Over the weekend, the Japanese version of the Blackberry Bold went on sale as a quad-band 3G device supporting the 2100, 1900, 850 and 800 MHz UMTS/HSDPA bands. The Bold is both functional and elegant in design delivering the best smartphone experience.

Information was kept away from the English press believing RIM’s omission of details might cause T-Mobile customers to start complaining about the Bold’s lack of of AWS 3G in the US. The phone and network option in Japan makes it perfect for the countries terrain. For those living in rural areas, the DoCoMo’s FOMA Plus Area network low-frequency spectrum is especially suited to navigate long distances and mountainous terrain.

Fallout from T-Mobile customers could be on the horizon, unless happy with just UMA. Weighing a mere 136grams (4.8 oz) the phone delivers an excellent features list. The Bold offers Wireless email, Organizer, Wireless Internet, Phone, Camera, Video Recording, BlackBerry Maps, Media player, Corporate data access, SMS, MMS and GPS. you can integrate your email with Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and BlackBerry Enterprise Server for Novell GroupWise while using up your 4.5  hours of talk time.  This is a mighty feat for DoCoMo.
