Top GPS Guide

Unlike Palm, RIM has built up an impressive product portfolio that is made even better by the addition of the Bold. Aside from offering a plethora of features, the Bold’s screen is one of the best we’ve ever seen.

Most people associate BlackBerry with business email, but things are about to change. The BlackBerry Bold is certainly aptly named: it’s a very daring step into the world of all-in-one super-phones. The Bold’s core features are still made of serious stuff, but with the addition of HSPDA (3.5G) and GPS, RIM hopes to capture a larger piece of the smart phone pie.

We boldly went where several reviewers will likely follow to see if the Bold lives up to its name. The BlackBerry Bold 9000 will launch around September for free on contracts from several networks, including 3, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone.

The first thing you notice when you pop the Bold out of its box is its considerable width — but this does allow for a full Qwerty keypad and a wide screen. Similar to the Nokia E71, the Bold’s keypad is superb. Its keys are spread out just the right amount and they’re raised at one edge so you can easily distinguish between each one.

Features
Before the Bold came out we struggled to understand why RIM omitted certain features from its BlackBerries, such as HSDPA or Wi-Fi, but the Bold has it all. HSDPA and Wi-Fi are present and correct, offering high-speed email and Internet access almost everywhere you go, and GPS means you can accurately find out where you are.

Setting up email is fairly straightforward, depending on what you need, but if you’re not going to use it to access your company email, you can use BlackBerry Internet Service to setup a variety of email accounts, including Microsoft Exchange. The Bold’s Internet browser is equally easy to use, rendering pages in a desktop format, although it doesn’t support Flash.
