nothing beats the berry.....

I Love the Bold, but I have had the worst experiences with AT&T. I will be sticking to T-mobile from now on. And with the Javelin coming soon, I will be very happy

cant wait to see this

I love the Bold!!I think this will be my next bb

in the AT&T store near me. it was my first experience with one and I have to say its very nice. I like the feel of the keys alot, and while the actual OS was locked down [AT&T password protected it], the trackball had a very nice, crisp action. My only complaint is the combination of the logo button and the back button into one rocker key. While it does make sense from a design and use standpoint [most people don't press them rapidly in an alternating pattern], I just don't care for it.
Glad to see someone else like it during their first experience.

but I really like her review of the bold and seeing that beautiful thing in action really makes me want one! It seems everyone has at least a few loving comments about the bold.

I can tell that she really liked the look of the Bold, like she was holding a piece of technological wonder in her hands. Interesting review...I can't wait to see the others.

Well, I think I may wait for the Storm with my provider. But thanks for the review.

I want the bold so badly, what a great phone...in the hands of the proper user ;)

Has anyone seen at around 7:58-8:00 of the video...fast forward to it as it is the best/funniest part :)

Blackberry's are THE best!!!!

I'm sorry, I did not like this review. Reviewer sounds like one of those nice people who refuse to dog anything when reviewing it. She made no conclusions either way at the end.

While I'm sure she's a nice lady, she doesn't come across in this review as a smartphone expert. She comes across as a "phone of the day" consumer. No review of using the calendar, getting things done, or even the browser. Just "Look how pretty it is. I love the keyboard. The End"

Treo = 3
3 strikes your a Bold.

Got to test it out at the store. I can't wait to upgrade.

I would love to have one of these.

interesting

as a former treo user (going back a few years) the second i got my hands on BB i was hooked, I think this will be another BB user hooked after a few days with the Bold

Hey Kev did you noticed the way she was pressing on your screen i thought she was gonna break it! lol

Anyways i remember back then when the suppoused leaked images of the bold appeared on this site,, and how almost everyone hated the form factor, calling it ugly and unberry-like, and now one of its strong points is how good it looks, i think RIM really made an effort making the bold his flagship device everything about it screams quallity, im sticking with my curve for now but im seriously thinking upgrading for the bold.

HOTTTt

Jennifer tapping on the Bold's screen with her nail gives me chills. Make it stop!

BOLD!!!!!!!!!

BOLD!!!!!!!!!

If she liked the Curve last year the Bold should be enough to convert her this year.

sorry, with respect to the reviewer, that was one of the most boring initial reviews I have seen, she seemed like a complete novice...

Good review and all but Ill still take me a new Bold ovr the palm any day! Wink, wink, nudge.. nudge... lol

I'm still waiting for my Storm to arrive (FedEX says Monday), but it is still pretty clear to me that Blackberry is the way to go.

Bold for the win! I wonder if there will be a consensus of which is better for each user type at the end of this.

After having a couple Treo's (most recently 650) I'll stick
w/my BB

Please pick me to win the bold!

She's one of the many to mention the lack of a Today home screen. I believe once Today themes for the Bold come out, it's sales will increase.

I stopped watching when she kept smacking the screen.

The bloopers were hilarious haha!

I heard the bold is buggy though. I like the idea but I do better with a "real" keyboard. As long as it's a berry, you can't go wrong though.

I want my bold already!

Her hands are pretty. Where in the heck is she from?

Her hands are pretty. Where in the heck is she from?

Bold is way better.

My friend has a Treo, she said it was better than BB.

Comparing this Video Firstlook with Dieter and Kevin's, there was a distinct lack of critical analysis. I understand this is only a first look and not a final review, but I would have appreciated a more in-depth look at the Bold's features (ie. Calendar, E-mail, Browser).

And wow, I got the heebie-jeebies when she started poking at the screen. That's... just not right.

I love the southern accent!

I'm more curious to see her final impressions. If the Bold can't sway her, no BB will. From what I've seen so far, the Bold is definitely the best phone for me.

I think the Bold is the best Smartphoneon the market, hands down.

"What, what the crap! Oh yeah this is a... Non touchscreen device."

Nice Jenn!! So, Ummm...when are ya getting your new BlackBerry? :-)

Blackberry Bold= Best phone to ever be sold to the regular consumer

OUCH for the poor Bold when she stated poking at the screen. Where's she from anyway?? That accent she has seems vaguely southern, but not really.

she pecked away at the screen like she wanted to break it...lol wtf

eh im waiting for the version that has both touchscreen and keyboard

This is my third BB. I hate to leave the room without it. Let alone leave the house. My Bold & my Amex card go every where with me. This is the best smartphone out today. I haven't personally tried the new 'Storm', but from what I've heard & read on the forums the Storm is not turning out to be the be all, to end all BlackBerry. The Bold is Way above the rest.

The Bold is kicking butt

But I want the Bold so bad! I want a 3g Blackberry, and the bold looks so freaking nice. DAMN! I hate T-mobile now.

BOLD

bold back cover was really nice. what color is it?

Count me in for winning the Bold that would be sweet.

I am a total treo convert. Touch screens are cool but my Curve has made me sing the praises of RIM. Simply put my Curve is in my hand Treo 680 in a box in the back of the closet.

gimme gimme gimme...
pleaaaseee?

I checked out the Bold at Best Buy and it's the nicest BB I have seen, I definitley want one

hey i nearly shouted at the screen when she poked the screen at 2:39 on the video... shesh be gentle layday lol

Wow, I'm not a blackberry guy at all but it sure looks/sounds nice. Thanks for the great review.

she should admit that its the best smartphone shes ever held- if you read her bio on her website her newest palm she's ever actually owned is a treo 650 haha-

I got carried away when I was tapping the screen and cringed when I saw that on the video! Sorry about that!

I know that I didn't cover everything in my video review but I'll try to cover more stuff in my written review. That was only the second video I'd ever made. It took forever to make because I had to keep stopping and starting over.

The Treo 650 was my first Palm smartphone. My bio needs to be updated. I got into the smartphone game late and missed out on all the first ones.

I do love the Bold! If I didn't have to get a separate data plan, the BB plan, I would buy one. I wish I could just switch out my SIM card but I can't because my plan is the PDA data plan. I had to switch to the BB plan so I could do the review, but I'll have to switch back before I start using my Treo and Centro again.

I have no intention of giving up my Bold, but the Round Robin is great - I love seeing what people who usually use a certain OS think of others.

that should be a lesson to RIM, that maybe some type of keyboard/touch screen display with a trackball is needed...hmmm.

should we see something next year?

No a very indepth review - the only thing I learned is that a finger nail to a Bolds screen should never EVER be done, and that only boring people assign "Nothing" to one of the convience keys.

I LOVE THE BOLD AND I WANT ONE!!!

"only boring people assign "Nothing" to one of the convience keys."

I changed it to "Nothing" because almost everytime I picked up the Bold, I was accidentally pressing the convenience key.

I am boring though, thanks for noticing.

yeaa bb bold!! who doesnt love it?!

I really liked the video of the bold and all of its feature, as well as comparing it to other smartphones. I do like all the features of the bold, but ever since I got the storm, I don't know if I can go back to a non-touchscreen, physical querty keyboard blackberry. There would be too many times I would want to just go to a spot on the screen and instead of having the luxury of clicking on it, I would have to scroll to it using the trackball. Plus I have the advantage of having double the screen size.

I'm pretty sure when I have kids I'll have no problem dropping them off at daycare in other people's care, but no one gets to touch my BB. Hearing her tapping your screen sent shudders down my spine.

Nothing beats the Bold. Best blackberry yet.

I can't wait to have a new curve to call my own! Even thinking of driving to Canada this week to get one...from TEXAS!

I got a chance to plaY WITH MY hOMies Bold, I liked it. Being that I just got the curve 3 weeks ago, AT&T w\2yr. I can't aford to pay the cost to "upgrade". I did however update the OS to 4.5 and add the bphone Zen theme then added a nice new wallpaper, to make myself feel better. Maybe in a few years....huh!!!

"Thanks Cancundan!"

I don't really like the Treo. I mean, come on, a STYLUS?!?!?! Those things are sooo old.

Hard to log in or view the web site. Making it hard to enter contest and shop at the same time. There are pop ups runing in the back ground

I've been having a lot of fun. It's so much faster than my Curve (although that could be due to the "non" official 4.5 software I'm running on it...) heheh

the bold !

I saw Jennifer's review and couldn't help to notice that she really didn't have nothing negative to say about the Bold (short of the touchscreen). She didn't talk about the software or anything... so aside the hardware factor i wouldn't be surprised to see her grab a BBerry but next year's round robin!

She's so gonna fall in love with the bold :-)

excellent! love the round robins, always good fun

THE BOLD IS THE GREATEST!!!

Bold is a little large...

I can't wait for vzw to pick this phone up. Storm? No Thanks! I want a bold.

interesting

This is the new BB model making me salivate. I'd rather have the full physical keyboard with a 3G connection.

Has a little southern twang to it!!!!

Blackberry all the way!!!

they will all soon realize that the bold is superior to the others

When she started touching the screen, my heart skipped a beat!!! The next question is will it develop dead spots where she was touching? Ouch...

Haha, yea I thought she was going to keep beating the thing lol.

The bloopers were the best part of the video. Thanks cancun dan.........haaaaha haa hee hee ha

Jennifer cracks me up! I did cringe at the nail tapping on the screen part, though

I finally went into an ATT store the other day to try the bold out, and I must say I was very impressed. It is so fast and the keyboard is amazing, I'm a long time blackberry user, and currently carry a curve, I won a storm in a raffle at work which I've yet to receive, (why they wouldn't put one aside for an internal contest is beyond me, but whatever) Even though that one is completely free, I might have to pick up a bold, it is just so fast I'm amazed.

Seems BBs keep getting dumped on for poor home screens.
I kinda see where it's coming from though.

Can't Wait For The Draw.

her review sucked-

in plain english

Wait, so login and post here for a chance to win a Bold and accessories, or login TreoCentral and post for a chance to win a Treo and accessories? Um, what's a Treo? ;)

Even if I couldn't use the 3G and UMA features, I would still unlock that puppy and use it on T-Mobile!

Love the way she is trying so hard to make it a touch screen.

Never noticed that the Bold had a "smile" on the keyboard. This was a good review. Glad to see who has it next in the roundrobin.

I'm still wanting that sexy BOLD!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA

The bold is sweet

really nice. I wouldn't mind of these

The Bold is the best phone out there!!!! No one can beat Blackberry!!!!

These videos make me want a Bold even more. That thing is awesome.

This is one of the worst videos ever. I can't believe I just wasted 8 minutes and 39 seconds of my life watching it.

However, I'm here to win. Please give me the Bold. Thanks.

She definitely traded up this week in the round robin, you'd better make sure she sends the bold back :P

She must be the kind of person who doesn't have a bad thing to say about anything or anyone. I would have been pissed if she banged on my screen like that though.

GO BOLD!!

Can't go wrong with the Bold, or now maybe with the 8900.

Interesting review. She went did the review totally different from Dieter. I have enjoyed everyone's review so far. Thank you Jennifer Now you just need to go buy yourself a Bold! ;o)

Wow she was rough on your bold.

Seems to me that she really like this phone, but she's stuck with a Treo

I think she will move up to a BB BOLD.

Would love to go bold, but beings Sprint only has the pearl and Curve, when my Pearl contract runs up, gonna have to take a look at the Curve, unless they do come out with another BB, (Or I win one)...

bold could use uma

anyone else cringe when she was tapping, wait, man-handling that bb screen? lol
anyway, i gotta admit though, never knew that u was shortcut for calculator... lol thanks jen!

There is no doubt that I would sell my body to the streets for this device... Having said that I would like an in-depth review... This wasn't a very insightful review. Either way I think you should send me one so I can do my own review :-)...

Whata cool experiment. I like how the BB devices are getting good reviews.

I finally got to mess around with one last night. And hands down this is the best Blackberry I have laid my hands on!

I'm just hoping i win this bold, because i havent won anything yet, and I've entered every contest you guys have held.

BOLD ALL THE WAY

BOLD ALL THE WAY

Good piece! hop on Jen, bold is beautiful!

Jennifer might want to get a second job as a woodpecker! Easy on that screen girl!

...

I think it's great Jennifer loved the Bold, but I was falling asleep listening to her talk!

i would love me a new bold .. PLEASE ..

It was not the most in depth interview with the bold but i wonder if she would give up her treo for the Bold?
As she said

"The bold and the beautiful"

I want a Bold! It seems like a great device.

The part where Jen was tapping the screen made me laugh... hehe.

just loooooove the bold...
when my curve dies some day...I WILL buy one for sure...

really dig this "smartphone round robin" stuff. fun to watch!

she shouldn't finger jab the bold like that... we know its not touchscreen lol

keep the bold!

Poor Bold!! GO beat up some treos!

the keyboard short cut is.........
O! so thats pretty handy.
OMG this lady is weird as heck.
awefull review but good laughs

Beautiful phone even though I didn't think the review was thorough enough

JENNIFER SEEM VERY POSITIVE ABOUT THE BOLD. SHE SEEMED TO APPRECIATE THE FUNCTION AND FORM THE BOLD OFFERED.

Im a VERY big fan of the Bold. But im a verizon customer, so i can only hope that it (the Bold) will eventually make its way there or that the Blackberry Niagara is not a myth, yet a device that will be released to us CDMA customers in Q1 of 2009...but as i said before. I CAN ONLY HOPE!

Who knows, the Curve 8900 may possibly make its way to Verizon by Q2. Just not a fan of the touchscreen keyboard on the Storm, so i'll wait it out for the next Verizon Blackberry. Patience may pay off! "I can only hope." lol

ish out of me how she kept touching the screen. I like my screen clean that's why I stay away from touch screens. Also I actually like to be able to feel the buttons!

You sure she's a treo fan. She sure seems to envy that bold. I just hope Santa brings me one this christmas.

I still prefer the BB.

I was pretty set on getting a storm, until I went to the ATT store and tried the Bold, its one nice phone. Now I am torn between the two. My contract is up with Verizon, and ATT just brought 3G to our market, so I don't know which one to get.

Just watch her fall in Love with the BB :)

Glad she loves the Bold. I do too. Want it!!!

It's sad to see the number of you who say things like Jennifer's nice and such, then cut her review to shreds. Have you tried to make a video review of a phone and cover everything in the 10 minutes YouTube limits a video to?

I've read her reviews on Treo Central and she is very knowledgeable about the phones themselves. You can know a lot about something, but be a tad nervous when it comes to actually demonstrating it sight-unseen via video.

I agree with the good things said about Jennifer. It was funny when she tapped on the screen pretending she thought for a moment it was a touch screen. Those screens are tough and I'm sure she read up on them before doing that.

I'm sure with time she'll be more relaxed in front of the camera and be better able to convey her thoughts to those of us who watch these videos to learn more about our next phone purchase possibility.

Sorry if I stepped on anyones toes, but I hate seeing people leave comments like those that tend to sting the person who they're aimed at.

Thanks for the review and I look forward to your other videos as well as all the other staff members videos!

sorry for the multiple posts
my page stuck and I kept hitting refresh

* waits for the attacks *

interesting video, definitely thought she wanted to crack the screen.. the treo phones are just so ugly beside the BOLD!

Nothing new for us but a decent overview for those that are unfamiliar with it. Good job!

are starting to realize how great the bold is !!!!

Too be completely blunt and honest, I don't see what's so special about Treos. Blackberry BOLD!

phone out there.

I have a storm, but love the look and reviews of the Bold.
