The Blackberry Bold : A Short Guide
RIM has now added the Blackberry Bold to its repertoire of smartphones, and it brings a lot of innovative features to the table that are new to the Blackberry family. With this phone, you can take advantage of 3G HSDPA technology to access high speed networks. Also, not only do you get a larger, higher resolution screen, you can use it to view and edit Microsoft Office files. For business users especially, this phone is worth serious consideration.
The 480 x 320 resolution screen makes it sufficiently large to allow you to easily read emails and watch videos with crystal clarity, but it also makes the overall size of the Blackberry Bold bigger compared to other models in the line. While it is a bit bigger, it is just as lightweight, and the keyboard just as simple to use as ever. The new Blackberry OS, Blackberry 4.6, is featured in this phone, powered by a 624 MHz processor and it allows you to connect to WiFi, GPS, and HSDPA networks.
Multi-media tools not previously available on a Blackberry have been incorporated in the Blackberry Bold. These include such exciting entries as: enhanced media player capable of displaying full screen mode pictures, sideshows and films, Blackberry desktop manager to manage music on your phone and a 2 megapixel camera with built-in flash, 5x digital zoom and video recording.
There is a new Blackberry Media Sync application that enables you to synchronize your smartphone with iTunes, which is perfect for those of you with large music collections you want to take with you wherever you go. What’s more, this transfer can happen fast with the USB 2.0 connection on the phone. The pair of integrated speakers lets you listen to the music very clearly.
A stable and premium Mobile Office suite, DataViz software Documents to Go, is utilized by the Blackberry Bold. This is a huge advantage to frequent travelers who communicate with both their office and their clients via phone since it allows you near perfect duplication of viewing documents and presentations as they would appear if you were viewing them on a desktop. You should be aware that in most instances Microsoft documents will be in a view only format and not allow changes to be made.
