The BlackBerry® BoldTM smartphone is all about power. Its battery is designed to be the most powerful in the BlackBerry® arsenal. And, when its 624-MHz processor connects to the High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) network, it can deliver emails and connect to the Internet fast enough to keep pace with even the most hectic day. In addition to faster downloads, HSDPA compatibility allows users to engage both the voice and data capabilities of the smartphone at the very same time – imagine the efficiencies of taking a call on speaker while responding to email. And all of this is supported by the proven suite of BlackBerry push email technology and Personal Information Manager (PIM) tools and a screen resolution and technical design that amaze the eye.

The BlackBerry Bold smartphone also delivers on the mobility promise associated with the BlackBerry brand. In addition to being able to connect to GPRS, HSDPA and GSM EDGE networks, users can also connect to their BlackBerry data service, the Internet and corporate networks using Wi-Fi®. The built-in GPS capability of the BlackBerry Bold smartphone also allows users to access navigation tools as well as various location-based services.
