A new Smartphone has recently hit the market. The Blackberry Bold 9000 3G has been enthusiastically received and is already being described as a better alternative to the iPhone. The Blackberry Bold is a new enhanced phone from RIM. It is compatible with 3G HSDPA and supports UMTS 2100/900/850mhz networks and GSM 1900/1800/900/850Mhz bandwidths.



The Blackberry Bold 9000 Smartphone is GPRS, EDGE and HSDPA enabled meaning that there are many data sources available for this device. In Australia this can means speeds of up to 14Mbps on 3G networks. There is also WIFI for those hotspots.

It must have the simplest email set up of any Smartphone around. Just enter your email address and email password and it will search a massive database of know servers for all the required settings. Put the kettle on, when it boils, you will be receiving your emails.

We were amazed by the clarity and color of the display which is WQVGA 480X320. The new Blackberry 9000 Bold 3G Smartphone is also compatible to iTunes using Blackberry Media Sync. It can be plugged into a laptop or desk top by means of a USB or Bluetooth, pick out the items you want to synchronize with and the device does the rest for you.

Other new features that is making it such a success includes a memory of 1Gb through using a Micro SD card Slot, so it can be increased up to 32Gb. The battery is interchangeable and it also has a 2Mb Camera with LED photo light illuminator, a Video Recording option and a two year warranty, which is rather unique.

To select and view you navigate via a track ball. This is favored by customers as it is similar to using a mouse and can be carried out with one hand.

Its internal GPS includes Blackberry Maps and a voice guidance system that is available through Tell Map, transforming it into a Satellite Navigation device. There are also bill payment choices using Mint Mobile Payments so it can be used as a Mobile Eftpos machine.

This version of the Blackberry is perfect for those constantly traveling around the country. If your company uses Salesforce, the Blackberry Bold 9000 3G can be synchronized to work with Sales Force CRM Software. The advantage of the Blackberry over the iPhone is that it can be used if you have only one hand free, leaving the other to tap away at your computer screen or take notes.

Overall, the new Blackberry Bold 9000 3G is the answer to a total wireless solution.
