Let me start out by saying I’m one of the many iPhone diehards that parade around the interwebs… in truth, I’m using an old Motorola Razor with the battery taped in and 1/2 the screen blank due to some drunken mishaps involving tequila .

With that over and done with, the new Blackberry Bold successfully achieved nothing in terms of advancing on the iPhone market. Despite the camera being 2 megapixels (which is still trash by camera standards) and the retention of their keyboard, I’m not seeing the big deal about this lil gadget.

From US News.com:

A new hand-held joins the BlackBerry family, but we’ll withhold the oohs and ahs despite the “Bold” name. The phone appears to be a good step forward—and not much more.

The Bold essentially soups up earlier BlackBerry models, adding a higher-resolution screen that has some reviewers singing its praises. And Kevin Micaluk at CrackBerry.com has a gushing review of the phone’s look and feel, having scored one off eBay. The phone doesn’t officially go on sale until this summer.

Besides its sharp screen, the handset works on high-speed data networks and includes Wi-Fi networking, both pluses. The camera captures a hefty 2 megapixels, and the media player syncs with Apple’s iTunes software.

Meh. No touchscreen, no dice.
