BlackBerry Bold 9790 Review: Specs, Features and Price

BlackBerry Bold 9790 is a smartphone with touch screen and BlackBerry's traditional QWERTY keypad. It's a very nice mobile phone as its look is very professional and it suits all your business or professional needs. ...

It is a really good smartphone for the BlackBerry brand lovers but the other smartphones with iOS and Android operating system still wins the race.

BlackBerry Bold 9650 is an easy-to-use workhorse

With Version 5 of the RIM Blackberry operating system, the Bold ushers in a new set of features including a high-end, 3.2-megapixel camera with flash and 3G, Code Division Multiple Access or Wi-Fi capabilities.

Extremely small footprint; low power usage

No parts access; no upgradability

Expert Review

A fully-fledged smartphone that boasts excellent connectivity features and a keyboard that's very useable. The only issue is that the phone has fairly basic battery life especially when using its 3G connectivity.

Great LCD screen, attractive design, web browser formats pages quite well, WiFi and 3G support, swift performance

Basic battery life, random freezes, keyboard isn’t as nice as that of the Curve, camera isn’t the greatest

The best business smartphone for AT&T customers

The Bold is BlackBerry's first 3G smartphone, and reviewers agree that while it is a premium device aimed at corporate users rather than mass-market consumers, the Bold still packs enough multimedia functionality for both work and play. ...

Top-notch processor, gorgeous high-resolution display, roomy QWERTY keyboard, push email, wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth

Bulky, slow web browser, weak call reception, expensive

If we were to sum it all up right now, then we would say that the Blackberry Bold is impressive but only for the people who the need these kind of features. For the younger crowds who want big touchscreens and loud PMP-phones, then there are cheaper...

Review: BlackBerry Bold

It's a powerful, capable and stylish addition, in fact. And it will fit the bill nicely for corporate and other business users committed to the BlackBerry platform and looking to upgrade.

That said, the iPhone does make it easier to input special characters used in Web addresses - period, slash, @ sign - by putting them right on the main (virtual) keyboard. With the Bold, you have to hold down the Alt/Shift key to get special characters.

BlackBerry Bold Preliminary Review

The BlackBerry Bold is set to debut on Tuesday, and Brighthand's Ed Hardy brings us his first impressions of this hotly-anticipated smartphone.

As I said, I’ve only had this smartphone for a couple of days, and it takes me longer than that to properly evaluate a new device and write a full review.
