HTC Sensation XE review: The eXtended Edition
Motorola RAZR XT910 review: Through thick and thinBlackBerry Bold 9000 review: Berry with guts
There we go folks, it’s a BlackBerry grand slam at the arena and we're set for another ride with RIM's finest. We guess this here Berry is neither Curve-hot nor Storm-inventive but it’s Bold enough to say little and...

Currently I have Nokia E71, I'm very happy with this phone. I didn't have chance to use BB Bold. Through comments I see that many are satisfied with BB Bold more than E71.
What about two issued pointed at the beginning of the review as main disadvantage
No email support without BlackBerry Internet Service account
The web browser is unstable when browsing through Wi-Fi
While with E71, there is no problem with email support, I can use my private email and my official email (through mail for exchange)
Browsing through Wi-Fi is no problem with E71.

GSM Arena,
Glad you've started reviewing BlackBerries! I'd now be quite interested to see what your stance is on the Pearl.
Of course, it doesn't do as much as the others, but it's a nice elegant neat little phone.
I'd be interested to see how compromised the web browsing is in particular on such a small screen. I'd be tempted to get one if this was deemed ok...

> In reply to comment @ 2009-04-11 05:04 from kV%u - click to readI dint agree with you there... The E71 is a great phone yes, had one myself, im using the Curve 8900 and love to go for the Bold, just somthing that atracts me to the phone. To et to the point, NO nokia will ever come close to a Blackberry! Not even the E71. I am a ex nokia freak! Get yourself a Blackberry!

i own the BB Bold.
this is a very nice phone, really.
my only complaint is the lack of video-call camera and FM radio.
:(

I've been using my Bold since October last year and I only got small problem with it like restarting once in a while but with the coming of OS 5.0 with bold, I hope it will resolve all the small problem.

I am trying to decide between The Bold and The Storm. My main uses on the phone would be web-surfing and some e-mailing. Is the big touch screen and finger scrolling better for this? I am aware of some of the problems that this has had, but believe that firmware updates are sorting them out.(I also like the gimmick of a touch screen though) I really like the look of The Bold and like a physical keyboard. What should I do? Any help is appreciated!

it's funny that you guys say in the review that the OS is more stable on the nokia e71 than on blackberry bold, i got a bold, and it has never re-started
you guys just might have used an old OS, cuz the latest .247 is quick, stable and the battery last much longer

Well, better late than never, they say...
BTW, I see many requests for a Backberry Bold review and I am surprised to see so many retar*s complaining now. You don't HAVE to read it, you know.

No excuse for the lateness of this review! The Bold has been out nearly a year! A YEAR dammit!!!
Camera sucks on E71 also by the way, perhaps more so.

Typo:-
Page 1 :
Key features:
2.4" 65K-color TFT landscape display with a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels.
Page 3 :
Display - 2.6 inches of pure quality
The BlackBerry Bold 9000 is equipped with a 2.6" TFT display of HVGA resolution (320 x 480 pixels). That's a 3:2 aspect ratio, as opposed to the 4:3 format of the Curve 8900.

People don't you ever think that they just fill the database with reviews of important phones, phones that they missed. Do you want GSMArena to have complete database with all brands, models, galleries and reviews???????
That's why is this review. It may not help you, but it may help others in the future. And certainly there were people actually asking for a Bold review. Just read the comments on the previous BB reviews.
If you decide to buy the popular phone X and open gsmarena and then found it has no review (because they missed the timing at some point, then decided its too late), won't you be angry because it has no review?
And instead to be happy that the reviews LISTEN their readers and make hard work to support the database with more and more info, they just cant's stop to complain. But that's human nature - they don't see any good, just the bad (timing in this case).
