'The BlackBerry Bold 9780 is a safe phone, based on a trusted model (the Bold 9700), and anyone that’s looking for reliability and ease of use will not be disappointed with it. '
'The BlackBerry Bold 9780 is quite a stylish phone with a design which is very similar to the standard BlackBerry QWERTY. '
'The back is rounded and feels comfy in your hand, plus it sports a matt finish that is relatively good at what it´s supposed to do, i.e. prevent the phone from accidentally slip out of your hand.'
'We found the phone stable and well-behaved overall and we’d guess the firmware is reasonably close to release candidate status. '
'The phone also offers various shooting modes (Single shot, Self shot, Beauty, Smile shot, Continuous and Panorama), scene modes and camera settings like exposure value, timer, white balance, resolution and effects. '
'Slim.'
'The phone measures 122.4mm x 64.2mm x 9.9mm (4.81in x 2.52in x .38in) also comes with the Swype virtual QWERTY keyboard for quick and accurate text input, ThinkFree for opening and editing Microsoft Office 2007 documents, and a cradle that lets the device double as a photo frame, alarm clock, calendar, or music station. '
'The large 4-inch Super AMOLED display delivers unrivalled screen quality, with less reflection, free viewing angles and super-fast touch-response. '
'QVGA resolution which is now not enough for a high-end phone.'
'the new tilting display does, perhaps, make it easier to read data from the screen while the unit sits on a desk, and certainly should help when it comes to watching videos on the device.'
'The keyboard has white backlighting, which looks somewhat uneven.'
'This is attractive and comfortable to hold, but there is concern that it will discolor, or worse, degenerate from heat or over time.'
'The phone was able to take a 4GB Kingston microSD card to hold music and video, and it comes with Roxio software that automatically transcodes your videos into a format that works on the phone.'
'A few dropped calls when switching between Wi-Fi and GSM'
'Expensive.'
'For those who are technically minded, UMA works only with GSM and it's technically not VoIP as are SIP services.'
