The BlackBerry has indeed come a long way since it was first introduced as a two-way pager in 1997 by Research in Motion. Today, if you are looking for a smartphone which supports push e-mail, Internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services - there is no better device to use than the BlackBerry.

This is not to mention the fact that it 'doubles' up as a mobile telephone, supporting calls and text messaging. Due to the ingeniousness behind their wireless technology networks, even the manufacturers of typical mobile phones in the market are using the BlackBerry e-mail client.

This is so that the phones that they offer can connect to the BlackBerry servers and use the BlackBerry e-mail client.

Example s of these mobile phones are:

- HTC Advantage X7500

- Motorola MPx220

- Nokia 6810 and 6820

- Nokia 9300 and 9500

- Nokia E50, E51, E60, E61, E62, E70 and E90

- Qtek 9100 and 9000

- Siemens SK64

- Samsung t719

- Sony Ericsson P910, M600i and P1

What You Need to Know about the BlackBerry Bold

For the year 2008, RIM decided to introduce the BlackBerry Bold candybar smartphone to the rest of the world. It had a worldwide release on August 21 of this year.

To learn what the BlackBerry Bold has to offer as a smartphone, here is a list of the features:

- 2-Megapixel camera with flash, digital zoom and video recording

- GPS system with extended ephemeris, A-GPS support

- MP3, media and video player

- Wi-Fi accessibility

- HTML browsing

- 128 MB flash memory, 1GB on-board storage, maximum 16GB external storage

- 3.55 mm stereo audio jack

- 13 days standby and 5 hours talktime

A Detailed Look at the Features of BlackBerry Bold

The good thing about the BlackBerry Bold is that it has HSDPA, Wi-Fi and GPS. Also working in its favor is the full QWERTY keypad and the bright screen resolution.

The candybar smartphone may be a little wide for those who are used to handling slimmer phones. However, it does allow users to enjoy a full QWERTY keypad. When typing away on the complete keypad, you can enjoy seeing it on the widescreen of the BlackBerry Bold.

The manufacturers also decided to overhaul the boring icons by incorporating neon colors on the menu.

When it comes to the features - you will find that the BlackBerry Bold is one nifty device to use. You can access high-seed e-mail and there's Internet accessibility almost anywhere. One other cool feature that music lovers would appreciate is the inclusion of a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

In addition, the GPS can get you were you need to go. The only downside which can be seen on the BlackBerry Bold is that the 2-Megapixel camera could have been better.

Also, the screen is easily marred and scratched - and the silver chrome casing could have been made of strong metal instead.

If you will find mobile phone deals within the UK which offer the BlackBerry Bold as part of the package - this is something that you should seriously consider because this is one good mobile phone to have.
