Score 9.0/10+ Excellent phone with an all round appeal.
- Battery life is disappointing so recommend purchasing a spare battery

Great push email, which is really easy to use. The OS as a whole is really simple, no lag time etc.
The browser is much better than expected too - no iPhone beater - but the best non-touch browser.
The facebook's app integration with contacts is pretty amazing as well.

The battery life isn't fabulous - I re-charge daily. The camera at 2mp is a little blurry, though the flash is useful.
When you restart the reboot screen is pretty scary and last a long time! A good 5mins of blank screen!
Other than that - perfect! :D

Score 8.0/10+ Ever since I've had the Bold my life has changed. I could access my emails on the move, I could read the latest updates and news on the go and i could browse the Internet whenever i want to. Web browsing is great on the Bold and google latitude is fun to use. Apart from that I explored making my own theme and enjoyed that thoroughly. Overall a good buy.
- Battery life could be improved upon. 2megapixel camera is also not very great because pictures uploaded onto facebook look quite blur.

Emma, Raglan , “Basic text and chat user”
Score 6.0/10+ Looks fab, nice size keyboard, roller ball is good, screen is good size and clarity it good
- Not very versatile; only links to certain wifi, very flakey. Usability is not the best. The white background for most of the email, sms, tools look very archaic!

Sophia, Glasgow , “Basic text and chat user”
Score 10.0/10+ This phone is ideal for someone who needs to keep track on thier emails. I personallylove this phone for texting as i find it easy and i love the texting feature as it allows you to see what the person you are replying to has previously said. I justlove this phone it looks good , it has the best apps 10/10.
- The only bad point is the batery life. I have to charge it every night. If i stay elsewhere ie;my boyfriends house and forget my charger im totally without a phone for the next day.

Battery Life.
you can extend it by buying a new battery or turning WiFi and Bluetooth off. But you will need to charge over night for decent use folowing day.

Expert reviews for BlackBerry Bold 9000
TechRadar expert review
With its large screen, fast internet connection ‚Äì using both Wi-Fi and HSDPA - camera, sophisticated media player, GPS and more, the Blackberry Bold would seem to fit the profile of an iPhone challenger, but such talk is largely irrelevant ‚Äì the two are aimed at different markets, and while the iPhone might be an excellent entertainment station, the Bold is the one that means business. It makes business look good though ‚Äì all seriously stylish black and chrome with a leather-look textured back that should stop it slipping off those City boardroom tables (which seem a touch shaky…
