The vast majority of us are still waiting to get our hands on the BlackBerry Bold, but that doesn't mean it's too soon to learn how to take your baby apart! The good folks at CNN.cn put together the BlackBerry Bold dissassembly video above. And we do mean disassembly. Right down to the wee bitty bits, and there's no putting it back together. Enjoy!!

...got one yet, and here they are taking one apart! Oh my goodness...

The display has no housing, so no more dust between the front bezel and the display... =)

i agree with navi , i cant even get one, and they're tearing theirs apart! i wanna see the video of them putting it back together! i bet i could take a nuclear missle apart, but putting it back.....i'd probably have a lot of extra pieces!
Kevin Michaluk Aug 20, 2008 at 2:09 pm

Does anyone know where to find an extended life battery for the bold, I am new so I hope this is in the right place

Thank you so much for this. l watched it about 10 times and then proceeded to do it. Your video gave me the confidence to do it myself and now my phone works as good as it did brand new. And for the record, you don't need sound. You just watch...Very nice and thanks.
