Blackberry Megatron Shock & Awe 9000
By BankersBall on May 12, 2008 in BlackBerry
Actually it’s called the Blackberry Bold.
For all of you iPhone haters out there, get ready for this summer. Blackberry is coming out with an iPhone contender — the Blackberry Bold (or Blackberry 9000). The phone will be available likely in Europe sometime this summer and carried by AT&T later this year in the US for about $300-$400.

Features
- Full QWERTY (users reportedly hated the idea of a touch screen)
- Trackball with mouse-like functionality
- Basically works anywhere — GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA, also 2100/1900/850) UMTS (3G data) phone (first BB to use HSDPA, or high-speed downlink packet access, which supposedly amps up delivery)
- Faster processor — Intel XScale 624 MHz
- Built-in WiFi, GPS
- 1GB of memory (expand up to 8GB); 128MB of flash
- 2MP camera/video with 5x zoom and flash
- Dual stereo speakers, headphone jack (also stereo)
- Screen with 480×320 pixel resolution
- 4.5 inches x 2.6 inches x .5 inch
- 4.7 ounces
- Can sync with iTunes
- Can view mobile or full HTML versions of websites
- Overall, and iPhone-like appearance with black exterior, “leather-like” back cover (can be replaced by blue, gray or red cover) and satin chrome frame
An early reviewer says the 9000 feels generally smaller than the 8- series, while Blackberry Curve users may have to adjust given that the Bold is heavier.
