Photos: BlackBerry Boldly goes Qwerty over touch again

Can a high-res screen cut it?

The Bold has a shiny black face and curved silver edges - but unlike Apple's iPhone device however, it does not have a touchscreen interface. Instead a generous Qwerty keyboard with sloped keys for more accurate typing takes pride of place. There is also a trackball scroller and additional navigation buttons, and the graphical user interface offers a tiled grid of clickable icons which are scrolled through via the trackball.

The device packs HSDPA - RIM's first 3.5G smart phone.
