metsfan Posted June 3, 2008 Share #2 Posted June 3, 2008 Screen shots look decent. THe blackberry OS visual interface has come a long way. I still prefer the iPhone, because it has features other "smart phones" still don't have, plus i'm a fan of larger screens. I am sure some people will love this, just not for me. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is for me x3! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted June 3, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 3, 2008 That is one sleek looking phone. I will consider it when I decide to upgrade from my t-mobile mda. The Blackberry bold 9000 must be around $600-$700 when it comes out. Still it will give the Iphone some serious competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broad St. Belle Posted June 3, 2008 Share #6 Posted June 3, 2008 I'm definitely looking forward to this upgrade! Although, I'm used to the size of my pearl and think this one is a a bit clunky; it's just too many cool features to pass on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo M 201 Posted June 3, 2008 Share #9 Posted June 3, 2008 Looks pretty nice and sleek. Blackberrys aren't really for me though. I'll stick to the LG Muziq I have now and hoping for an iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted June 3, 2008 Share #11 Posted June 3, 2008 I hate at&t with a passion! I don't like ATT for the simple reason that they are competing with an inferior technology against verizon for landline users, however i have never had a stumbling block issue with them, and they are very keen to my financial situation & the fact that i do and try to pay my bill on time every time. Verizon on the other hand, charged my family for disconnected lines over 8 months (mobile). Verizon landline service has been awesome. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share #12 Posted June 4, 2008 I would get a 22% corporate discount on Verizon Wireless from my company and I have yet to switch over to Verizon for cellular phone service. I still have about one year left in my contract with at&t. I used to be a Nextel customer for over 6 years, then switched to Verizon for a month, then to at&t up to this day. I was just about to switch back to Verizon to take advantage of the 22% discount then RIM announces the Blackberry Bold. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but don't forget that Verizon is a "Baby Bell" so they once used to be at&t.

I want to switch to Verizon, or get the Sprint Nextel Hybrid. I used to work for at&t, and I don't like their business tactics at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
