BlackBerry Bold

Sounds Familiar!
The name maybe often confused for a BlueBerry, but BlackBerry is one of the most recognised names in the business world. 

Why is it popular in the Business World then?
BlackBerry by converging technology now supports push e-mail, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services.  This means it’s ideal for people who need all their office facilities on the move. 

It does Email?
Arguably the push email system it provides is what makes BlackBerry famous!  Push Email means instant email.  As soon as an email is received by the server, the email is ‘pushed’ to your BlackBerry device within seconds.  Standard email servers usually work by connecting to the server every so often and downloading a batch of emails at a time, so it’s not instantaneous. 

Just for Business users then?
I’d honestly say no, with all the features packed into this device it is suitable for anyone looking for a good phone with top end features.  It maybe seen as a business handset, but if you need HSDPA (fast internet access), GPS or even Wi-Fi, then this phone will do the job.

Any other ways to communicate?
Well, it’s not just a phone and email device but there is also there BlackBerry Messenger, it’s a free service similar to MSN that allows you to instantly chat with other BlackBerry users.  Oh don’t worry if you have MSN or Yahoo messenger – that will work too but you may have to pay extra for it to your network.

What is the latest BlackBerry out?
The BlackBerry Bold is coming out this month!

What’s so special about it?
Well it has the normal features of previous BlackBerry devices, but it will be the first BlackBerry with HSDPA – which means fast internet connection.  It also has all the features you would expect for a new top range phone including inbuilt GPS and Wi-Fi, a 2 Megapixel camera, expandable memory, Media Player and support for Word, Excel and PDF files. 

Do I really need one?
If you’re an email junky, a techie or just someone who likes to stay up to date – then yes.  If you’ve never had email on your mobile before, I can’t explain how useful it is, and it’s not just perfect for business users, I use it to keep up to date with my Facebook notifications. 

Summary
Here’s a quick list on why you should buy it:

• Push email.
• HSDPA for fast internet connection.
• In-built GPS so you never get lost again.
• Wi-Fi.
• QWERTY keyboard for easy emailing and messaging.
• Half-VGA (480×320 pixel resolution) and a 65,000-color display for nice clear viewing.
