BlackBerry Bold 9000 Review
Score: 40.8 / 100BlackBerry Bold 9000 is a low end BlackBerry cellphone released in May 2008, provisioned with a quite powerful 624 MHz CPU, a 2 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a compact 2.6 inches display.
Blackberry appears to have forgotten about weight optimization in this 4.8 ounces phone. This phone is a little thick compared to nowadays phones, being as thick as 0.59 inches. Whereas this phone is as big as 4.49" long, it only comes with a much smaller 2.6 inches screen.
This cellphone has a very good 2.6" display with a 320 x 480 resolution, giving this device a detailed graphic quality.
Blackberry ships this cellphone with a quite powerful 624 megahertz processing unit. The BlackBerry Bold 9000 has a poor 1 GB internal storage, which might be enough for some users having that it also has an external SD slot to store pictures and videos and even some games and apps that allow external memory installation.
This phone provides wifi connection (but it can't be shared with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and 3G fast connection type, supported by HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The BlackBerry Bold 9000 uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.
This phone is only equipped with a 2 MP back side camera. The camera also features flash.
This cellphone has a mid capacity 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is quite low for a phone like this. According to Blackberry, this cellphone has an aproximate stand by time of 312 hs and a talk time of 5 hours.
This cellphone also comes with a handful of interesting features such as Bluetooth and GPS, and Light Sensor.
This cellphone is very overpriced considering it is offerred for $ 99, and other similar cellphones cost a lot less than that.
