Hmmm... maybe I'll just keep my 8830 in that case. :/

Stick to 8830. I actually find the clicking on the screen even worse than typing on the iphone. It actually gets tiring.

Still, I reckon we should be patient and wait for mk2, or at least a brand new firmware to iron out the massive potholes. By then, there will be a third generation iPhone though ... ... and a whole new ballgame.

Don't even get me started. I had to use the beta version for months! When i turn the device to landscape, i would have to shake it in order for the screen to change. I'm glad i'll be getting my bold back soon

I recently 'upgraded' to the BB Flip/Kickstart (8220), after the initial pains of learning the typing system and finding where all the options are hidden I'm quite liking it.

I looked at the Bold and the Storm but the environment I work and play in are not safe for a phone with an 'open keyboard'. This was my reason for switching as my previous phone was subjected to quite a bit of scraping and bumping. The clamshell design is solid and the hinge is large which prevents the twisting I've seen on other clamshell designs. The exterior screen will show the text of messages when they arrive and the status LED lets me know at a glance if I have a message I missed.

My biggest complaint at the moment is the lack of decent holsters for it, I've been relegated to using non-brand flipphone holsters that aren't up to par of the nice Blackberry ones out there.

I have the World Edition 8830, which is company issued and even though I was reluctant at first, I now find that I couldn't live without it.

It is an incredible device.

The bold is a very nice looking BB

I had BB Bold for some time..borrowed it from Dad.. its one phone which is highly productive and yet tons of features for entertainment. the Video playback for movie is awesome.

although after i got my Xperia..Bold kinda lost its charm for me

 

[Rednamalas1]

just say no to windows mobile...ugh.

I've had a few crackberries, and would not want to live without one now... I enjoy wifi on the newest one, and skype, and many other features - & tho the last two upgrades had me looking sideways at an iPhone (and like many here, I'm an apple fan), I found it to be a pretty gadget but not that useful.

I hear browsing forums on the Bold is dreadful because the text is too small to read??

you can click to zoom in...i like it. if not, you can always download opera which i hear is very good

I got a Storm and its a let down. But other than the missing wifi I think RIM can fix most of the issues with it so hopefully it'll get better.

 

[dhaninugraha]

i'll be getting a 8800/8820 soon

do you have the latest software update? it's supposed to make the whole OS run much smoother.
