Today we are going to review the BlackBerry Bold 9650 Smartphone. The Bold 9650 is the newest edition to the Bold series. The Bold series is known for their high-end performances running on BlackBerry OS 5.0. The 9650 has a 528MHz processor with 512RAM, which is expandible up to 32gigs. The Bold has a TFT 2.44 (480×360) inches, and features a full QWERTY keyboard with a optical trackpad. The Bold also has OpenGL support for 3D graphics. The Tour and the Bold are relatively the same size even though the Bold has more features. The phone has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, and Bluetooth version 2.1. The 9650 has a 3.15 MP (2048×1536) with autofocus and LED flash. This phone sells for $699.99 to $899.99 for the unlock version.
In my opinion, this phone is just alittle bulky and thick. The screen quality on the phone is not that great, I would rather see an Amoled screen thats about 3inches. With the market running with apple, windows mobile, and android, this phone needs a better processor to compete. Also this phone needs a higher internal memory at lease 2gigs.
I think the phone is great if you are a business man and don’t really care about videos and games, and focused more on work.
