BlackBerry Bold first Look

May 21 2008, 10:33pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

RIM introduced the BlackBerry Bold a week ago. We already reported about a BlackBerry Bold hands-on preview from a meeting. Howard Chui now has a review of a pre-production BlackBerry Bold published.

Quote: "The plastics used in the Bold feel a little cheaper than the 8800’s. One difference though is that the Bold will have a leather back (or so I’ve been told - the one I have is just regular plastic). The Bold’s also slightly lighter which makes it feel less substantial. Their footprint’s are about the same, though the Bold has more curves."
More details and photos on Howard Chui. The iPhoneBlog also just published some photos comparing the iPhone with the BlackBerry Bold. More about the BlackBerry Bold.
