For many years the Blackberry had been the only smartphone on the market, and no one really used it for personal use. With so many manufacturers introducing their own smartphone, it was become more common for individuals to own a smartphone, and lately more specifically a Blackberry. Once RIM began to offer smaller versions as in the Pearl and the Curve, interest in the Blackberry grew. The introduction of the Blackberry Bold is changing that even more as there are so many features going into this model that have never been on any Blackberry phone in the past.
For the business sector, the changes to the Blackberry Bold are not that critical. Most of the “firsts” that RIM has added to the Blackberry Bold are primarily ones that would be used for personal use. The upgrade to the support for Microsoft Office is definitely a first and something that will be a great advantage to business users. With Documents on the Go it is possible to view Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents almost exactly as they would appear on a desktop. There are also upgrades to email capabilities that allow the user to read longer emails on the display screen, thus improving the communication between user and personal or business contacts.
Blackberry Bold is larger than its predecessors yet it is still lightweight enough not to create a problem. In spite of the smartphones that are being developed by other manufacturers, many businesses are still more content with Blackberry because of its longstanding use in the business world. The use of Blackberry in business is certainly one we can see when you hear it mentioned in novels that involve employees who travel for business. Though there are other smartphones today, one does not hear about them except in advertisements.
One reason commercial customers tend to stay with Blackberry is its long-standing record of reliability. Though personal users may be willing to try something new, businesses are less likely to do so. They are very stuck in their ways and not likely to change anytime soon. Take the two-way for example-other carriers now have this mode in place, but most business users still use Nextel because up until a few years ago it was the only carrier that had two-way capabilities. Commercial customers tend to be very loyal to their product line and are less likely to change than anyone else.
Blackberry Bold has not yet made a full entry into the mobile phone market, so you will have to look for a Blackberry Bold review from those areas where it has already made its mark. We should soon begin seeing mobile phone deals and thus have more information on the Blackberry Bold and its full line of features and how they work. In the meantime you can still rely on your faith in the Blackberry’s quality to make any decisions regarding the purchase of a Blackberry Bold until more concrete information is available by the end of the year.

I know I can open attachments and read documents. But is there any way to file those documents (Word or Excel) on the Blackberry for easy retrieval later (I know I can file them in e-mail folders but I am looking for some kind of document folder instead). Is there such a function on the Blackberry 8830? (I also know there is software that will do this but I wanted to see if the native phone has this function at all)
