If you’ve been anxiously awaiting the moment you get to put your hands on the BlackBerry Bold, you can now at least get a good look from every conceivable angle of the latest handset offering from RIM. Engadget Mobile has put up several unboxing photos to heighten your anticipation.

Coming from Rogers, the BlackBerry Bold seems to have a vivid screen and the handset fits comfortable in your hand. The keys are logical spaced and it’s all in all easy to use. This is one hot little smartphone, that’s for certain.

And in case you’ve forgotten the specs already, here’s a bit of a reminder:

the Bold has tri-band HSDPA, quad-band EDGE, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, 1GB of onboard memory, and a 2-megapixel cam that can take advantage of the GPS for a bit of geotagging tomfoolery. The integrated media player seems to get the job done with a pile of supported formats — including DivX, some support for XviD, H.264, MP3, WMA, and a bunch more

Yeah, if appearances were everything, I’d say this one hit the nail on the head.

If you’re in the market for a new bluetooth headset, you should definitely consider the BlueAnt V1 Voice Control Bluetooth Headset. And though there may be other options on the market with slightly better audio quality, this one wins because of its intuitive voice command abilities.

But before you go out and buy it, you should know a bit more about it. For instance, this headset has a non-replaceable Li-Ion battery that will stay charged up 200 hrs in standby mode and provide you with 5hrs of talk time. It measures 41 x 17.5 x 11.2mm. Some of the features include a multifunction button and LED lights for volume indication. The multifunction button must be pressed before you enter any voice commands.

The voice command technology is called BlueGenie and you don’t need to learn a complex set of keywords or codes to get the headset to perform any functions. Rather, speaking normally will do the trick. For instance, if you say “check battery” the device will report back how much charge you have left.

Other features include a MicroUSB socket and Bluetooth v2.1 support. The BlueAnt V1 will cost you $129.99. If you want to read the full review on this model, be sure to head over to SlashGear and check it out.
