“The Bold N1 ticks many of the boxes we, and most users, find important. In 2019 that list includes big screens and batteries with wireless charging, 3.5mm headphone jacks, and hardware that should last us at least 12-18 months. Software should also be as current as whatever is available and we want support for as long as we plan to own the phone, particularly the bug fixes and patches. Oh, and we don’t want to spend much money for it, either. The Bold N1 is all of those things.”
