Photos: RIM gets Bold with BlackBerry By Natasha Lomas, silicon.com May 16, 2008 URL: http://www.zdnet.com.au/insight/hardware/soa/Photos-RIM-gets-Bold-with-BlackBerry/0,139023759,339289059,00.htm
The explosively popular BlackBerry has recently had a new incarnation: the BlackBerry Bold. Will it be an iPhone killer? Check out our photo gallery and decide for yourself.

The Bold has a shiny black face and curved silver edges — but unlike Apple's iPhone device however, it does not have a touchscreen interface. Instead a generous QWERTY keyboard with sloped keys for more accurate typing takes pride of place. There is also a trackball scroller and additional navigation buttons, and the graphical user interface offers a tiled grid of clickable icons which are scrolled through via the trackball. The device packs HSDPA — RIM's first 3.5G smartphone. Credit: Natasha Lomas 
The Bold is 114mm x 66mm x 14mm — slightly thicker and wider than the iPhone, and like Apple's smartphone, it has a 2-megapixel camera. Credit: Natasha Lomas 
The screen is 480x320 pixels — a high-resolution display which RIM reckons more than makes up for the lack of a larger, touchscreen display especially when other factors — such as battery life and cost — are factored in. Here the Bold is shown running a Matrix trailer. Credit: Natasha Lomas
