Blackberry Bold

[polishmike]

WiFi: None

i just don't get why they wouldn't have wifi. it takes almost no space and the speed is faster than any network.

[hamham3001]

i worked on that thing.. tested it n shit.. buy it, good shit

[M.O.A]

aw man i have a pearl too and i am seriously thinking about taking the jump to the bold...shit is epic

that new thunder business looks amazing too

anyone catch wind of a price tag?

the only one i could stand over a week was 8800. i'm cool with the iphone but the bold looks nice.

verizon hates wifi. personally, i never use it... ive never been in a situation where i needed it. my verizon samsung model supports wifi and it is permanently disabled. verizon's network is strong enough everywhere i've been so far... although i would foresee issues with the bb storm being worldwide and not always being able to depend on their network.... meh.

me and the wife cracked our respective iphones within days of each other. sucks for her cause she needs a new phone. i'm just sticking with my bberry.

on the storm, you copy/paste by putting your finger in front of what you want and another at the end of what you want and dragging the two fingers together.

WORD UP.

[onemancult]

oh what, iphone cannot copy/paste? SUCK MY DICK THEN.

[kunk75]

iphone address search sucks balls too.

new fone :

BOLD

been using it for over a month... overall its pretty good. i used to use a pearl, but got the bold when it came out.

the multi media functions, screen, speed, connectivity (3G, wifi, edge, etc) are better on the bold, but the damn thing is buggy. it used to randomly shut down and restart like once a day. i shut down the wifi and it seemed to fix that problem. but the screen is really awesome. and its waaaaay faster. the ui is better too.

if the pearl had wifi (well, the newer version does, but my old one didn't), 3G (for global roaming), the same screen, and the faster processor, i'd prolly take that.

Thunder is rumored to be 2 hundy with new contract.

I lost my first E71 within 2 weeks but it was good enough to buy a second time.

The aesthetics and interface are quite good and the slimness factore is a bonus. But if you're keen on 3rd party apps, BBM/G1 (google phone) and iPhone will have you beat for sure.

[onemancult]

all the reviews coming in of the storm's weird clickthrough touchscreen technology are positive, particularly when it comes to the keyboard.

ALL MY TECHDICKS ARE STIFF NOW.

[sbbbjm]

i work for Dell Business, and after having many, many engineering, architecture, graphic design firms etc complain about the horrible reliabilty and shotty quality of their products on top of the crappy support, i've really been turned off by Apple as a brand -- at least for computers.

if i don't get at least one client switching over to PC from Mac a week, its a weird week -

fixed it for you

[Caps Lock]

They keep pushing back the date for the bold. It makes me mad. Fuckers said I would have it by july. IS IT JULY NOW!? NO! ITS OCTOBER!

[ipp]

its kinda better theyre not rushing it out.. plus theyre probably getting all the bugs out. you'll end up with a better phone in the end.

My "inside source" says the Blackberry Storm will be available on 11/2 from the Verizon website and 11/16 in stores. While I'd like to get a Bold for the keyboard, I can't justify leaving the Verizon network for it. I'll be buying a Storm on the 2nd!

and the bold will probably come out the same week if not the same day as the storm

[onemancult]

the bold's got issues.

[snipez]

run a firmware update on the bold... a quick google will solve the solution.

day 1 i got my bold i updated it and i havnt had ANY issues at all... i love the device, and makes my iphone nothing more than a music player and gym notepad.

[will 1 am]

dropped my iphone twice and the screen is fucked.

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

my screen basically shattered from a fall from nipple height....=/

[Knugget]

Anyone fucked around with the Storm simulator yet?

[onemancult]

i've hit the storm simulator. shit just made me want the phone that much more, especially after hearing such good things about how the screen works. i was wary

about switching from winmo to bb OS, but it seems ive got all my bases covered...

sms, mms, email, googlemaps, googletalk, light web-browsing...

i just realized, i really hope my bank of america mobile banking works with the bb's browser. will have to check that out once theyre in stores.

[RaymondChiu]

should work? just probably have to enable javascript optionz

[JL77]

Been waiting for the release of the Storm since rumours of it surfaced. This will sync up nicely with my 'new every two' deal on Verizon. Hope it applies.

[keagan]

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.

I, keagan, hate this human being

treo where @kjkkkjhjikl;jlhkgl

[yea!]

damn, bold's fuckin up? i want one badly. hoping i can flip my 1st gen unlocked iphone for a bold (probably w/2 yr contract).

t-mobile is still going to get them right? how do BB plans usually run?
