If you swear by RIM's BlackBerry handsets and Apple's iPhone 3G didn't manage to lure you, you'll be pleased to hear that the BlackBerry Bold will be available to T-Mobile's business customers in September.

Bold, BlackBerry's upcoming flagship handset, will be available from T-Mobile UK as part of its new Business 1 price-plan.

The handset features a 624MHz mobile processor and a 480x320 LCD screen. It offers tri-band HSDPA 3G support, and Wi-Fi (802.11 a/b/g) connectivity. Memory comes in the form of 128MiB flash memory plus 1GiB encrypted on-board memory, though, a MicroSD/SDHC expansion slot allows for memory cards of up to 16GB.

Facing a growing threat from Apple's iPhone, Bold looks set to be RIM's most signficant launch to date. We're expecting other carriers to offer the handset in the very near future, but does it have what it takes to stem competition from Apple's hot-selling handset? We believe the QWERTY keyboard, coupled with Apple's MobileMe calamity, will make BlackBerry continue to appeal to business users, but which handset would you choose?
