BlackBerry Bold review - Audio and video player

The beautiful design of the audio and video player of the BlackBerry Pearl already amazed me. Let alone the multimedia player of the BlackBerry Bold. In particular when playing video files, where the large monitor shows to the fullest, the quality is superb. The built-in speaker delivers sound of an astonishing quality and if desired, at high volume. The BlackBerry Bold 9000 supports many file formats, even Divx.

 

 

BlackBerry Bold smartphone test - Microsoft Office files

The BlackBerry Bold includes business functions such as displaying Microsoft Office documents. Word, Excel and PowerPoint files can be opened and viewed with the BlackBerry applications, Word To Go, Sheet To Go and Slideshow To Go. The preinstalled versions only allow you to view the documents. If you want to create a new document or adjust an existing one, you have to switch from the standard version to a paid premium version.
