Blackberry Bold

[KyleFall]

Does anyone have any experience with this phone? I currently have a Blackberry Pearl 8100 but it's becoming old news (it makes me feel like a 16 year old girl) and I want an upgrade. If not this phone, is there something better that can email and is available in Canada?

[sunkenshoes]

Ayo, let me cop your old one for mad cheap.

[ProfMonnitoff]

If you let your decision get influenced by who has the phone, just FYI, John Mayer uses the bold.

I heard it's a great phone though.

If not this phone, is there something better that can email and is available in Canada?

Either this or the Nokia E71... on Fido I think.

[BAGUETTE]

It looks a little bit cliche.

Pearl has the best design, I have just lost mine ;'(

[sean2slow]

Is Bold even out in states yet?

[Yuropean]

I have the Verizon world edition, not sure I want to upgrade to this...

[BEATRIDER]

pardon my ignorance but whats the difference between this and the curve? they both have the same silhouette no?

thanks in advance.

**EDIT**

okay obviously the bolds way better...in comparison.

[lawless]

I've got a pearl and to me the only difference between my pearl and the curve is the size. I'd say the curve is an inch (or half) larger than the pearl.

with that said I was messing with the phones on my free time at work and it just felt that one blackberry was the same as any other in the configuration.

Co-signed on the Nokia E71. A co worker of mines got it and I'm seriously thinking about getting it in a few months. You can check it out at BestBuy if they're are any in Canada-land.

why are we talking about this and not the storm/thunder? huh?

that phone, if it turns out as intense as it is seeming, is going to run my life FOR me.

i'm getting the bberry flip phone even though it looks like a motorola clamshell from 2003. need the flip.

[broneck]

edit - presumably legit.

[kunk75]

i think it's a mockup, but one is allegedly on the way.

[ipp]

No, it's coming out soon in like a month and a half.

its the blackberry storm, and coming to verizon.

It's funny to see them trying to keep up with the Iphone.

Even their commercials scream, "Hey look at us! We're hip too!"

[broneck]

I think they should be focusing on upgrading their business applications. The iPhone is for hip kids and graphic designers. The Blackberry is (or should be) for our parents and executives and etc.

[kunk75]

^what to do if you're a graphic design executive? hmmmm?

[lawless]

i like bold

but will wait for

touchscreen bb

a mac

is the only apple product

i'll ever own again.

bad experiences with ipod

and iphone

[kunk75]

dropped my iphone twice and the screen is fucked.

dropped my bberry upwards of 100 times and nothing is broken.

[lawless]

yea i know what you mean

it's not like i'm anti-apple but some of there products have quality issues that a lot of people seem to look over.

there is no brand synergy in technology.

[kunk75]

^totally agree. have had a mac for 17 years but no matter how cool, their ancillaries have been spotty of durability and reliability.

[onemancult]

the storm's specs make my dink hard.

[onemancult]

i've never been into BB UI though.... but the new version looks tasty, on both the bold and the storm.

[onemancult]

there are ads for the storm all over downtown right outside my dayjob.

[onemancult]

[Schmarker]

I fail to see how I can type emails quickly with a touch screen.

I don't have an iphone and haven't tried typing mad fast on one like I need to on the bb, can anyone shed some light?

[SENDkylHISPASSWORD]

I think they should be focusing on upgrading their business applications. The iPhone is for hip kids and graphic designers. The Blackberry is (or should be) for our parents and executives and etc.

all the 'hip kids' live and die by BBM.

Blackberry over iPhone for me any day,and I love everything apple does. The new ones look cool, but I'm too rough with my phones, so I'm perfectly happy with my curve as all I look for is email/talk/bbm
