There’s not too big a difference between BlackBerry Bold 9000 and its older predecessors, except maybe for the leather-like compound of the back cover. The same ‘pie form’ so recognizable from afar and the same medium-sized weird display are still among the main attractions of the smartphone. Measuring 114 x 66 x 14 mm and weighing 133g (including battery), RIM proved that it could shorten the size of its devices, even though it kept the same form factor. The handset feels great in hand, but I have noticed that the back cover is slightly moving, like it’s not firmly fitting into its slot.
The right side of the smartphone features a dual volume key and dedicated camera key. On the left side there’s a lot of activity, which implies a 3.5mm jack port, a small miniUSB port, a dedicated Voice command key and a microSD slot. On top of the phone there a special button that locks the keypad, while on the button there’s a small slider that opens the back cover. The 2 Megapixel camera embedded on the back of the phone features flash and is protected by a wide metallic frame. The same metallic compound surrounds and covers the edges of the smartphone, while the back hood is made of a leather-like material that feels exceptional to the touch. The QWERTY keyboard features 35 keys, which have been wisely placed.
Still, the numeric keypad has been moved to the left side, which makes it a little bit annoying for left-handers. The keypad benefits from a great and even backlighting, which makes the use of the phone in dark areas perfectly possible. Between the display and keyboard there are four buttons common to almost all BlackBerry devices: Accept Call, Menu key, Back key and Reject call. In the middle, the famous trackball that make browsing through menus very easy.
