With its large screen, fast internet connection – with both Wi-Fi and HSDPA – camera, sophisticated media player, GPS and much more, would be the BlackBerry Bold seems the profile fit an iPhone challenger, but this discussion is largely irrelevant – the two could be in different markets, and while the iPhone is a good entertainment station, the Bold is the one who means it. It makes business look good though – all seriously stylish black and chrome with a leather-look back, that they should stop slipping Town boardroom tables (which seem a touch shaky these days, textured).

Like the best business phones, the Bold will help you work quickly and efficiently, with a minimum of effort.
