The BlackBerry Bold is a line of smartphones developed by Research in Motion. The family was launched in 2008 with the 9000 Model. In 2009 the formtoc factor was shrunk with the 9700 and the Tour 9630. In 2010 RIM released the 9650 and 9780 refresh with OS6. In 2011 came the 9788 and 9790 along with the current flagship - the 9900/9930 series. The 9900/9930 and 9790 are touchscreen smartphones, released in August and November 2011. The Bold family is known for its distinctive form factor; efficient, finger-friendly QWERTY keyboard, typical BlackBerry messaging capabilities with a distinctive, more premium keyboard than the Curve series. The Bold series is usually more expensive and has more premium materials (eg. leather, soft touch, carbon fiber, metal) unlike the curve (plastic, glossy), and has much better specs. There are two basic form factors with the Bold line, the original larger size on the 9000 and 9900 Series and the "baby bold" form factor the other models have. All the familiar BlackBerry applications are available on the Bold: Documents To Go and Breakout clone. The Bold also offers new or updated applications for BlackBerry Messenger, WHERE GPS, and Mobi4Biz (Source: [|BlackBerry Bold] )

RECEPTION
The Blackberry Bold has generally been positively reviewed by critics. In 2008 Bonnie Cha of CNET rated the phone as "Excellent" and praised the phone's screen and multimedia capabilities. However, she did not like the bulkiness of the phone, and notes that it has poor web browsing navigation. Among the problems she had with the web navigation were terrible YouTube playback, due to the phone's limited support for video formats; a clunky interface for functions such as bookmarking; and unintuitive browser design in general. However, she mentioned that the bulkiness would be greatly improved by Blackberry OS 6.0. (Source: [|BlackBerry Bold])
