1 out of 5 stars Complete disappointment   January 3, 2009
My Blackberry Bold is headed for the junk drawer...or the nearest brick wall. The battery life is terrible, and even without talking on the phone, I have to recharge mine 2-3 times a day. The Bold's software glitches sometimes make me wonder if I perhaps accidently bought mine from a joke shop. The thing is constantly rebooting.

And dont get me started about the cost of roaming. The damn thing eats megabytes by the dozen everyday, even when you are not surfing. Music sounds great, but try getting the music onto the Blackberry. Sure, possible, but not so easy. I have owned a Blackberry for years. The Bold is a complete disappointment.


1 out of 5 stars AT&T Warranty SUCKS and their Smrtphones don't last a year !!!   January 2, 2009
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Why buy these $500+ phones new and get stuck with a 2-yr contract when the phone doesn't last even a year?
It's almost like BAIT & SWITCH by AT&T. They stop "carrying" the particular expensive phone in less than a year so when the phone dies in a few months AT&T won't have to exchange it with a new one for you... but they got your contract for 2 years... with a cheaper phone in exchange. Before wasting your money on a new expensive AT&T smartphone, ask yourself if you're ok with having to warranty exchange your new phone with a USED refurbished one in less than a year.



5 out of 5 stars iPhone shopping- look here first   January 1, 2009
I have a yahoo, gmail, and one or two other email accounts that are regularly accessed. Don't do much with instant messaging.

All Blackberry devices handle all mail (and phone calls and SMS) into a single messagebox- easy to see what's come in and has/hasn't been handled.

Things the Blackberry does that the iPhone doesn't do:

- ability to copy/cut/paste text

- multiple email account centralization

- stereo bluetooth support

- recording videos

- removable storage & swapping batteries

- multiple carriers (ATT, Verizon, TMobile)

If you have a single email account and aren't a 'power email' person the iPhone could work out OK.

Until then it's time to Be Bold :)

I could see the iPhone being preferable if the owner is browsing the web heavily and watching video, photos, and audio.


5 out of 5 stars features abound for serious users   December 31, 2008
If touch screens are not important to you, which i pesonally dont see the point, then the bold has everything else one needs. i use it primarily for work purposes with my works blackberry enterprise and it has been a blessing. emails, to do lists, appointments, even comes pre loaded with an office document reader to keep up with excel word and powerpoint files. a nice perk is that it supports wifi and automatically switches to it when a program can use it.
for phone calls themselves the voice quality is great, i love adding short cuts to all the letters on the keyboard which makes for easy fast dialing.

u can have different email addresses, get tons of apps like yahoo messanger caller id etc.

as a music player it also works great, added a 16gb card to it and so it can store alot of things. for video i was amazed at how nice it looks, with the att cellular video feature there is tons of content you can stream and it looks just like it would on a nice tv at home.

for music the speakers on the phone itself are surprisingly loud and clear. for the car i bought an fm transmitter to play music in the car and its on par with my ipod. a nice extra perk i hadnt thought about and found out when i plugged in the fm transmitter is that if you put a call on speaker with the fm transmitter the phone transfers the person you are talking to to your car speakers so its a nice handsfree tool.

only con i can think of is that if u have wifi and bluetooth the battery does drain and you need to charge it at least once a day with normal talking time.

if you are someone interested in web browsing then this phones is not for you because the browser is not good at all other than for simple things like reading news etc, but its no way close to safari. so if your getting this phone for that then go with the iphone if you want a productivity tool that can also do good things with music and streaming video then you cant go wrong with this phone.


3 out of 5 stars Blackberry Bold 9000 - Poor synchronization with Outlook   December 30, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a great phone, but synchronization with Microsoft Outlook is very slow and cumbersome. It takes me about 30-45 minutes to synchronize my data, versus 60-90 seconds with my Palm Treo. Also, the synchronization line by line match is only about 95% accurate. Several fields just don't match up.
