Blackberry Bold Review Makes Me Want One

by Mika


APC reviewed the Blackberry Bold, and it has me seriously wanting one. I checked ebay, and they’re still upwards of $800-1000 which is a joke, but I’m thinking I will probably pick one up after they’re released.

Guess this means I’m switching to AT&T Wireless after a bunch (I can’t remember, but it’s probably 5-6) years with Tmobile. Amazing what kind power these gadgets have to make us switch providers like this, and I kind of detest that it’s hard to get the same phone on different carriers, with all these exclusive agreements between the carrier and device manufacturer. It definitely isn’t in the consumer’s best interest.

RIM, if you’re listening, I would buy one direct from you instead of switching carriers even if it cost a bit more, assuming you offer a similar replacement plan for damage and loss like most wireless companies do.

  1. dont you feel the new blackberry is going to be a little gimmicky and is jumping on the trendy bandwagon? it looks like a mix between the iphone and the motorola Q line. A lot of BB loyalists have stuck with the line because of its functionality, menu style, and signature look and now they’re deviating away from that. i’m interested to see what the actual owner reviews will be…

    do you currently own a blackberry?

  2. Since I haven’t actually used one, I can’t answer from an owner’s perspective. I’ve owned windows-mobile powered phones for the last 3-4 years, and never a blackberry because they seem to lack some of the features that I like, such as exchange sync without having to pay extra for that service or run some software on a computer that needs to stay on all the time.

    I do not think it’s on the trendy bandwagon. It has worldwide 3G. Many new phones don’t. It believe it doesn’t have a touch screen - many other new models do, trying to be iphone-ish.

    Overall, my impression after checking out the specs and reading a few reviews is that it’s going to be a robust business-class phone. It is softening the ‘hard core’ blackberry appeal a little but in a good way.
