BlackBerry Bold 9780 Unboxing

Well packed, that's for sure. Say what you will about the BlackBerry smartphones, but there is no denying that they come with some of the best retail packages in business. The Bold 9780 makes no exception – it covers all the basics (a charger, headset and a microUSB cable) and throws in a few nice extra items on top.

You get a 2GB microSD card as well as a leather case. The high-quality case is a nice bonus.You can’t detach its belt clip, but it’s a nice case anyway.

The usual paperwork is also in the box, but that earns the 9780 no extra points.
