BlackBerry Bold Hands On (It's Great)
Tonight, we finally got our hands on the BlackBerry Bold, and it was worth the wait. You've already seen the UI, which yes, it's that snappy and smooth. The screen is nice 'n' crispy, if a lil' tiny for extended cinematic pursuits. But the real q: How's the browser? Damn skippy. It not only renders Giz correctly (a feat that makes most mobile browsers cry blood), it's fast (thanks AT&T), and zooming in and out with the trackball works pretty well. More »

AT&T BlackBerry Bold Delayed Until Mid-August
Okay, so the BlackBerry Bold doesn't even have an official release date yet, but Boy Genius's RIM spies (who have a solid track record) say that it's been pushed back into August, courtesy of "software issues with battery life and overheating," so AT&T hasn't certified it yet. But apparently it's just fine for Canadians. Color us red-blooded Americans blue. [BGR]

BlackBerry Bold on Video: My, My What a Pretty UI
RIM's video tour of the BlackBerry Bold breezes through each feature a little more quickly than we'd like—especially the browser, please show us it won't suck—but it looks more polished than the rough release we saw in action a month ago, with more color and silky smoothness. The interface is nice 'n' clean, entirely composed of soft lines—I think the only sharp thing about it is the screen itself. Definitely RIM's most exciting phone in a long time.

Canadian Carrier Rogers Getting BlackBerry Bold June 25, Way Ahead of AT&T?
Boy Genius is hearing that Canadian carrier Rogers is launching the BlackBerry Bold as early as June 25—a month or more ahead of the July/August release we've been hearing for AT&T in the U.S., where it has first dibs. We hope they're either wrong or AT&T's dropping it quicker than expected, since we hate it when the Canucks beat us at anything. BGR says nothing on RIM's end is holding up the launch. We can't figure it out—it's not like there's another big phone launching in the next couple weeks or anything that AT&T would want to clear space for. [BGR] More »

The 3G iPhone and the BlackBerry Bold are two of the most buzzed-about phones due out this year. And while we don't have any shots of the new iPhone, it's a safe assumption that it won't look all that much different than the current model. With that in mind, the folks from The iPhone Blog have taken a bunch of comparison shots and some video of the Bold and the iPhone together, showing us just how the two compare. Hey, I didn't realize the BlackBerry had a keyboard and the iPhone didn't! You learn something new every day. Hit the jump for the unsurprisingly-biased yet in-depth video and follow the source link at the bottom for the large gallery.

blackberry bold inspirations
While working on the W890i review, I came across a video of Brian using a Sony Ericsson W880i and found the icons to be extremely familiar. A few seconds later, I realized they bear a striking resemblance to those found on the recently announced BlackBerry Bold. And not that it's a huge deal or anything, but after BlackBerry's CEO insisted on it being three years in the making and not a response to anything, I find it a bit odd that the Bold shares commonalities with two phones released in 2007.

BlackBerry Bold Also Inspired By Sony Ericsson W880i, Evidently

RIM Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis, who was hating hard on touchscreen keyboards last time we heard from him, took the defensive on the BlackBerry Bold's iPhone-esque aesthetics at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium, saying that the Bold "wasn't a response to another device.... This was actually designed three years ago and the actual physical design of this product—I have the original models from 2006." Syncing to iTunes aside, Mike, I take it that this would be your response to the iPhone then? What do you guys think? Update: Changed the picture to live shot comparison, rather than renders.

John Mayer Cheats On Apple With Blackberry Bold
Jesús has been doing a rash of John Mayer / Apple stories lately, for I don't really know what reason, but you guys seem to care about it a lot more than I do. Here's another: a Blackberry Bold, which is an interesting sign in terms of taste making and trendsetting by the guy who usually chooses all things Apple. More »

AT&T Confirms First Dibs on BlackBerry Bold
AT&T told our friend Sascha at PC Mag that it would be the first carrier to sell the new BlackBerry Bold. Others may very well follow this year, and judging from the fact that the hardware specs include room for T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon, they most certainly will. AT&T also said that it's got exclusivity on international 3G usage—Sprint/Verizon's EV-DO isn't as universal as AT&T's HSDPA—and the ability to use the BB in Japan and South Korea. [Gearlog]

They said RIM's BlackBerry 9000 would be formally announced on the 12th. They said it would be called the Bold. Photos suggested that it would be the sexiest thing to come out of Canada since Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy. And they wuz right. Boy Genius says it'll be available this summer on AT&T 3G, with a T-Mobile 3G edition in the wings—the handset can handle 850/1900/2100Mhz for HSDPA/UMTS, plus T-Mo's 1700MHz band. Sascha at PC Mag is reporting a CDMA/EV-DO version as well. Jump for more details like that 480 x 320 screen—and giddy tittering—from sources all around the web, plus the official press release.

Is the BlackBerry 9000 Really Going to Be Called BOLD?
And Lo, it came to pass that, after the blessed angel RIM announced the arrival of the BlackBerry 9000, pointing its followers to a May 12 launch, there came a tumultous cacophony of sound from the masses, who wanted to know if the smartphone was going to get a catchier name, like its sisters, Pearl, and Curve. And the angel RIM paused for a moment and said, "Verily, I say unto you that, from henceforth it shall be known as Bold." And with wailing and gnashing of teeth, the followers rent their garments and, smiting their breasts, said, "Bloody Norah, that sounds more like a washing detergent." [Crackberry]
