RIM has recently announced the introduction of a new smartphone called the Blackberry Bold. This new offering by RIM will include many new features that have never been offered in the past on any current Blackberry phones.
The Blackberry Bold is also the first Blackberry that has 3G HSDPA technology. The resolution on the screen will also be higher than on previous Blackberry models and the addition of support when working with Microsoft Office files will make working with the Blackberry Bold much easier than earlier models.
The Blackberry Gold has a screen size of around 480 x 320, large enough to allow users to use mobile video and read long emails much easier. Because of the larger display area, the Blackberry Bold is somewhat larger than other recent Blackberries. In spite of the increase in size, it is rather lightweight with an easy to operate keyboard.
This model is the first to include Blackberry 4.6, the newest version of the Blackberry operating system. The Blackberry Gold also includes a 624 MHz processor and is the first of RIM's phones to support HSDPA high speed networks, GPS and Wi-Fi. Up until now Blackberry has been behind the eight-ball in working with Microsoft Office files. Instead of old technology, new RIM smartphones including the Blackberry Bold will utilize the DataViz Documents to Go, a much more stable and premium version among the Mobile Office suites.
With Documents to Go you can view documents and presentations almost exactly as they would appear if you were viewing them on a desktop. This is a definite advantage for those who travel frequently and use their Blackberry to communicate with their office as well as clients. Keep in mind that in many cases you can only view Microsoft documents, you cannot change them.
Since the Blackberry Bold is new to the market you will need to search a little more for a Blackberry Bold review. That doesn't mean there are no reviews available but rather that it will take some time before you will find many reviews on this phone. As you look forward you will discover that once mobile phone deals start to become available for the Blackberry Bold, it will become more popular and Blackberry Bold reviews will become easier to locate.
Blackberry has always been the most well-known among the smartphones but with so many other manufacturers developing their own smartphones, it's essential for Blackberry to be able to stay competitive and include some features RIM has never included on the Blackberry but that other smartphones have been using since their releases.
With the competition so stiff for smartphones, RIM has to enter into the 21st century with its offerings and provide users with more features if they are to remain competitive. The number of "firsts" that are on the Blackberry Bold shows they are on their way to remaining the most popular smartphone on the market in both the individual as well as business sectors.

Blackberry Bold Review - Features and Overview
The Blackberry Storm Verses the Apple iPhone
The Blackberry Storm, the new smartphone star of the Verizon Wireless world, has been compared to the Apple iPhone. In fact, many have decided that the Storm, created by Research in Motion, is the first true challenger to the iPhone.
But what exactly can the Blackberry Storm do, and is it truly worth the price?
Well, here are just a few of the things that make many choose the Blackberry Storm over Apple's iPhone.
• It's a Blackberry.
The name itself has become known as the standard in smartphones. More than that, however, the Storm features tried and true Blackberry features. If you've used a Blackberry before, you'll be able to simply pick up the Storm and go since the operating system is organized much like that on previous Blackberry models. There's no huge learning curve like there is with the iPhone.
• A touch screen.
The Blackberry Storm is RIM's first touch screen smartphone, and its operating system looks very similar to the iPhone's. To navigate through the various programs and applications, all you need to do is touch the correct icon with the stylus.
• The price.
It's no secret that the iPhone is expensive. But Verizon's Storm is much more affordable. If you have a contract with them already, you'll pay less than $200 for your Storm. If you're running your own business and want to upgrade, you get even more of a discount-it's only around $100. There are many other, less advanced cell phones that sell for more than that.
In addition to these three reasons, the Blackberry Storm has a number of other features that make it the phone of choice for many. They include the following:
• Music and video.
The Storm can play MPEG4s, WMVs, and a variety of audio files. Instead of carrying around your phone and your MP3 player, you'll only need to make room for one device in your purse or pocket. The Storm has plenty of storage space, too (1 GB), so you don't need to worry about running out of room.
• A long battery life.
You can take for up to five and a half hours with the Storm before it needs a recharge, and it has a 15 hour standby battery life.
• A camera.
Every phone seems to have an integrated camera nowadays, and the Storm is no exception. The Storm has a 3.2 megapixel camera that takes both still images and records video.
• A built-in GPS.
You won't get lost with your Storm. It has a built-in GPS device and access to Blackberry Maps, an application that can tell you exactly where you are and give you directions to where you want to be.
These reasons and features alone are enough to make the Blackberry Storm stand out in its field, but they're only the tip of the iceberg. If you're looking for a great smartphone without the price of the iPhone, you may find the Blackberry Storm is exactly what you want.

Blackberry 34 Pearl Flip Phone is First RIM Blackberry Clamshell Device
Blackberry smartphones have followed a very set design over the years, the Curve editions are always slightly wider in girth but slim whereas the Pearl range is the closest a Blackberry phone comes to looking like a regular mobile device.
However, the manufacturer has tried a new design, new for them but not for the overall mobile phones market, clamshell phones have been around for over 15 years dating back to the first ever flip phone the Motorola Star Tac - if you are old enough you will remember that it was considered a major breakthrough in mobile technology.
Over the past few years the main four UK mobile phone manufacturers have all released at least one flip phone, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and most fanously Motorola who always seem to have a clamshell on the market so why has it taken Blackberry so long to produce one of these? More importantly, have they made a good job of it?
The new 34 is actually a part of the Pearl range of Blackberry phones and when you see a picture you will realise why, the handset offers the same characturistic slim but deep build of the other Pearl models especially when fully opened. The Blackberry Pearl Flip 34, otherwise known as the Blackberry Kickstart 34, is in short Blackberry's first flip phone that offers all the added advantages of being a Blackberry smartphone but with the benefits of being a clamshell.
This phone has caused quite a stir of late, with its reinvented design, RIM have pushed the boundaries that much further with what looks to be a very successful result. The Blackberry 34 Flip smartphone comes with the Blackberry OS v4.6.1 and has opted for a bigger 2.63 internal screen as well as an external LCD display. Although there's no GPS radio the Pearl 34 is still a Quad Band GSM device with GPRS support and EDGE technology plus WiFi connectivity.
The Blackberry Pearl 34 Flip mobile phone weighs a little over 100g and features a new and improved HTML web browser that is not only capable of viewing desktop website versions but mobile versions as well. As with the majority of Blackberry devices the Pearl 34 is just as capable as a messaging device as any other and with the presence of SureType just as easy. Supporting the likes of email and instant messaging with Yahoo! and Google Talk, the Blackberry 34 Pearl shines brightly under scrutiny.
Sporting a 2MP autofocus camera with video capture for want to be photographers, the Blackberry Flip has something for everyone and music lovers will be pleased with the inclusion of a full media player with multiple audio support and 3.5mm audio headset jack. A stereo headset is included in the package. This new clamshell device has initially been made available on O2 pay monthly contract deals in the UK, however the phone is set to enjoy further launches on competing network operators over the coming days, in conclusion the Blackberry 34 Flip offers the same great features as the latest Pearl edition phones but with the added benefits of the keypad being hidden beneath the flip whilst not in use.
Whether this draws a new client base for RIM remains to be seen but clamshell mobile phones do have their enthusiasts who swear by nothing else, should they be considering a business enabled phone with a pleasurable side for those dull moments then the Blackberry Pearl 34 ticks the boxes. The Blackberry 34 Flip and Blackberry Storm are two of many recently released phones in the UK, for more detailed information please refer to our online mobile phones shop.

BlackBerry Cell Phone Review
A permanent access to all your emails... You dream about it? Blackberry phone did it. The BlackBerry is a wireless handheld device introduced in 1999 which supports push email, mobile telephone, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services.
Same size as a PDA, with a mini keyboard, BlackBerry device allows you to receive and reply to emails. How does it work? Connected to a cell phone network (Cingular BlackBerry, T-Mobile BlackBerry, Sprint BlackBerry, Nextel BlackBerry and Verizon BlackBerry), terminal BlackBerry regularly query the email server of the user.
When a new email arrives, the terminal signals it. The user can then read the message and reply. Innovation comes from the fact that synchronization of the emails with the messaging server is real time through the cell phone network it is connected and it supports both GSM, GPRS and UMTS. Of course, BlackBerry service is more specifically dedicated to companies.
The devices are very popular with some businesses, where they are primarily used to provide email delivery to roaming employees. To fully integrate the BlackBerry cell phone into a company, the installation of BlackBerry Enterprise Server is required. But the popular device BlackBerry that allows reading emails using cell phone network is forbidden in some companies.
Indeed, some security experts fear about communications being intercepted. However, Research In Motion (RIM), editor of BlackBerry, claims that all the traffic is encrypted from start to end by the Blackberry servers installed in companies. In fact it has the exact same security level as a traditional VPN if correctly configured. A Blackberry handheld allows users to fulfill their need of communication but also give them the feeling of control that a phone conversation doesn't offer. More and more professionals often work in mobility situation and need to permanently be connected to computing system of the company.
According to a recent study, one third of business users show signs of BlackBerry addiction almost similar to those of alcoholism. Some people even use the ironical term "crackberries" to name the phenomenon. Also, most users are supposed to get BlackBerry devices to enhance their productivity but their constant attachment to email make it hard for them to concentrate on other things when they are out of office.
The professional Blackberry is a "all in one" terminal, phone/PDA/messaging, which design is optimized to allow users to manage emails on the go and to access various applications. The original BlackBerry device had a monochrome display, but all current handsets have color displays. Most BlackBerry devices is equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard, The ease of keying in and sending not only emails, but also SMS, is particularly practical, even if they do not have a BlackBerry.
However, the BlackBerry has no memory extension, no 3G compatibility, no camera and not much style. What is more, multimedia functions still remain low compared to other Symbian or Windows mobile. That is until today with RIM unveiling its first and brand new multimedia phone dubbed the new BlackBerry Pearl.
But still BlackBerry devices depend on mobile phone service coverage and are not WIFI compatible unlike similar handheld devices that are on the market now. RIM BlackBerry is increasingly integrating instant messaging into their new devices and software. RIM offers its own proprietary BlackBerry Instant Messenger, but also offer a Yahoo Chat and Google Talk clients and probably an upcoming BlackBerry MSN Messenger client.
According to RIM, BlackBerry PDA is used by about 5.5 million users worldwide. Blackberry is used by almost 3 million users in America. Some sources say about 1 million government employees are regular users. Canada is another one of the key market of the company. While including the usual PDA applications such as address book, calendar, to-do lists, etc… you can always download more BlackBerry software like games, ringtones, themes, webclient and other applications.
