BlackBerry Bold Smart Phone Series

BlackBerry has introduced a wide range of its BlackBerry Bold smart phones. The Bold mobile phones were introduced in late 2008 and since then they have attracted a lot of customers. For the past two years, BlackBerry introduced an updated version of its Bold smart phone every now and then; now those have been replaced by the new BlackBerry Curve phones.

The BlackBerry Bold phones were the first phone in the Bold line-up. This phone had a wide body and some nice features. The phone had a round edged and slick body. The QWERTY keyboard was flat and square in shape. The keys were very roomy and texting was found to be easy. The screen was big and pretty wide, compared to the other BlackBerry mobiles; and the display was very vibrant and sharp, thus the name. The Bold’s display screen was considered to be among the best screens on a smart phone at that time. The mobile had a 2-MP camera and a video player that gave a very high quality viewing experience that awed many at that time.
The phone was a bit heavy and was hard to carry in a pocket. It had a leathery textured back, so it was easy to hold it with a firm grip. The design was such that it looked stylish while holding, but due to its broadness, it was harder to get a nice grip, especially for people with small delicate hands. The mobile phone came in different colours, but some special editions were released as well. This included the BlackBerry Bold Black and BlackBerry Bold White OEM.

After than the above stated smart phones, BlackBerry started a whole series of Bold mobiles. The series was known as the BlackBerry Bold 9000 series in which the BlackBerry Bold 9700 was a very successful phone, as there were some changes brought in by the company. The Blackberry 9700 was highly appreciated by consumers for its new design and upgrades; although a few critics said that BlackBerry was unable to reduce the masculinity of the phone which affected the priorities of many female users.

All in all, the BlackBerry Bold series was pretty successful. Kudos to BlackBerry for bringing up the right time and never allowing the interest of the customer in the Bold series to diminish. Now BlackBerry has improved its Blackberry Curve series phones and has started a whole new series with them as well.
