I have previously been an owner of the blackberry curve and pearl and the bold by far is the best phone I have ever laid my hands on.
The phone is stylish and the format is set out in a clear and easy to use way. Although fonts are limited, the new fonts added to the bold are nicer to look at than the previous. The phone is very easy to customise, with a vast variety of covers, cases, skins to protect the phone, although the phone is very durable. Unlike the other blackberry's, the bold has a leather look hard battery/back cover, this is also very useful, because if your one that is careless and drops the phone, like myself, no scratches are seeable.
Many themes can be downloaded and bought for the blackberry bold, meaning you can customise it to your personality as much as possible, you can even make your own themes with the right tools.
Many people look at the blackberry and worry that it looks to complex to use. However, once you've found had the phone for a couple of days and found your way around, you will find it is one of the most easiet and pleasent phones to have.
I was suprised to see how long the battery life of the phone lasted considering I have the internet package and I always have bluetooth connected so I can use handsfree via my car.
The picture on the phone is very crisp and clear, perfect for playing games, watching music videos and so on. The camera is not as clear as the previous blackberrys, but nevertheless it is a good camera for a phone.
With a blackberry, people on the go, will find it very easy to stay in touch with friends and family via the social network applications that can be downloaded via the 'Blackberry App World' that can be downloaded to the phone. The phone will recieve a notification each time someone gets in touch with you via facebook etc when you set it up.
I 100% recommend the blackberry bold to those who want a phone with a stylish kick.
