Though the Bold isn’t RIM’s most innovative handset, it is however offer “3G, a glossy new UI, a real web browser, serious hardware and an almost beautiful body.” Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery. Here’s the bottom line from this BlackBerry Bold review:

If you’re a BlackBerry fanatic, yes - it really is the phone you’ve been waiting for, if you’re not hoping RIM radically changed the recipe. Because they didn’t. It’s cleaner and brighter, but it’s not an overhaul by any means.
