Despite the fairly humorous company name that has spawned countless jokes to do with fingering the device the latest offering from RIM in 2008 has been the Blackberry 9000, otherwise known as the Blackberry Bold.

The Blackberry Bold name was coined after people testing the device were surprised at how bold the colours were from the screen, spawning the name.  None of the testers have yet claimed any Intellectualy property infringement over the source of the name yet but I will laugh when the inevitable court case comes about.

But back on Track!
The Blackberry 9000 Bold is infact a stunning device, its screen is sharp, crisp and of course bold.  Its interface is a piece of cake to use and is both intuative and quick to navigate.

Looks wise the device not only has a stunning screen but a curvier more sttractive shape while still incorporating the QWERTY keyboard so familiar to blackberry users.

The great thing about this device is that it incorporates a hellova lot of gadgetry that previous versions have lacked.  This includes (ontop of normal quad band GPRS) WiFi, GPS Positioning, HSDPA/UMTS, Bluetooth and a 2 Megapixel Camera.

Inside the Blackberry 9000 is a process that is twice the speed of its predecessors combined with 1gig of internal memory (And an Micro SD expansion card slot capable of handling upto 16GB if required)

The Blackbery Bold also hasa  few other tricks up its sleeve, with a brand new web browser allowing for easy website navigation and a fantastic media player for any movies or mp3s you might want to listen to.  The videos have stunning qality on the Blackberry 9000s crystal clear screen.
All in all this is a fantastic device at a relatively cheap $300-$400 price range.  While I am not a blackberry user myself this is a serious upgrade over previous blackberry versions and should seriously be considered by any Blackberry users out there!
