Blackberry

smartarse u have the new bold 9000??? wahooo!! how was it? do u know how much is it?
i so want to have that

i got it through work.
it's retailed , i think around $599.00 ,but what do i care i got it free of charge.

it's really sleek! the sleekest BlackBerry i've seen, thus far.
the keypads are like other BlackBerries with the exception of the Curve.

i don't think it's out in the market yet.
however, my job pretty much get things in advance.
it's worth it for business, that's for sure.

but i love my Curve's keypads though.

I've been contemplating getting a BB for awhile but held off because I'm not sure what country I'll be in next year (thus don't want to commit to a new network, esp. not a cdma network). What makes the curve keypad nice? How does it differ from the new bold smartarse? I like the way the new bold looks though....

seems like loads of girls on my campus have bb's though. The only one I never liked was the pearl. seems pointless not to have the qwerty keyboard

^ Looking at the Bold, I'd say the Bold's keypad is more like the 8800's. They keys are not separated but have a slight tilt to them. Some complained about this and much preferred the Curve's (and older models') separated keys. I guess it's a personal preference.

I'd choose a Bold simply for the fact that it will be using 3G instead of EDGE. I constantly surf the net on my Blackberry, and although the speed does not bother me too much, it would be nice for pages to load significantly faster.

Meg: BlackBerry Curve's keypads are indeed separated and comfortable to the touch. easier to text. it's not spongey like the Pearl's or side-by-side keypads of the 8800's.

i dont get why college students have CrackBerries. i used it for work. mainly to get connected to my company's internal email at work or whatever you call it.

thanks for the info guys. I mean to say i like the way the new bold "looks" not "works" since obviously I don't have it!

I agree smartarse. Another reason I don't have one is I take my laptop pretty much everywhere ie. in class, to study sessions, so I don't really need another device to check my email. Wish I got enough emails to necessitate checking it constantly but alas, I'm just not that popular

 

[nat_attak]

ah yes, i'm waiting for the blackberry bold too. you should def. get this over the curve seahorse.

 

[seahorseinstripe]

the problem is, i'm going to ask a friend to get it from me in US because it's a lot cheaper to get the unlocked version. the 8320 is like 650$ here and it's only around 380 or 400 tops on ebay. and he'll be goin to NY in june, i have no idea when this bold is out
smartarse, do u think i can get to buy the bold in may or june?

 

[fashion_boi_01]

other than internet speed, what are the major differences between the curve and the bold?
The only provider that I know will be getting the Bold here is Rogers, and I have a personal vendetta against them..! The other networks might get it a few months later.. but that's too far away.

 

[smartarse]

seahorseinstripe: i was told it'll be on sale in June in the U.S. at an AT&T wireless store.

fashion_boi_01: BlackBerry Curve is lighter, slightly smaller than the regular BlackBerry and the Bold.

it's already june and still no sign on the bold
i even checked on ebay, and none sell them there yet, ebay use to be my parameter LOL

Hey D! im using a blackberry and i absolutely love it. its user friendly unlike the iphone where i had a hard time with the keypad.

Its very useful to me i love that i can have YM wherever i go and i get all emails at anytime of the day, i recommend the blackberry

 

[Zoely]

since yesterday i have a blackberry 8700... i know its a old one in america.. but here we don't have a lot of blackberry.. the phone is great.. i had a prada lg touchscreen first.. but the touchscreen doesn't work anymore soo.. only to bad that i can't messenger.. because i have another provider that i should have.. but that is because i bought the blackberry on internet

 

[timothywj91]

I have that exact phone and I love it!!! But I'm pretty sure there is another one coming out later in the year.

 

[JoeyNeverJoe]

I've had a BB pearl 8130 for a while now, and I now know that I will never not have one. They are fabulous! I've never been so organized in my life. I really want a bold and am thinking about getting one once it comes out on the market, but I know I'll wait about 6 months until they fix out all the bugs and make it better!

You know what they say "Once you go Blackberry you won't back!"

 

[Aimeeeee]

i have a blackberry curve 8310 which i got last week and i love it, it is fantastic

 

[Diorlover]

I want to get BlackBerry 8110 Pearl, does anybody have it?? is it anygood??

 

[seanutbutter]

^ My mom has that phone and says she loves it because of its convenient size and user-friendly interface. She mainly uses the texting and email features, but I believe there is also a camera and media player.

 

[seahorseinstripe]

just got my 8320 last week and LOVE ing it!!!!

 

[dalgyal]

OMG i have been craving the pearl for the longest time. It is definitely going to be my next phone after my flip chocolate fone contract ends next feb :]

 

[Juliet.J]

Ugh i do NOT recommend the pearl unless you are a true die hard pearl fan. First off the keypad is not convenient especial when writing emails and texting. Secondly the pearl is old and will soon be replaced by a newer version with the exception of the 8120(Its a pearl with up to date features but for the price people are selling it for you're better off getting a curve). So why spend the money on something that will be discontinued in a matter of months?

Ive had the pearl and sold it. I also had the 8800 which is cool yet boring being that there is NO camera so I switched to the curve and been in love ever since.


On another note you can change the color of your phone using colorwarepc its a pretty cool and interesting site.
