We’ve been waiting to get our smudgy digits on RIM’s BlackBerry Bold seemingly since before the Earth’s crust finished cooling, and finally, Canada’s Rogers Wireless lent us a hand. In a few words, the screen is striking, size is actually pretty comfy to hang on to, the keys are fairly easy to use, and we’re kinda digging it. As a quick refresher, the Bold has tri-band HSDPA, quad-band EDGE, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, 1GB of onboard memory, and a 2-megapixel cam that can take advantage of the GPS for a bit of geotagging tomfoolery. The integrated media player seems to get the job done with a pile of supported formats — including DivX, some support for XviD, H.264, MP3, WMA, and a bunch more — the OS 4.6 looks slick, and have we mentioned the frickin’ screen? We’ll be back right quick with a deeper dive into the Bold’s capabilities, but for now, enjoy the pics.
