Blackberry Bold White Review

The BlackBerry Bold White is a smartphone that was created to help simplify your life. The Bold is designed with elegance and style in mind, while at the same time it is a very functional mobile.

With the BlackBerry Bold 900 white you will get the fastest and most powerful BlackBerry smartphone that is available; the Bold is one phone that offers you a lot of the features that you really need, such as high speed on networks all over the world, plus GPS, WiFi and much more.

The BlackBerry Bold in white has a 2.6-inch display as well as a nice user interface and a full QWERTY keyboard; all of these features together make the white BlackBerry Bold one of the easiest smartphones to use. You get easy access to your email, plus if you like to travel it will be easy to find your way around with the built in GPS that gives you turn by turn directions with AT&T Navigator Service.

In addition to being a great mobile phone for business, the BlackBerry Bold 900 White has a lot of multimedia features as well. You will get a music and video player, as well as a 2-megapixel camera that will also record video. This phone features free access to AT&T WiFi hotspots, and there are about 17,000 locations across the country; these include places like McDonalds and Starbucks.

For hands free communication you get Bluetooth, and to store your media there is 1 GB of internal memory as well as a microSD slot so that you can expand the phone’s memory up to 32 GB. The battery life for the Bold White is also fairly good, being rated for 4.5 hours of talk time.

Of course you also get high speed 3G Internet access. For the business user, the BlackBerry Bold White offers a document viewer and editor. With this tool you can view and edit Microsoft World documents, Excel and PowerPoint documents. For keeping in touch you get text and multimedia messaging. There is also support for social networking sites, which makes it simple to contact your online friends.

The call quality that you get with the white BlackBerry Bold is fair, though you might notice an echo every once in a while. The sound is just as good with the speakerphone, and for hands free use there is Bluetooth. The one problem that you may have with the Bold is that using WiFi does seem to drain the battery quickly.

Has potential to be amazing - isnt there yet

Apr 14th, 2010

I will start with the positives - Large beautiful screen. Easy to type keyboard. Tons of great apps. Fairly good battery life. Easy access to memory card through Windows.

Negatives - This is my second Bold as my first one died and had to go back. I feel this handset is also unstable. The apps sometimes decide not to work. This has happened so many times now that I am considering looking for a new phone. This would have been a great if it actually worked right.

Best phone i've ever had

Apr 8th, 2010

The phone is really user friendly and a great all around phone. I use it for personal use and use the calender to make sure I dont miss appointments etc. Great keyboard for texting fanatics like me. Highly recommend this over any other and believe me, i've done the research!

So much better than the iphone

Apr 8th, 2010

I love this phone its so much better than the iphone in regular day to day use. The texture of the device actually creates a feeling of a better grip - which means I drop it less! it is also nice solid in size - not to big, not to smalll.

This device has the most AMAZING screen and keyboard I have ever seen. The placement and shape of the keyboard appears to enhance use and you are much less prone to make mistakes when texting.

Having had three previous Blackberry devices, I am pleased to say that this is BY FAR my favorite.

Way ahead of other smartphones

Apr 7th, 2010

The BB Bold is miles ahead of any other smartphone. I like the fact that this phone is a bit bulker than others as I have big hands and it feels more robust.  The keyboard is also great and the screen is amazing!!!

The only thing this phone does not do well is that the vibrate is a bit too soft and I struggle to feel it.
