The Bold is a bit bulky and expensive. The Web browser isnt as easy to navigate as the competition.
The BlackBerry browser lags behind the competition in terms of usability and features. You can only download apps to the phone's main memory.
The screen is rather small for a phone hitting the market in 2009
The camera could have been better
The software hasn’t changed all that much and is still not user friendly

Lacks an FM Radio

It honestly is the best BlackBerry ever. There is no other choice — it’s the Bold. Plus the Bold spoils you. We cringe at the sight of our friends using Curves now. From the screen..
Abstract: This might be a shocker out there to many, but we do actually, you know, not leak things from time to time. What’s important here, is that we’ve been rockin’ a BlackBerry Bold for around a month now, and we’ve got a great handle on the unit. From hardw...
