BlackBerry Bold 9000 Review Analysis | All Features Rated & Tested

price

0.5

pricey
Expensive
List price, however, check for discounts on the ATT site using employer or institution - look for rebates on the ATT site or store
The price is little steep, but do you want a Lexus or do you want a Kia
Expensive, wide, browser better but could still be improved

BlackBerry service accounts are expensive
Does what the iphone cant and has a good enough media player to give it a run for the money

I thought the price was high but I bought it anyway
bit pricey
The price is a bit steep, but it's worth it
it is way to much money and i think it is over priced
Pricey, but you get what you pay for for this one
It is also way TOO EXPENSIVE
Side buttons have cheap feel when pressed
Accessories are expensive (only if purchased from ATT)
I can't afford this
Make money by selling phones twice the price of market
Damn expensive
the fake leather back of the phone is very loose, It easily comes off and wiggles while on the phone body, i'm hoping it's just a model defect i can get replaced, in ear headphones may be uncomftorable to some, Damn expensive
Too expensive
Expensive contract
expensive Phone
Expensive contract, expensive Phone, not a touch screen,
It is also a bit too expensive
Price is bad
I carried a cheap Samsung for making calls
Until I ordered the Bold, I carried a cheap Samsung for making calls

Very expensive, ill-fitting pouch

It's a little masculine
It's a little masculine, but that can be rectified
A little bulky reminds me of the old blueberry (7290)
The phone is a little wide, browser is slightly sub par in comparison to others
but I think that is due in large part to my constant activity on this phone
the difference between 3 and 5 ounces isnt that big a deal to me
i guess the bulk is a con, but, the difference between 3 and 5 ounces isnt that big a deal to me
and the keys are a little wobbly
and the small size of the text
I wish it was a little bit thinner and less bulky
I wish it was a little bit thinner and less bulky, but it's really not that bad
The only Con I can find in this device is its size, but even that doesn't take long getting used to and is easily overlooked for its capabilities
Size-the Curve is a better feel
The browser could be a little better but it gets the job done
OS does seems little boring sometimes
A little bit pricey
little large
