Bold Rocks!

.

As I said on the wmexperts page, Bold is more of a contender this year than the curve was. RIM has made some big strides in a short amount of time.

I'm dying for a BOLD!

I'm dying for a BOLD!

Overall, I don't agree with his comments of this being the BB equal of the old Treo 650. Honestly, I used a 650 for several years and was a BIG fan of PalmOS, but my Curve is WAY better than what my 650 ever was. And the Bold is a huge leap on that from what little I've been able to play with it since I don't own one yet.

GET A CLUE!!

I'm sorry, Palms cannot touch BlackBerry(nice pun... palms..hands...touch...ok i'm lame).

but i'd sure like a Bold!!

Bold = Treo 650? I don't think so.

ewww trio 650

As much as i disagree with him, i gotta say that his review is very thorough and informative.

I think he did a fair job on the review. I can definitely see people missing the WinMo Today screen, it's a nice feature and it's highly customizable.

There a BlackBerry apps you can buy but they're not quite as good and they don't quite work the same way (you can't make some of them the default thing you see when you unlock your phone).

However, his review gave enough insight that I'm more encouraged to upgrade my Curve to a Bold rather than wait for the Javalin.

Ship it plz. k. thx.

This was a really nice and objective review!

I've got a feeling that by the end of the Round Robin everyone will have a Bold on the side. I can't wait to get one!!

I LOVE THE BOLD!!

I think I am ready to go BOLD. I have been waffling with the decision of Javelin or Bold - but I like what I saw here. And as a former WM user - WM is slow. SLOW. I can't wait to have a fast Bold.

turtles.

Not a bad review at all. As a user of both WM and BBOS I think both have their place just depends on what you want from the phone.

how can one even find their way around on a Palm OS. at least you know what you are doing and how to do it on the awesome BB Bold and Blackberry OS.

I am an advid Blackberry fan that switch over from the Treo to the Curve and now have upgraded to the Bold. The treo cannot touch the Bold in performance, speed, or picture quality. Even tho some things he said were true (very impressive review) but no way is there a comparison!!!

Now can I win that spare battery or the case? LOL

I really think I want the Bold, too. The Storm has my interest, though.

Good, balanced, and fair review. I agree with Dieter, in that while I love my Blackberry 8800, the OS is still something that needs to be revamped from the bottom up. The reviews of the Storm is a good reminder of this. The inclusion of a "Today Screen" would be really nice as well.

I can't remember the number of posts in the Themes forum that simply ask the Theme Creator if they can post a version of their creation in a "Today" format. And even then, the formatting is...just not right. Too much spacing, almost ugly at times, and certainly not the most information you could fit onto the screen.

All that said, I still want a Bold. Right stat!

Palm 650?? Hmmm...nope! Still want one!!

:D

Hm, the OS is good enough for me! I've still got my heart set on the Bold.

Im sure they didntlike our review of their fone...its all each to his own. We love BB's and they love the Palm...Meh as long as we're all happy with our fones who cares!

I still think the Bold is the best blackberry for me. But unfortunately, T-mobile does not support its 3G and AT&T will never get my business again.

Dieter get a today profile and you get a today screen.

Thank you for the opportunity to take one home!

If the bold was on verizon, I would have one today. Went in for the storm, tested it out, gave up. I will wait with my good old Treo 700P. The curve is tempting me but I really want the bold. Can't switch carriers though.

As a few others have stated, I also disagree with some of Dieter's comments. But I must say, he did a very thorough and detailed review of the phone. Gotta give him credit for that.

oh yah .. he loves the bold .. me too ..

Would definitly have the bold if it were on verizon, but I will gladly settle for the storm!

The BB OS can be confusing at first to figure out settings, but in reality, it only took like a day or so to really get it down pat, and from then on it's been golden. I used a couple of Winmo devices in the past, and they've never given me as much information, as quickly and easily as my Curve.

It's by no means fair to say that the Bold is the Treo 650 for Palm. I had a Treo 650 and although it was a good phone by no means it is better than a Curve, much less the Bold. The Bold is in the cutting edge of cellphone technology right now.

BOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice review

I want a Bold!

After all the "Storm-chasing" and research and being disappointed by some of the functionality of the Storm after having some alone time with it, I have decided to wait it out and possibly wait until the Bold/Niagara? comes to VZW. Unless, of course, I win a Bold on here. Then I won't have to wait.

A very fair and just review. Now if only Verizon had the Bold!

I think he just has BB envy.

Bold is good.

wish i had one

The bold looks nice might be a good alternative if I decide I don't like the storm.....got give it a test drive first!
