BlackBerry Bold Unboxed with Barely Controlled Enthusiasm
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 3:38 AM on August 25, 2008
CrackBerry has a video unboxing of the BlackBerry Bold from Rogers, showing it side-by-side with other BlackBerry phones as well as the King iPhone. No real surprises here, as the Bold hasn't changed since our hands-on, but it's always nice to see a shiny new gadget emerge from its cardboard home. [Crackberry]

Can I be as rich as him please? Apparently the web browser on the bold is deadful.

@tdeyoung: or maybe one person out there isn't completely biased and perhaps accepts the fact that one device may not be the worlds best at everything.

Think he sits in bed at night playing with his little blackberry while his girlfriend sits in bed thinking to her self "I can't believe this is my life?" Or maybe he killed her when he found out she bought a white iPhone 3G, hence its appearance in the video? Hmm..

iPhone is a power house for a multi-media device, blackberry is starting to get into that category as well. but there main focus always and still is email which it's KING supreme in.

Nice piece of kit!!!! I like how he un-boxes, no f-ing around. I do, doubt he "BOUGHT" all those skins, but I wish everyone would unbox like this!!! people spend WAAAAAYYYY too much time on talking about the packaging etc.
And quit already with the iPhone is better, and blah blah blah. I have an iPhone yes, but this is still a beauty!!! It's personal preferences and an argument no one will ever win because of that! DUH!

Interesting, the supplied headphones/headset looks like it might actually be half decent!

Does he have a condom as well? so he doesn't accidentally jizz all over the thing. My god this guy loves blackberrys (blackberries?).

Just had my 2nd 1st Gen iPhone die in a year. I'm hoping AT7T gets the Bold in the next few weeks as I have no desire to get a buggy 3G iPhone. Especially as bad as my 1st Gens have been.
The iPhone is cute, but I hate the touch keyboard, make way too many mistakes and it's too slow to type with. Not to mention the battery life is horrid.
Nice unboxing video. To the point and no fluff.

Man, those things are UGLY. Not that our local little Nokia makes any better looking ones but... like... geez? I've always been more into Sony Ericsson and Apple when it comes to design. Luckily those two are way nicer to use as well when compared to S60 (the S must really mean "Slow") or Windows Mobile.

I may be a Mac-olyte but even I know that the Bold is a better smart phone than the new 3G iPhone...Sorry Apple, RIM has been doing it longer and better than Any one!

@fatASCurtis: What blasphemy is this? You know, I wouldn't come to your church and spit on your icon. You should just bow down and kiss the ground that the iPhone walks on. It's sent directly from God Jobs himself.
