RIM Officially Unveils the BlackBerry Bold 9000

Rhythm in Motion has finally made the announcement that many BlackBerry fans have been expecting. The official announcement of the highly anticipated device confirmed the rumors that have surrounded
the BlackBerry 9000 Bold . Anyway, here are the highlights of the announcement.

RIM markets the Bold as a top of the line BlackBerry smartphone that features premium design and unprecedented performance. It is said to be perfect for business professionals and power users. Sounds impressive but I'll withhold my judgment until I can test the device.

The official images of the BlackBerry 9000 indicate that it has the most vivid and bold display offered by any BlackBerry smartphone. The device sports a VGA color LCD that has been fused to the undersurface of the lens. This fusion makes the images come alive with high clarity and definition. Users will find the pictures vibrant and razor sharp when using the Bold. Videos will also play smoothly and web pages, documents, presentations and messages on this new BlackBerry device offer exceptional quality and contrast.

It may present a stunning appearance but the BlackBerry Bold is more than just it's impressive outer shell. This smart phone is also defined by reliable performance. Downloading email attachments, streaming video or rendering web pages is a synch with the help of the Bold's support for tri-band HSDPA and enterprise-grade Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g) networks and its next-generation 624 MHz mobile processor.

Consumers will also benefit from the 128 MB Flash memory plus 1 GB on-board storage memory, and a microSD/SDHC memory card slot that are included in the device. RIM's 9000 device offers the renowned BlackBerry productivity applications, including phone, email, messaging, organizer and browser.

This high-end mobile phone makes life easier for users because it works with thousands of mobile business and lifestyle applications. With the aid of the preloaded DataViz® Documents to Go® suite, they can even talk on the phone while sending and receiving email or accessing the web, and download Word, Excel or PowerPoint files and edit them directly.

Let me repeat the figures offered by the BlackBerry Bold 9000
  • 480 x 320 display
  • 1GB internal flash memory
  • 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 (with A2Dp), GPS, MicroSDHC
  • 480 x 320 video recording, photo geotagging

  • Interchangable color back plates.

The announcement also informed the industry that the BlackBerry Bold 9000smartphone will be available from wireless carriers around the world beginning this summer. AT&T Mobility is expectes to be the first carrier to launch the Bold. However, a 1700MHz model coming which will support T-Mobile’s 3G data network will also be released.
