Finally My Love Has Come: Welcome BlackBerry Bold (9000 series)

Posted by Naomi "DigitalFanGirl" On May - 12 - 2008

All of you know I’ve been patiently waiting for the new BlackBerry to come out. I have an 8800, which I love, but I truly want a camera on my BB and wifi and am so anxious to see what other great new features the 9000 series BB will have.

So, it is official. The new BlackBerry Bold (yes, that is the official name) is here. UNFORTUNATELY (for me) AT&T will launch this phone first (dammit to all hell). But there is a 1700mhz model coming out later, which will support the T-Mobile (that’s my network carrier) 3G network.

I must say, I’m kinda diggin’ the design of this phone. It’s kinda sexy – very sleek – way thinner than my 8800. It is also longer and wider than the current BB Curve.

Here’s a snapshot of some of the features:

  • 1GB on-board memory with encryption
  • Tri-band HSDPA
  • Pricing in the $300-$500 range with a carrier
  • Launching on AT&T “this summer
  • Interchangable color back plates
  • 5 hours of talk time, 13 days of standby time.
  • 624-MHz Marvell Tavor PXA930 processor
  • BlackBerry® Unite! software for SOHO and home users
