If you're looking for a new phone, you must have come across the Blackberry Bold 9900. This is one of Research In Motion's high-end handsets. However, you may notice that the phone looks similar to just about every other handset in RIM's lineup. This being said, you may be wondering if it's just like most of the Canadian firm's smartphones. Will it be comfortable on the hands?

When it comes to the phone's design, it is larger than the 9700 by comparison. It also seems that RIM has chosen to go back to the design of the original 9000. The bottom line is that this handset looks similar to every RIM handset out there.

In terms of the phone's feel, it comes with a metal band that wraps around the phone's frame. Unlike previous versions, the all plastic outer shell makes previous models feel cheap. The metal band around the frame actually gives the phone a classy feel.

In terms of weight, the phone weighs in at 130 grams. This is slightly heavier compared to the 9790. However, it is still light enough while resting on your hand. This means that the phone is ideal for typing using either one or two hands. If you're using one hand to type, it does not feel cumbersome.

Like other handsets on RIM's lineup, the Blackberry Bold 9900 comes with a physical QWERTY keyboard found below the display. This allows users to enjoy the convenience of having physical keyboard when needed. This is ideal for typing documents, responding to emails, and replying to text messages. The keyboard is also optimized for chat. Since all of Blackberry's handsets come pre-installed with the BBM, this keyboard will allow users to easily type using either one or both hands.

When it comes to handling, the Blackberry Bold 9900 is the slimmest phone in the company's roster. It is only 10.5 mm. This means that the phone will never feel bulky unlike other handsets the competition has to offer. It will be easier to hold or put away when not in use. You can even put it away easily in your pocket.

Overall, this smartphone is easy to handle and is comfortable on the hands. It can be used by either two or just one hand. It does not feel cheap like previous model due to the metal band that gives it a classy feel. This means that using the Blackberry Bold 9900 will be effortless.
