come on now we all know that the bold is the best of all that are being tested . lol

LOL!! for sure she loved it what's not to love? it's a great device and she gave it a great review I think!

i like this Robin thing. what a great idea to do.

what a shock .. she loved the bold .. who knew ??

Just a matter of time before she will completely give up her treo. :)

BOLD ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

The bold is a nice device and easy to use. I am a current Curve user for work and have a Palm for personal use; but I have defected to the Blackberry side.

Of course she like it; it's a Blackberry BOLD.....
I am glad she had the time to spend with a great device and became familiar with it! I bet she is dreaming about the Bold thrashing her Treo.... She will be converted in a minute, then she'll be writing an article about how the BOLD won her over!

it for sure really is a great device...
i'm actually amazed she is not switching...

Nice phone, probably would have gotten that if the Storm hadn't of come out.

I have been following the round robin and am a HUGE blackberry fan. I just got the storm and I am so glad that is not what is being circulated around as the blackberry device. I think the storm will be a decent device one day but RIM really messed up by not putting a better processor in it. The speed of the bold is getting more compliments than anything and that is what the storm is seriously lacking. Why in the world would they put a slower processor in a device that obviously needs it because of how it is suppose to be used??? Someone really messed that decision up. Anyway just wanted to say thanks for the reviews.

If the only thing that Jennifer found annoying with the Bold was a lack of a dedicated button for the period, then she should switch immediately! Why didn't anyone tell her to just hit space twice? :)

"Why didn't anyone tell her to just hit space twice?" That got missed in the forum. Oh well.

It is no shock she loved the Bold's screen. It is the best on the market. Everyone should have a BOLD!

Just want to say that it was a great review. i love the bold and now after her review it makes me want to get on even more.

After reading her review, there's no doubt that she's open minded to the Bold, and probably wouldn't hesitate to suggest it to somebody in the market for a BB. I enjoyed her review very much and props to the Round Robin for picking this individual for a reviewer!

Good review, wish the Bold was offered thru vzw.

So, will she be switching to the better bold?

Why anyone would prefer a Palm device over a BB is beyond me.

Do I smell a convert?

I think it would be great if an editor from one of the smart phone sites defected after their reviews in the round robin. Go Bold!

I have been very happy with mine. I think if Jennifer kept using it she would never want to go back to a previous phone.

next she needs to try the storm. im in love with mine. its amazing.

Every post I read about the Bold make me want it more. I work my devices like mad and I finally think I worked my Curve so hard she is beginning to show signs of needing a break... Thanks!

Nice to see she loved it. The BB and Treo have similar enough form factors that I imagine it was easy enough for her to pick it up and use it.

One more Bold Addict

No real surprise that she loved it. ;)

Its all about the Bold! Got 1 more converted the other day! Now we got another good review and 1 more person 2 praise best berry out there! (Of course that is IMHO!)

She'll be switching over very soon....

Everyday I love this phone more and more...Amazing.

my brother was at a presentation yesterday at upenn given by the commissioner of the FCC, and he couldnt help but notice that she was toting a bold...

it's pretty hard to not like the Bold...

I do beleive the Bold has made a converter out of her!

I sure do like my bold.

Who doesn't like the Bold?

Bold looks amazing. Can't wait to get my hands on one.

Maybe someday I can switch to AT&T. I have to wear out my Storm first.

Next, the world.

looks like another convert :)

I think somebody will make the jump soon or at least have one for her personal use.

That's fantastic. I love my Bold, don't know how I lived without a BB for so long.

I haven't loved a keyboard on a phone this much since the 8700.

The more you use a BB the more you'll love it...EVERYONE should give it a try. Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Does anyone know when or if Cellular South is getting the Bold?

Who wouldn't LOVE the BOLD?!

January 21. Date is marked on my calendar. That is the day I shall join my Bold brethren. Can't wait. Was holding out for the 8900 since I am a Curve user, but once I saw a working Bold at my local ATT store, it was ova!!!! COME TO PAPA!!!!!! It is killing me to wait, but for the diff in $$$, I will wait for my upgrade. I know it will be great. The screen, keyboard, shape.....excuse me, I need a minute. WOW. I have a confession: I strayed. Fell for the hype and bought an iPhone. I know, I know. You NEVER leave your true love. It just sounded so good. Speedy internet. Slick touch screen. Felt very nice in my hand. Built in iPod. I lusted. Had to have it. Then I woke up one morning, rolled over and looked at it. WHAT HAD I DONE!!! Could I be forgiven?? Put my SIM back in the Curve and begged forgiveness. With my Curve on my hip, all is right again. It will be hard to leave her again, we have been through thick and thin. But, in some way, I think it understands. And it approves.

Come on Jan 21!!!!!!!!!

Would be hard not to love it.....

I'm not surprised that she loved the device. The Bold is a very functional tool, and I am impressed with it daily.

People still use those? Welcome to the 21st century, Jennifer. Jennifer is also a writer for TubeTV.com where she will be reviewing an LCD HDTV in the TV round robin.

PS - Where'd you get that awesome robin theme for the Bold? It seems to pop right out!

Haha. After all the praise I read, I just don't get how she still prefers her Palm. Yes, there's a period, but that comes with a much more cramped keyboard. (No matter how used to the keyboard you are, you have to admit that the Bold is going to be easier, so that pretty much cancels the convenience of a period anyway.) Yes everything you need is on the main screen, but that's just clutter, imo. I like that I don't have to have so much on my screen so I can enjoy my perty wallpaper. Also, there's all those shortcut keys, so I don't get the complaint there. Additionally, the BlackBerry is just faster, nicer and more fun.

She needs to just admit that she will come over to the dark side, already.

@Kevin,

I ran across your site and thought I had found home! lol. Finally a site where less biased posts seem to prevail. The posters are at least sane and not children (for the most part) and don't stomp their feet like children when someone is critical about their phone (mother it seems sometimes). I like the fact that you actually try to interact with your members and by far more personal than the two biggie sites. However, the biggest thing lacking is daily news! My usual morning consist of grabbing a cup of coffee and sit down and look at my favorite phone blogs BGR, Engadget and now Crackberry. BGR site has become insanely biased with its posters and it's basically a playground fight everyday. You leave the site ticked off, very much a different BGR than days of old. I started making Crackberry my first stop each morning but it seems to be a very quick read from the lack of new info everyday. Maybe this is the format and I am out of line and I apologize if this is the case, but I crave my daily news of the industry and their has to be more going on than a Storm contest on a daily basis at the lead post and then more Round robin reviews. How about the progression of the Blackberry app store, Viigo storm progress, why no themes for storms, what is coming for CES, get my drift. Again, trying to make a change but for now I still head over to Engadget, BGR and PhoneArena to get the news of the day. I appreicate the site but here's hoping for more NEWS on Blackberry and it's major competition.

Thank you,
Newly dedicated Crackberry.com fan....

Finally got my BB, and am loving it! No way I'd go back to a Treo.

This actually what I really wanted on Verizon. But wont be for awhile. Oh well, guess I'll just deal with my Storm until my next upgrade. I want WiFi and it should have been on the Storm.

Sounds like a review from a convert to me!

Jenn is a convert in the making, although I'm stillfeeling Kevins pain from the first video, where the screen got a good ol' poking from the thought of it being a touchscreen.

Seriously the bold is just the best smartphone out there, if the reviewers cant see it theyre in denial lol.

"And the email was quick as lightning too! Very impressive! Now I'll have to remember to call AT&T and get my PDA data plan back. Luckily, both plans cost the same."

Maybe the reviewer should permanently join Crackberry instead.

is it time for me to upgrade?

My title says it all.....too bad I don't have one yet lol

The rest of the smartphone world is just acknowledging it. I want my Bold.

I gotta say again and again, i love how open minded everyone is being with the round robin. Seems everyone is giving each device a fair shot to impress them. Just awesome.

And how can you NOT like the Bold, the keyboard, screen and OS just has to win you over!!!

Your Bold actually survived Jennifer's clutches!

When does that new Palm OS come out?

One more mark for the Bold. It's doing fairly well so far this year.

This is a brilliant concept not only in idea but in implementation. With the combined knowledge and experience of all the editors these review really serve as probably the best means of finding the right device for you that I've come across. Thanks for all the time and effort put in by all.

WINNER???? (YES)

One reason I love the BB is that it's very usable on-the-go. Glad this was something Jennifer noticed about the device.

I would love one too!:)

Awesome thanks for all the updates on the Round Robin. I'm getting the blackberry bold for christmas. This site made me a crackberry addict.

I think its still clear that the Bold is still the best phone on the market.

now i'm even more torn between the bold and the storm.

This is so frustrating... I'm watching these intently because I'm looking for a new phone, and each and every review makes it harder for me to decide which platform I want to jump to. Then again, its exciting that, for once, there seem to be so many great smartphone options out there! =)

The Bold is the best their is :)

Gotta love the great reviews.....Now if I could just get you guys to send me a new Bold, I would be happy to review it for ya! :-)

The Bold is nice.

A Free Bold. YAH

The Bold RULES!!! (And of course, it's BOLD)

Sry, double post

Darn browser... Sry triple post...

I can't wait till I get my Bold

I can't wait till I get my Bold!!

I love it that the blackberry products are getting such high marks. Tell us what we BB users all know....

BB get's the job done... and then some.

YAYY BOLD!

YAYY BOLD!

Haha how can she not want to switch?

yes yes win me a bolD!

hehe

great! just great!

She did a good job, seemed very nice, took plenty of pictures and made a good review.

- Duplicate Post... :(

- duplicate post.... :(

I love how open minded people are (mostly) going into the round robin. I also like seeing different people's takes on each device compared to what they are used to using. From trying to push the Bold's non-touch screen, to trying to wake the Palm with it's center button. It just goes to show how working with these devices does have an affect on how we view things. :-)

It's nice to see other smartphone people liking/loving the Bold. I finally got to play with one this past weekend and all it did was make me want to upgrade my Curve to a Bold a lot sooner rather than later (Here's hoping I win, hint hint).

So far the reviews for the Bold in the Round Robin have been positive and that's good. I'm interested to see what the iPhone guy has to say about it.

that I do think the Bold will become part of Jennifer's collection in the near future. Great review

I can't wait to own you!

Love
Jared

Okay, let's be honest. Who DOESNT love the bold?!

I have to agree with Jennifer that screen is beautiful and crisp...the vivid colors that almost make you want to cry, because it makes you think how far technology has advanced in the last decade or so.

I enjoyed reading your posts. Now I know for sure that I'll luv the BOLD

but the user interface with a BlackBerry can not be beat in my not so humble opinion. I bet she winds up missing it. Oh, and I too wish VZW would offer the Bold. I'm not digging the looks of the silver Curve and with all the multimedia capabilities of the BB, why would I want to put finger prints all over the display (Storm)?

a matter of time before blackberrys rule the world.

and wantttt it
