RIM announce details of the BlackBerry Bold

16:05 Mon 12 May 2008

Madonna and Guy Ritchie will be wetting themselves today with the news that RIM have announced details of its new BlackBerry, the first tri-band HSDPA 3G handset the BlackBerry Bold, which will be released this summer.

The BlackBerry Bold features integrated GPS, 802.11, a/b/g Wi-Fi, 1 GB on-board memory storage as well as a 16GB microSD/SDHC card slot, built in Bluetooth 2.0, a 2 megapixel camera with video capability, a built-in flash and a 5x digital zoom. But alas there seems to be no space for the tweezers and toothpick on the Swiss Army Knife of wireless hand held devices.

So, it's looks as if it's time to resort to email only contact with all of your 'CrackBerry' mates, as they attempt to cultivate their 'berry blisters' by whipping out the BlackBerry Bold and frantically writing to all of their other friends whenever you meet up in person.
