+ The product is great ! The keypad is so easy to use and the menu is set out simple.
- The only bad point is the battery life is quite short !

Score 9.0/10+ I think that this blackberry 9000 is really really good on pretty much everything except 1 little but very important thing I cannot send or receive anything using my bluetooth when I try and belive me I've tried on a lot of mobile phone's inc.. The new IPhone + my Nokia N95 also could use a better camera the one in it is fine though these day's you'd expect at least a 5 megapix camera for a phone such like this one but not to be. I can see the photo's fine but can be better but it has everything else down to perfection .
- As above camera could be better and need to get the bluetooth fixed so it can send and receive anything

Margaret, London , “Music and entertainment lover”
Score 8.0/10+ All round, in terms of internet access, instant email, messenger service and the ability to download applications easily, make this phone ideal when on the move.
- Personally, I was unable to set up my instant email service once I received the phone and some of the applications that I downloaded were not responsive. Also the battery life is very poor, I literallly charge it for two hours everyday!!!

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…
