The BB 9000 overall is a good phone. In my opinion it is the strongest- it will not break easily I have dropped mine many times it hardly has any scratches. It is obviously bigger compared to other... more

    4 Stars Talking Fruity Diamond review Review with images 13/05/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Convenience of contact. lots of features, sturdy feel

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Convenience of contact, poor battery life, bulky in the pocket

    It's remarkable. The more devices we acquire to keep us in touch with the world around us, the less we actually communicate with each other. How many times have you seen two people sitting in a pub, both industriously typing on their phones, PDAs or laptops, and utterly ignoring the person sitting right opposite them? Partly for this reason, I'd avoided joining the Crackberry - oops - I mean Blackberry generation. My trusty Nokia was (and still is, for personal use) sufficient - I could make and receive calls, and send and receive texts, and even take the odd picture. What more did I need ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages mobile e-mail, excellent mobile phone, SMS/MMS, camera, web browsing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages synchronisation issues, inbox/calendar/contact updates are not transferred

    The commencement of a new job saw me presented with a brick like XDA device which truth be told was useless. E-mails had to be typed using a stylus which frankly took hours to write and every time the battery died it had to be sent back to IT while they rebuilt it from scratch after it managed to wipe every last trace of my documents and e-mails. After much sighing in front of my boss and several important e-mails going unreturned late at night and at the weekend she finally gave in and with much glee presented me with a BlackBerry 7100v, a model I had previously used, a model which to put ... more

    5 Stars BlackBerry Bold 9000 Review 30/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Look & feel; sound quality; fast Internet; range of features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Camera not great; file transferring is quite confusing

    It was time for an upgrade from my old mobile phone to a new one, and I spent a whole month trying to decide which new phone to buy. I soon narrowed it down to a BlackBerry Bold 9000 and the Nokia E71 - both, I was told, are "fantastic phones", and after having a play with the BlackBerry Bold and Nokia E71 in a phone shop, I quickly knew BlackBerry Bold was for me, and I ordered it the very same day. BlackBerry's have been popular for a while now, and I was eager to know why. They are known for being the phone for business people; however, I don't think this phone should be restricted to that ... more

    5 Stars To Boldy Go... 25/04/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks good, feels good and has a myriad of capabilities.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No touch screen feature.

    Introduction I’ve had my Blackberry Bold 9000 for about 2 months now. It’s definitely changed the way that I communicate in certain respects and made my life a little bit easier in lots of small ways. I find that I am much more update to date with things, like emails and Facebook updates. It helps me to plan the day more easily and get me to where I need to be. It’s true to say that I ‘survived’ before I got the Blackberry but it’s like anything new and innovative, you just can’t imagine being without it. Purchase Details and Contract I purchased the handset and contract from the Carphone ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great looking, very easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Poor Battery

    After recently getting the Blackberry Bold I thought I'd share my thoughts about it. Traditionally a Blackberry is known for being solely aimed at the business market with one of its main selling points being the fact that you have constant email access which is of course very important for some people. They were not aimed at the consumer market in terms of looks or capabilities. However, the Blackberry Bold (BB) aims to change that. With the recent trend on mobile phones being to include internet access, suddenly the Blackberry isn't so businessey and may have some appeal to the consumer ... more
