BlackBerry Bold 8900 Gets Unboxed

Monday, August 25th, 2008

It’s that time of year when the leaves start turning, the weather starts cooling down and new products are released before the holiday shuffle.  Enter the BlackBerry 8900.  The BlackBerry Bold has been released in our lovely neighboring country Canada (up der first, eh?) and has been a hard item to get our hands on.  Not necessarily because the launch was so magnificent that people were turned away, but because of the stores that received shipment of BlackBerry Bold only received a few of the devices.  Weird, I know.  Anyways, we did find a good hands-on video review of the BlackBerry Bold from CrackBerry.com and wanted to share with you the love.

And don’t stop the video short you iPhone lovers … it does an iPhone comparison at the end that is a “must-see!”
