Are you curious as to how it compares to your current device? If you do then there is a huge pile of comparison shots comparing the BlackBerry Bold to 10 different Windows Mobile devices over at WMExperts .
Of course the first one I looked at was the comparison of the Bold to my Motorola Q9m (which incidentally has become my device of choice because of it full range of capabilities). WMExperts had an interesting discussion on the possible downsides using a NOC (Network Operations Center) to funnel all of your email and applications. It is a good read …. worth looking at.
So now if you are really interested in knowing more about the BB Bold, there are several worth looking at over at CrackBerry.com’s Review Series on the BlackBerry 9000 which can be found here.

Three factors contribute to the 9000’s onscreen sex appeal:
