If you have a Blackberry Bold, then the release of a new OS (operating system) is exciting news! If you do not, check out our review, you may find yourself wanting a new phone. Visual Voicemail, the ability to switch between 2G and 3G, and a more smoothly running operating system are just a few features you will get to enjoy.
Many Blackberry users are awaiting the release of the highly anticipated 5.0 OS. We don't blame you! However, for you Bold users, this new OS might tide you over until the projected December 2009 release date.
The addition of Visual Voicemail for the Blackberry Bold is right on time. Maybe you are not familiar with this feature, or you think it is nothing special. Think again! Have you ever gotten a voicemail that you don't feel like listening to, or just don't have the time? Now you can navigate around it and select the next voicemail. This feature on the Bold is a great addition to the phone.
Many Bold users complain of a short battery life. Well, the ability to switch to 2G solves that problem. If you are not in need of data and voice capabilities at the same time, switch to 2G. It is as simple as a few clicks. You won't be reaching for your charger if you use this feature well.
We know you want the new 5.0 OS, but you are going to be waiting. When the new Bold is released in October, it will include the new 5.0 OS. However, those of you with the older version of the Bold will be waiting until December. If you decide to upgrade to the new Bold, head over to http://www.cycledcells.com and sell your old phone. You might be surprised what you get for it!
