Blackberry Bold
This is the slickest BlackBerry ever. The Bold represents an all-new design, that’s also earmarked for the ‘Javelin’ , the next-gen Curve, due later this year.
The Bold draws its DNA from the existing Curve and 8800 series. From the former you get, well, curves – something to soften the brick-like shape of the 8800, which dictates more the actual dimensions of the chassis as well as the style of keyboard (something we’ll go into later). The Bold is however more elegant than the Curve, something you don’t notice until you put them side by side.
The Curve has exaggerated roundings at the top and bottom, while the corners are more angled than curved. The Bold has a slightly gentler slope on the top and bottom but far more fluid curves at each corner. And while the Curve’s cross-section is in fact that of a slab, the shape is de-emphasised by the Curve’s soft black side insets and the Bold’s rear panel arcs tapers in.
The effect of these flourishes is that while the Bold is larger than the Curve in almost every dimension, you quickly stop noticing the size differential one the Bold is parked in your paw. It sits in your hand almost like it belongs there.
The battery cover is a soft textured ‘leatherette’ material which enhances the hand-friendliness. A silver-coloured plastic strip runs around the circumference of the Bold, separating the front from the back panel. This is a common designer’s trick to make a device with a dark or black face look smaller, and it’s also something you can see on the iPhone.
