Review : Blackberry Bold 9000

Like most people I'm very aware of the existence of Research In Motion (RIM) and their <b>BlackBerry</b> products. This is the first time I've used one in anger, and I'm pleased to say it's not all hype!

RIM kicked off the whole push email thing, when only pin-striped business types owned its oversized handsets. Now that everyone is muscling in on its territory, though, it's having to put a lot more effort into its hardware.
