Boy Genius has landed a
BlackBerry Bold -- RIM's big, splashy push into the brave new world of HSDPA -- in production hardware trim, and it looks like the rougher users out there might need a quick lesson in fragile handling if they want to get in on the action when it launches around the world in the next few weeks. The screen is said to be absolutely beautiful (as it should be at 480 x 320), and there's a much improved browser to take advantage of that extra real estate; unfortunately, the whole package apparently scratches up with ridiculous ease, so it's anybody's guess just how long you'll be able to actually see the screen before it's awash in damage. Just remember: keys in one pocket, BlackBerry in the other. Interested parties would do themselves a favor by clicking through to the full review -- the cat knows his BlackBerrys, and he's really gone to town this time around.

Did BGR just go down? The server is unresponsive.
Kinda seems that way.
Maybe he is using the Apple servers from over the weekend?
yeah i can't onto his site...i just thought it was me cause apparently engadgetmobile can get to his site...
FINALLY!
the link is up for me. but i had to go to intomobile.com and then go to bgr from there.
Cool.
I am a teensy bit excited about the Bold, I have to admit. I already have an iPhone, but it's not a business professional's handset, yet, anyway. I'm not trading, hell no, but would be useful as a work phone.
Disappointed by the scratchiness of it all.
