BlackBerry Bold Coming to AT&T Mid-September


The BlackBerry Bold will be coming to North America within the month now that RIM (Research In MoThe Bold is RIM's first major BlackBerry model in more than a year. It offers twice the screen resolution of current BlackBerry models. The Bold matches the resolution, but not the size, of the screen on Apple's iPhone, which has emerged as a competitor in the smartphone market. AT&T said it will be the exclusive U.S. carrier for the Bold, as it is for the iPhone. Reports expect AT&T to start selling it mid-September and Rogers in Canada to release it late-August. Some stores in Canada have already unveiled store models and fliers. RIM had announced a summer release for the Bold, but issues with chips and battery life caused a delay. It unveiled the Bold in Chile on July 22 and in Germany on Aug. 6. The Bold features a glossy metallic frame with corporate Wi-Fi capabilities, 3G high-speed access and Bluetooth connectivity. Similar to the Curve, it integrates a horizontal screen above a trackball and a keyboard with one letter per key. The BlackBerry Bold (9000) is RIM's slickest, speediest, most powerful and most connected BlackBerry to date. Offering high-speed mobile Internet access using tri-band HSDPA networks, Wi-Fi and integrated GPS, the Bold also has twice the screen resolution (480 x 320 px) of the current BlackBerry Curve model, making for a very sharp display. Powered by a 624 MHz mobile processor and support for tri-band HSDPA and enterprise-grade Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g) networks, the Bold makes short work of downloading email attachments, streaming video or rendering webpages. It also includes 128 MB flash memory plus 1 GB on-board storage memory. A microSD/SDHC memory card slot is accessible from a side door. The Bold features a 2.0-megapixel camera with video recording capability, built-in flash and 5x digital zoom. The media player displays pictures and slideshows, plays movies in full screen mode, and manages the music collection.
