I hate the Iphone and love blackberries so that's the end of that

Looking to win a Bold.

Thanks,

I still want a bold...oh and He needs to cut his finger nails. Those aren't crackberry thumbs..those are crackhead thumbs. I kid I kid

I am an unoriginal person. I don't even like blackberries enough to come up with a decent response to these articles. In fact, I'll probably just sell the Bold on Ebay. To summarize, "I want a Bold".

I just summed up 60% of round-robin responses.

Rene's video proves iPhone users tend to be a different, lazier breed of people than those that are BB addicts.

He is pretty good with the keyboard, no way he can enter data that fast on the iPhone.

I wish the Bold was available with T-mobile 3g, I would be all over that.

I was impressed with the review. Go figure! Anyone who can make me laugh while trying to pinpoint differences has earned my props. I'm still a Crackhead, but I wouldn't rule out an Ah Frak Phone as a secondary device.

I enjoyed the review that much.

hahaha great review. PING!!! you have messages. I wish the bold would come to VZW soon! If not i may have to make the jump!

A what you'd expect rather canned review. Seems to be the kind of person who likes to play on his phone rather than get some work done. iphone is perfect for him.

And now we know who prefers typing on a touch screen...

It always seems that this will be a battle to the end when it comes to Ilovers and BB lovers!!!

Lol, Kevin i think this Rene guy might be as entertaining as you... By far one of most entertaining Blackberry introductions I have ever seen..

I think Rene did a good job of an initial review. It is definitey a different animal compared to the iPhone. It will be intersting to see how he does with the Bold after a week of use. :-)

i want it!

Rene's review had a lot of personality...way to go!
He loved the physical keyboard! take that iPhone!

The little pop ups were sort of annoying, that aside he didn't seem to have too many negatives. Having used the iPhone I much prefer the Blackberry experience. That is probably due to the fact that I don't use my phone for media much...

I love the Bold. I have been a proud owner for about 3 months now and couldnt live without it. I would love to win one for my wife!

Iphone=toy

Blackberry=Tool

People that use iphones?=Tools using toys! ZING!!!

He Liked the Keyboard! Very surprised to see an iphone man admit a qwerty keyboard was good.

So I can have two :]

My son uses the iPhone and swears by it. I've used it and know I prefer the Curve. Now, a Bold would be nice.

At least he admitted how amazing the keyboard was on it.

After using both BB's and ISmudge's, Blackberry's RULE!

Really wanting a Bold!

I cant wait to hear how the Iphone crowd feels about the bold... maybe they will COPY AND PASTE from somewhere else...

There's no way that you can't enjoy a BB Bold!

I wish my curve had wifi.

after viewing the vid, it soldified the fact that crackberry users are true addicts! unlike iphoners whom are slittly lazier and prefer simplicity wheres crackberry addicts are effective/productive multi-taskers! I've been waiting long and hard for the 8350i to come out but would easily drop providers if i get the BOLD!!!

It was an interesting look at the bold from the eyes of one who loves the iphone. I think that in the end his biggest complaint will be the lack of touchscreen.

I think he was pretty fair, I can't wait to see his full review.

As much as he tried to make the bold look bad it was obvious that it was still a good product. Just admit it's a matter of preference. Type or touch.

A few off points, with the fake button comments and the lack of spell check, as I'm sure Rene realized after a lil bit of usage, but overall great review looking forward to the final thoughts, I'm betting it comes out as a classy review, will it sway him from the iPhone...no but I'm sure Rene will have gained a lil more "respect" for the platform.

good review,still madly in love w/ the Javelin but it could be a toss-up now cause the Bold has already been released in the US. Not sure if i can wait much longer...

But after a few months of using it it just wasn't so great anymore. The best part of it is the games and I am a gamer so if anything people could just get an iPod Touch. I'm new to the BB ways but so far my love for it continues to grow.

Bold is a nice phone but for $100 less I can get an Iphone. Free bold would be awesome though. US

o i bet hes jealous!! iphone cant touch da bold

Wow that video seemed long.

this guy is annoying and his review is an utter FAIL - Iphone's suck so yeah- the Snideness of apple can only be beat by Google- MABYE

all i can say is i went BB -> iPhone 3g -> BB in about 3 weeks ..

Still want a Bold!

The iPhone is nice and all but it has alot of groing todo. It's like a rookie runningback, he's fast and quick but he needs polish and experince to truely dominate every game. Some never do!

I like the Round Robin series....and I'd like to win a Bold too :)

I went from the Curve 8310 to the iPhone 3G back to the Curve and now to the Bold. IMO, the best is the Bold, followed by the Curve, then the iPhone. I just wish the Blackberry browser was better. That's the only thing I liked better in the iPhone. Everything else Blackberry does best!

BlackBerry rules!!!!!!!!!!

Every body loves the bold ...

the bold beats the iphoney hands down any day..

Still it is the ahh f*** phone. Berry is my buddy forever!

Rene is a pretty fair reviewer. I think it's really hard to dislike the Bold. It's just incredibly competent at everything you need a PDA to do. As many apps as Symbian, WinMo or even now the iPhone? No, but it comes with more out of the box than any of them. You don't need very many apps, really. The Browser is quite good. The screen is awesome, none better. The keyboard is as good as any if not better. Push e-mail is terrific of course. What really, is there not to like?

haha the fake button comment was funny... those are for the charging pod... silly iPhone fanatic

interesting, reminds me of eddie murphy

Seems like Rene is liking the Bold! He just needs to learn all the shortcuts. It took me a few months of putzing around and then reading the manual and blogs to start using the built-in shortcuts.

Children use iPhones because it's multimedia focused, and adults use blackberrys because it is business focused, but can do multimedia when needed.

internet ate my witty comment, so here's a short bland one...

Fairly typical initial impression. Every device has a learning curve when you are used to something completely different. I think he'll get the hang of it.

Rene, there are also keyboard shortcuts for scrolling! Check out the BlackBerry Help function. It's actually....helpful! ;)

Please delete my 3 duplicate comments. :(

Darnit.

.

leave the apple fanboys to their device. They're just concerned with playing movies and music, right? They dont want to be productive =)

but how do you REALLY feel?

;)

Does replying to this enter me to win or do i have to enter in the forum?

Interesting.......but a good review I guess....

Bold.....good

Iphone.....bad

Nuff said ;-P

At this point, I'm just in it for the free Bold.

Make this Apple Fanboy a converter!
He knows he's hooked on the BlackBerry!

wanna win that bolddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd crossing my fingers!!!!!!!!

I gotta admit I had a big kick out of his random message inserts..

YOU HAVE Laundry..

Hes not a fan of a keyboard...

I think after a weekend of use he will like it more then he does now.

This is my only post. I would really love 2 win a bold.

I only wish Blackberrys had Shazam. That is one of the coolest apps on the iPhone.

I love the fact that one of the most important things to him (like other iPhone users) is games. Cause thats why people get smartphones for the games!

BB fo life!!!!!!!

cool.. I love the sarcasm. it's the most entertaining review I've seen yet.

seems like the initial criticism is 'it's not an iphone.' that's ok... one of the main reasons I like my bb is that

it's not an i phone

his review was definitely one of the more entertaining reviews!
"ahhh let me go, let me go" HAHAHA apparently he's not used to just a trackball...lol

"A what you'd expect rather canned review. Seems to be the kind of person who likes to play on his phone rather than get some work done. iphone is perfect for him." Really, what more needs to be said?

I have become a blackberry fan. No more WM or iPhone..

The BOLD is great, I want one!

Hm, good review! The fingernails were killing me though!

i don't really got anything to say since i am new to the bold and everything, but so far i am liking the phone

Nice video...makes me want a Bold of my own

yummm love bold videos

I can't wait until the final review. I didn't get much from this one. I hope he gives it a fair chance. The Bold is a truly amazing device. Oh, how I wish I had one. *Sigh* (No offense, Curve. I still love you.)

Nice review. He's a little quirky, but far more entertaining than the treo central trick. You have to be really animated in this videos or else they can drag along real slow.

Gotta love the BOLD. I am still waiting to get the BOLD ASAP if I don't win.

I don't think he hammered it too bad so far, he could work the phone better if he knew more short cuts like hitting R to reply to messages! The iphone does tend to lean toward the fun side with all the apps and stuff, the blackberry is still a bit of a corporate device. I still wouldn't give up my curve for an iphone!

nice review by Rene, in for one bold please!

I have just got my first blackberry eve. it's a curve 8320. And I love it sooo much!

http://www.passedarmes.wordpress.com

I have to admit, the iphone is a fun toy, but when it comes to getting business done, gotta go with a blackberry.

The iphone is great for games and "time-wasters", and honestly I wish RIM would implement a few more fun things into their devices, but 9 times out of 10 when im looking at my Curve its to check business emails and texts.

I work for a major video game company thats even developing games specifically for the iphone, yet when my company gives out a corporate phone, it’s a BB Curve 8310. I think that says a little something.

And I also agree that all you people just saying, "give me a bold" on all these round-robin posts aren’t real Berry fans. At least say something relevant to the article

Wow!That Bold sure did have a nice clean screen not having to put your fingers all over it every time you wanna do or type something on it, haha. I liked the blackberry claw/Bruce Lee comment, kinda funny, but make all the jokes you want, you'll never pull me away from my Crackberry.

I'll wait to post my reaction/feelings after the full review, but for now I'll just take a phone.

...so i could share the blackberry love with my big bro!

Haha great review!!

iPhone, nahhh... B BOLD

iPhones are nice, but BB rule!!!

I want a Bold! But no Bold for telus

I'd like to see what a fellow iphone user has to say about the Bold.. I've been wanting to switch back to the blackberry.. but there have been some barriers in my decision.. such as being able to type in korean, large screen browsing and movie watching.. but the bold offers me my bbmsg again.. and keyboard.. and push..

If i have both!!! hrm..

1.the ultimate keyboard.

he said he "liked" it. I don't see how anyone could like to type on a screen... well maybe at an ATM.

2.the back button.

he wished for on on the iphone.

3.the flash.
he addressed Jobs on the flash that has some how been left of of the iphone.

blackberries are the shiznittle!

but he is right about the PIN messenger... you can't say "i didn't get the message."

yeah a free bold, sweet

My favorite part is how he makes fun of BlackBerry's push messaging capabilities--as if getting messages right away is a bad thing. With the iPhone, you get messages ... eventually.

And if you'd rather dig through all your different inboxes to figure out whether you had a new e-mail, SMS, Facebook notification, missed call, voicemail, chat message, or appointment notification, you can always turn off selected alerts on your BlackBerry. On the iSmudge, you don't have much choice.

Just goes to show yet again that the iPhone is for people who want to use their communication device primarily for playing Mario Kart...

I bet Kevin is happy o be almost done.

....It was a good preview.

Not a bad video!

A BOLD would be nice...my Pearl is tired.

Just checking in today.

dont even lie, you know it kicks iphone butt!

good review

the bold

the bold

The BB the best BB EVERRR

I like your reviews better, but I guess he went pretty easy on us for Round 1

read above lol

That was brutal!

I don't think anyone posting here, DOESN'T want a bold :]

Entertaining review but I have say that after using both phones extensively and waiting months before making a decision on a phone I went with the Bold. A month later I couldn't be happier. If all I wanted to do was play games all day then the iPhone would be a no-brainer. Bold makes so much more sense on a day to day/productivity standpoint. Both are great phones but for very different reasons. I say let the kids have their toys--I am sticking with my Bold.

I've used both.. the iPhone 3g and the Blackberry Curve. I'll take the Blackberry any day. Your video first impression was that of any new Blackberry user. Before knowing all the different shortcuts and such the device does seem awkward. But the very fact that the iPhone cannot accept a backup battery or expandable memory.... ??? Why would anyone choose the iPhone for day to day business/personal use?

Bold!

I've been so big time disappointed that TMO is not getting it and then I was going to settle for the curve but now......maybe I'll get it :)

The more I watch these things the more I wish Verizon had the Iphone. My BlackBerry seems so awkward to the Apple users!

Though the iphone is a cool device it is not a great phone. Blackberry is still the best! I'm an 8310 user for about a year and its time for a Bold!!!

got an iphone3g, want a bold

So here's yet another post 2 try 4 a chance 2 get me a free Bold!!! C'mon hook me up!!!!!

so fed up with palm treo 755p (been using palm since palm V). desperately fighting the temptation to get a curve 8330 and wait for the new bb niagara for sprint!

And that's why I want one! Funny video though.

Worst Round Robin first impressions yet, was he trying to be funny? i seriously didnt get it

i NEED a bold ..

not sure what was up with the popups.. one thing is for certain, blackberry is a serious phone with excellent capabilities.. iphone is a toy for kids...

bold
