FINALLY......POSTING FROM MY STORM!!!!

Thanx to the NT'r that suggested OPERA MINI...FTW

 

[elderwatsondiggs]

Here is what people FAIL to realize about the 9000 BOLD versus the 8900 Javelin. 3G is more than just about internet speed. It's all about SIMULTANEOUSVOICE AND DATA. Let me repeat that for effect SIMULTANEOUS VOICE AND DATA. That means you can be on the phone while still getting all of your emails, messages,and even still surf on the internet WHILE NOT BEING RESTRICTED TO A WIFI HOTSPOT. This means while I'm using the phone while driving (using bluetoothheadset of course) the GPS navigation is still giving me directions. This means I can be on an important conference call and still be able to fire offimportant emails. You simply cannot do that on non 3G devices because the voice and data uses the same radios. With 3G one radio is dedicated to voice, theother data.

With Curve I would have to make sure I wasn't on the phone if I was expecting an important email to come through while I was on the move. For some thatmight not be important, but I find that is is highly appreciated and professional to respond to an email promptly.

With that being said... BOLD > Javelin, even though the Jav is still a nice phone no doubt.

Also with 3G you can tether your laptop via Bluetooth making your laptop internet capable when you have a signal on your phone. And since it's 3G andallows simultaneous voice and data you can be tethered to your laptop and still be able to make and receive calls and emails.

So again Bold > Javelin. The size difference isn't all that much different.

Also, there's a app called Quick Launcher that is a definite must have for the BB. It allows you access texts, emails, BBM, IM, Maps, etc with the press of one button.

You can do that with any device that has a keypad anyway.

Go to your dialing screen.

Hit Menu.

General Options.

Turn "Dial From Home Screen" from yes to no.

Save.

Then anytime you wanna' check your messages, hit M, BBmsgr, hit N, basically look at whatever option you're choosing and whatever has the underscore (_), you just press that letter and it'll shortcut you to that feature.

Works for everything but the Pearl and the Storm I think.

My-T.
That is true, but I prefer dialing from my home screen so that point becomes null and void.

 

[dead stokc]

^^But U bout to pay $5 for somethine u can do
for free. Just press the phone button and get on
wit it homey, lol.

Think Im ready to come back to the BB fam.......
Might need to go ahead and finally get that Jave.

I just learned I can upgrade to an 8830 for 100.
Can someone quickly educate me on the pros and cons and the features of this phone? And it seems petty but does that -70 really make a difference compared tothe 8900?

 

[thetruth03]

the Blackberry Bold is going to be launching for verizon this summer.. June or July.. It going to have the direct connect feature also

its official

haha you have no idea.. the 8800 series is what the bold came from, and is quite outdated... on top of that i used to have one and had numerousproblems with it, and i know other people that had the same problems too.. dont by old technology, if you have a choice go with the 8330 instead, i loved thatphone it was so stable and by far the easiest keyboard ive ever used... im on a storm now and love it but its one of those things that youre either going tolove or hate, and i know too many people that are on the hate side lol... in essence, dont get the 8830, the numbers (+70 to 8900) dont mean anything, the 8900is much better than 8830 (but is only for tmobile at the moment)

The Bold is HUGE, fam-lay..

 

[bowzer blitz]

The Bold is just right to me...I found the OLD Curve unconformable. I wish the Niagara was more of the same sz as the Bold.
.........We will see though....I need to get rid of the Storm. Love it but the no Keyboard thing is not a good look.

 

[thetruth03]

u think? not much of a difference between it and the storm.. size wise

Any idea how much? I'm on verizon right now and my contract ends in April. I was planning on switching to AT&T but maybe I can wait an extra twomonths.

 

[i3allistic]

not my phone, but red bezel on the BOLD look ill as hell

 

[jordan balla]

honestly im pretty sure he bold isnt coming to verizon... theyre dropping their own phone called the niagara, which is like a hybrid curve/bold (think best ofboth worlds) in may (but knowing verizon, dont expect it til q3 or q4 of this year

but it is.. a friend of mine works for BB.. and said its already official

i think its going to be 199-249 w/ a 2 year contract...

 

[bravo]

so my contract with tmobile is going to done soon, and i feel in love with my dads 8900.

i currently have a shadow (been having it since it dropped) and i really hate this phone lol, its 2009 so its time for a change

i think im going to be part of the bb fam when the niagara drops

 

[Original Playa Records]

Just ordered a brand new 8700 from T-Mobile Business Direct. yessr.

 

[xdahcreator]

The bold isn't really that big. Must be if your hands are small. It's like people with big hands saying the 8900 is too small.

 

[stepinitup]

that red bold is crack

 

[shabooyah1124]

Anyone know when the 8900 is going to come to AT&T? I got an upgrade coming up in May and I was hoping to grab it then.

Bold is not big at all. anyone who says its big must have small, really small hands. Its the pefect size for a phone, any bigger or smaller thatit would be weird.

 

[stepinitup]

Not big at all

I have the 8900 and I was messing around with my friend's Bold for a few minutes and there is a GREAT difference in size. It's probablyI've had a Pearl, Curve 8320 and now 8900 for the past 2 (maybe 3?) years so the Bold is a big difference. The difference in size between the two is huge,the Bold itself is probably the average size of a smartphone though.
