The official announcement for the BlackBerry Bold, or the BlackBerry 9000, just dropped in a press release from RIM. The BlackBerry Bold is RIM’s first 3G enabled device. That in itself is worthy of such anticipation, but this device does not hold all this hype for nothing. This device represents a lot of firsts for RIM, some of them have been a long time coming.

The BlackBerry Bold features a lot of new and exciting features, such as a 480×320 display. The display is described as amazing. In fact, during the demo of the device, it kept coming up how bold and brilliant the display was. The name brilliant was tossed out the window, but Bold stuck. The device features quad band GSM and tri band HSDPA. This thing will work on most GSM and 3G networks around the world. The BlackBerry Bold, has one of the fastest CPUs found in a smart phone today. 624MHz of raw CPU power. This is double the power of previous BlackBerries.
