Loading ...A detailed, mostly physical comparison between the iPhone and the BlackBerry Bold. If you saw the Bold and were curious how thick, wide, tall, short, heavy it was, this is the article to read.
The gist of it is that the BlackBerry Bold is a bit thicker, has almost exactly the same surface form factor and the “scrunched” screen makes it a bit lack-luster for media playback unlike the iPhone that lives for it.
Here’s some deets for you:
