    05.30.08 Happy Mother’s Day Happy Blackberry Day. Millions of Blackberry users will undoubtedly be clammoring over the news of the new 3G Blackberry Bold (aka: the Blackberry 9000), featuring quad-band EDGE and tri-band HSDPA, Wi-Fi capability and GPS. Rolling out on AT&T’s 3G Network this summer, followed by T-Mobile, the Blackberry Bold will be powered by a 624MHZ Intel processor, have 1GB memory with expandable microSD memory card slot, 2 megapixel camera, bluetooth 2.0, and 480×320 resolution LCD. For the fashionista Blackberry users, an interchangeable backplate will undoubtedly assuage your customization and iPhone envies. Multimedia features include MP3, WMA, AAC, DivX4, WMV3 and a set of speakers that bely their size (we’ll see). Gents, feast your eyes on the new corporate addiction.

    Recap on BlackBerry Bold

    Our mobile world is once again stirred up with the most awaited handset from Research in Motion (RIM): BlackBerry (BB) 9000 series, where it has came from a long way back from when it's still a rumor in the wind. I remember Sammy once has posted about the most rumored 9000 series, here at Palm Addict. But now it has been officially named Bold. There have been plenty of news & reviews covering BB Bold when it's first announced, and our own Palm Addict's iPhone Editor: Paul Biba also has made a piece about it here at PA. So without further ado, let me add some more infos to the already mentioned full specs of BB Bold: Quad GSM band, possibly there'll be a 1700MHz version for T-Mobile's 3G networkTri-band 3G up to HSDPA data transferphysically taller & wider than the Curve with 4.5 inches tall, 2.6 inches wide, half an inch deep, and weighs 4.7 ounces (around 133gr)480x320 pixels of brilliant display with 65K colors, but still no touch-screen624MHz powered processor, while no certainty yet on which processor are: Intel or Marvell?BlackBerry OS 4.6128MB flash memory1GB on board memory (with AES256 encryption)microSD expansion slot up capable to support 16GB cardWiFi 802.11a/b/gBluetooth 2.0 with A2DPBuilt-in enhanced & assisted GPS2M pixels camera with 5x zoom, flash & geo-tag photos (using the GPS)3.5mm stereo headset jackDataViz's documents support to read & edit Microsoft's Office docs, but not for Excel spreadsheetStandard battery of Li-Ion 1500mAH, that's still not juicy enough if used for 3G connectioninterchangable leathered textured back panel into blue, grey or red colorsculpted full QWERTY keyboard keys that are seperated by curved barriersvideo player support play various formats such as MP3, WMA, AAC, DivX4, XVid, 3gp & WMV3the video capable to play 30 frames per secondstunning and loud built-in speakerprice range from US$300-500, depending on the carrierfirst carrier to launch it is AT&T this Julyadditional iTunes sync capabilitypossibly future Flash support in its BlackBerry OS web browserHotmail and Windows Live Messenger support including push emails, realtime sync, full HTML, file transfer, customize status message, view avatar, display images, and use emoticons.IBM's Lotus support for calendar, instant messaging, Lotus' dashboard, portal components, Cognos Go business intelligence software and social networking. Pheew... if those above features are not make you wanting for the Bold, then consider these side dishes incentives:RIM launched VC Fund up to $150 million to support companies that develop apps and services for BlackBerry. Meaning, there'll be plenty of 3rd party softwares available in the future. RIM is now offering a free program called BlackBerry Wallet, designed to help you store your personal information in an easy to access fashion. Just grab it at here or go directly to BlackBerry's mobile web site. Garmin is offering lifetime GPS navigation service on a BlackBerry handset, for only US$100!! But you're not allowed to transfer it to another or new BB handsets, so it stays only for one registered BB; but for good. And if you're confused on choosing between iPhone or Bold for your next ultimate mobile phone, then you might want to read on Sascha Segan's (PC Mag) article: The iPhone is No BlackBerry. He has great insights on comparing both phones, and he's got a good point saying: "The iPhone does hurt RIM in its quest to expand its customer base to consumers, beyond its corporate core. Both are smart, both are nimble, and both have strengths. And as long as Apple is shackled to AT&T, RIM has a head start with most of North America." Good luck on drooling over the new BlackBerry Bold, it'll be fun to watch how it's going to face off directly with iPhone 2.0 after its release on July or June this year. Or perhaps, you're waiting for the touch-screen BB 900 series a.k.a. BB Thunder? In the meantime, why don't you watch the hands-on BB Bold video clip below and maybe it'll change your mind... ;-p Sources are from various websites on the net. [blogged with my Treo 750v]

    DataViz, WES & The BlackBerry Bold

    This was an exciting week for BlackBerry users and developers alike as WES 2008 was another huge success for the RIM world. Most of our WES team is at home recovering from a busy week today, but next week we'll hopefully be able to share some video clips, pictures and some thoughts/impressions from our WES folks. The big announcement at WES was no doubt the BlackBerry Bold, RIM's latest and greatest BlackBerry device. There's been plenty of discussion about specs and first impressions of the device; I'll include a few links at the end of this post if you want some more info. We're excited about the Bold too as it will be the first new BlackBerry to ship with Documents To Go included! From RIM's Bold press release: With this powerful new smartphone, users 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 on the handset using the preloaded DataViz® Documents to Go® suite. Danny Tu, Documents To Go Product Manager at DataViz, gave WES attendees a first look at Documents To Go in the Demo Theatre on Tuesday. If you couldn't make it to WES or if you missed the demo don't worry; we'll post the video early next week. Want to be among the first to know when Documents To Go Premium Edition is available?
