Blackberry officially announced their latest phone, the Bold (aka Blackberry 9000). The reviews seem good, but I still don't think it's going to do much to dent the iPhone reign although the display is reportedly amazing.

 

Here are the features from the Blackberry site: 

The BlackBerry® Bold™ smartphone embodies elegant design – without sacrificing the features or functionality you expect from a premium smartphone.

 

No compromises. With email, phone, IM and the Internet, it can connect you. With an integrated organizer, it can help you stay on top of your day. With camera and video recording, you can capture and share the moment with just a few clicks. And that’s just the beginning.

 

Do more — do it faster. Take advantage of the speeds available on the HSDPA network and the BlackBerry Bold smartphone’s 624-MHz processor. Multitask and prioritize with access to your voice and data services at the same time.

 

The fun goes with you. Enjoy premier image and video viewing, build playlists of your favorite songs and organize your media files. You can even use BlackBerry® Media Sync to transfer desktop iTunes® music files to your smartphone. Downtime may be rare, but the BlackBerry Bold delivers a wealth of entertainment.

 

Know where you stand. With built-in GPS capabilities, and BlackBerry® Maps, you get turn-by-turn directions, so you can pinpoint where you are right now and where you need to be.

 

Simple and straightforward. Lower your cellular costs and get service in areas where cellular network coverage may be limited or unavailable, with BlackBerry® data services over Wi-Fi® networks.

Wow, that looks so much different than all their other phones.

yech.

 

i'll keep my 8830.      

looks a bit bulky but i like how they have a keyboard. i wish the iphone had a keyboard. i'm probably in the minority on that.

Yea, I'd say so Daba... The iPhone keyboard rocks.

im with daba...iphone needs a slide out keyboard. i'd take a bulkier phone for that.

Omnis do u own a iPhone?

Slider phones are sooooo gay guys. Add a sliding keyboard and you basically throw sleek design out the window.
