...Official BLACKBERRY Thread v.updated...

[slaptastic]

Okay. So I'm ready to make the switch from my iPhone 3GS to a Blackberry Bold. Is it worth it or should I wait if a better one is coming out soon? Theswich is so I can be more businuess orentated on the go, the iPhone isn't cutting it (and I've had an iPhone since 1st launch). Getting emails late,droping calls. I mean the iPhone JUST got video capabilites and I was hyped over it..smh..

What are some good things about the Bold? Anywhere I can get a refurb or one for cheap?

play with it in the store, you can't go wrong really besides the no 3G but oh well.

Whats good with voicemail alerts on the Tour? I only get a Text saying to activate my visual voicemail?

edit
just found out you can change what applications the convenience keys on the side are for AND you can adjust the sensitivity of the track ball...

Yeah you can "tether" with the Tour... I believe it might be a monthly fee for data usage with this. I personally don't do this with Verizon.

might wanna try tetherberry ....its a software that allow tether w/o the additional charges from ur provider ...i havn't try it with the TOURtho ...i have it on my BOLD, it works.

i3allistic - thanks for that link.

I downloaded the app from AT&T and it didn't work. Ive been rocking my new comp and tv without internet for 2 months now and am trying to use my dataplan for it. not working. an error hits me everytime!

BB BOLD - I was wondering if anyone went with opera or what they suggest. I'm trying to make my bold better then ever but have had no success. Plus its gets bit laggy at times and gives me the white screen of death

Went from a HTC touch pro to a bb tour this past sunday and I absolutely love this phone. Changed from the original $30 SERO (F&F 500) to $30 SERO voiceonly + free BIS + $7.50 unlimited text. Anyone on SERO that wants to try getting free BIS, read this.

I was so tired of windows mobile. Ended up getting it from a local sprint store because a connect I had at best buy (nyc area) that said they won't begetting the sprint tour's until further notice. Only the LI/NJ best buy's received them for now.

The phone is

. I love the fact that it comes unlocked so I can put in any sim card and it works seamlessly. The keyboard works great. I had no issues withthe "screen ripple." My battery door is slightly loose but not a deal breaker. All in all, I am VERY happy with my purchase of the tour. Certifiedcrackberry addict now.

To anyone who's interested and due for an upgrade, Walmart.com has the BB Bold for $99 BEFORE a mail in rebate(making the phone eventually free) with a free 4gig memory card...

My blackberry screen is messed up somehow. It can be described as an inside smudge and it looks like a light streak across the side of the phone. Anyway to fixthat or do I just have to turn it in for a new one?

 

[cwrite78]

for those tethering, remember most providers's "unlimited data" is BS and limited to 5GB /month. double check with your provider before you gotethering.

Get the 8900 if you prefer not to have 3G, smaller phone, and better cam. Get the BOLD if you prefer a big phone & 3G. I have the BOLD and love it
