BlackBerry still seems to be finding its way in this ever consumer-centric, touchscreen-dominated smartphone world, with its latest touchscreen option, the Torch , getting a mediocre response and the company recently slipping out of the top five smartphone manufacturers worldwide. Thankfully a classic black version is also available. A small patch of faux leather adorns the back providing a nice soft, tactile feel. However, as with the Bold we would rather a return to the full leather back of the original Bold as it both looks more striking and protects even more of the chassis.
Nonetheless, this is a phone that feels well made and comfortable to hold for calling, typing and general navigation duties. Never one to shy away from having plenty of buttons, BlackBerry has given the Bold a suitably comprehensive selection. Up top are buttons for locking the screen and pausing music and muting your call not, however, muting the phone overall, which is a bit strange , while the right houses a volume rocker and button for the camera.
There are also countless keyboard shortcuts at your disposal making it really easy to get to loads of features in double quick time. The scalloped individually mounted keys feel secure and responsive and the layout is excellent. Two metal pads sit in the bottom corners of the phone and are there to make contact with the charging points on compatible charging docks. Among the few things that distinguish this phone from its predecessor is its camera that has been bumped from 3. The real world difference is subtle at best with shots still generally soft and lacking in detail compared to a proper camera.
Nonetheless, with autofocus and an LED onboard you can generally get a nice enough shot to capture the moment. The same applies for the non-HD x video, though the limit of only 24fps does make movement a little jerky. Above the keyboard sits the screen, which measures a relatively paltry 2.
This pales in comparison to the 3. Helping is the sheer quality of the screen. Particularly with its redesigned interface it just feels so backward to have to scroll round using a trackpad to select menus items when a simple prod with a finger would get you there in double quick time. What makes this even worse is that the optical trackpad on the sample we reviewed was a bit temperamental, being unresponsive one minute and flinging the cursor wildly across the screen the next.
Joining the trackpad in the central navigation cluster are buttons for Call, Menu, Back, and Call End. They all feel responsive and are nice and large for super-easy navigation.
Running on this phone is the latest 6. Putting aside our already noted desire for a touchscreen and issues with the trackpad, the OS does feel very nice. At the very top is the general info section showing time, date, battery status and such like, which when clicked on brings up a menu with options for adjusting Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Network, Alarm and various other settings.
Tap it and it extends to reveal a full chronological list of all your messaging updates and calendar appointments. Next up is the apps folder carousel. But camera is so poor at that time. Other options would be to try exporting your contacts as VCF file or you might have to text or e-mail each one if all else fails.

Of the 1 reviewer who responded, 1 would recommend this product. The phone worked on arrival but was originally set to Spanish language mode, which was easy enough for me to correct but could be a challenge to others. Next it had some sort of additional software installed which flashed a Movistar emblem on it.
This was something i did not wish or pay for. But the real problem was that it had was that it couldn't pick up the virgin network. After hours on phone and at the store with the virgin reps we established that it wasn't a faulty sim card, but something with the phone itself, either it isn't unlocked as advertised or it is simply defective. I have had this phone for over a month now.
