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.

In my line of work an iPhone just doesn't cut it.

 

I will be upgrading from the Blackberry Curve to the Bold as soon as it is released.

 

This is for me x3! :cool:

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.

It should be around $300-$400 when it is released with contract of course.

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.

I want that phone! Who's going to provide service for it?

First in the US as always at&t. In Canada, Rogers.

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.

I hate at&t with a passion!

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.

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:

Actually, Verizon's FIOS and at&t's U-Verse are vertually the exact same technology. Not only that but don't forget that Verizon is a "Baby Bell" so they once used to be at&t.

I had Nextel for 8 years, and I swiched to the Sprint PCS side about 6 months ago. 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!
