Top 5 reasons the BlackBerry Bold 9780 kicks ass

When it comes to messaging there are few devices that can hold a torch to RIM's ever-present BlackBerry, and the latest iteration of their Bold range, the 9780 is their best device yet. It offers everything you could possibly want in a device and more to boot, but for all of its virtues there are things that it does better than others and these are the features, which make the device really stand out.

Here are five good reasons to make the BlackBerry Bold 9780 your next device.

Construction
You know what to expect when you buy a BlackBerry, you get a durable device that you can depend on and that's one of the main reasons that the little messengers have been so loyally used over the years. While other manufacturers are bringing out new marquee devices with huge touchscreens (and minimal battery life) and other quirks and baubles, RIM has stuck to the fundamentals and again produced a tough, easy to use device in the 9780.

Keyboard
If you're a person who relies on your handheld for staying on top of your e-mails it's likely that you've already got a BlackBerry, as they are, quite simply, the best in their class. With the Bold 9780's keyboard you get the usual responsiveness and feedback that you've come to expect from the Canadians, meaning that you'll find yourself typing at near touch-type speed in fairly short order. The gently rubberised keys feel soft to the touch and ergonomic shape adds to the premium feel and comfort. Staying abreast of your communications just isn't a chore with the 9780, it's a pleasure.

BlackBerry E-Mail
BlackBerry e-mail hasn't become the benchmark without good reason. You can set-up up to 10 e-mail accounts to be processed by RIM's own servers, which afford you privacy and security thanks to industry leading encryption. There's no battery-draining sync schedule either as the messages are pushed directly to the device as and when they're received.

BlackBerry OS 6.0
RIM launched the Bold 9780 with the richly re-designed version 6 of their hugely popular operating system, BlackBerry OS. It includes numerous enhancements, such as the vastly improved Webkit browser and Universal Search functionality which enables you to find anything on your device by simply typing the first few letters of its name. You'll also find all of your social networking feeds integrated in one place, making it easier for you to stay up-to-date with what your friends and family are doing.

Media
The Bold 9780 comes complete with a 5 mega-pixel camera with autofocus and a dual-LED flash, which is the most capable shooter RIM have ever included with one of their devices, and its capable of impressive results. You're also treated to support for the most popular video formats, such as DivX, XviD and WMV which should make it easy to keep yourself entertained while you're enjoying some down time. The 2.4-inch screen may be small but it offers excellent colour saturation and pin-sharp visuals, allowing you to enjoy your captured media in all its glory while you're on the road. In short, the BlackBerry Bold is no longer all work and no play!

If you're looking for a practical device that does it all, you need look no further than the BlackBerry Bold 9780. It's small, fast and does everything that you need a smartphone to do and you'll find plenty to amuse you once you're done being productive. Large touchscreen devices are nice but when it comes down to the business of messaging you don't want to be stuck without your BlackBerry.
