PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless Puremobile.com sent us in the BlackBerry Bold 9000 for a review. This is a heavyweight model in the smartphone area that's meant mostly for business, but how well an unlocked Blackberry phone really works? Is the Blackberry a phone that you really want to buy unlocked? This is what this review is going to investigate.

This is the first BlackBerry review I've read where the reviewer actually seemed surprised by things like the BlackBerry data package and magnetic sensor.

On T-Mobile US at least, the basic BIS data package is the same price as the regular smartphone data package. It provides you with BlackBerry internet proxy and push email service, as well as standard TCP connection if you configure the APN correctly...Opera Mini, Google Maps and GMail work well on my BB.

As for the magnetic case sensor... my Pearl 8100 has that, and it came out over two years ago.

So other than the obvious inexperience with BlackBerries, great review!
