Product Overview

RIM's just unveiled iPhone competitor, the BlackBerry Bold, looks likely to be available on multiple 3G wireless networks in each of many world markets, a prospect that could potentially impact Apple's policy of setting up exclusive relationships for its own device with carriers such as AT&T for the US and O2 for the UK.

Offering support for high-speed 3G networks, Wi-Fi (802.11/a/b/g), and integrated GPS, the BlackBerry Bold features a glossy metallic look. It also provides much more memory than RIM's current BlackBerry Curve model with 1GB built in. With the Bold, RIM is matching the screen resolution, but not the screen size, of the iPhone.

Like the iPhone, the Bold will support full Web page rendering and sync with iTunes, at least for those with non-DRM music. It features a standard headphone jack and microSD slot for expanding the storage capabilities.

The BlackBerry Bold (formerly known as the 9000), however, isn't available anywhere yet, because RIM hasn't completed the carrier certification process. Pricing hasn't yet been announced, either.
