIM has taken a good concept and revitalized it. With the Blackberry Bold, the company has taken the familiar aspects of handsets past and improved and tweaked them to maintain relevance. Blackberry fans will find a familiar and fresh device with the Bold.
