Hands-on with the BlackBerry Bold

We had the opportunity to sit down with RIM's newest (and first) HSDPA 3G device, and we came away quite impressed...

Here it comes...the inevitable Storm comments. I work for Verizon, so of course I'm excited about the Storm. However, the Bold is freaking sweet, and I really wish we had it. The Storm is more consumer oriented, which is the direction RIM is taking these days. But the Bold is a nice hybrid, very business-like but appealing to the average joe too. I for one kinda wish I had a line with AT&T just to take advantage of this sweet little device. Guess I'll stick with my Curve for now though lol

Its hilarious how all of a sudden, the storm, which hasn't even hit the shelves yet is the greatest thing to happen to phones since verizon (note the sarcasm)... Why is it that with vzw fanboys, anything that is off "the network" either "doesn't work", "isn't as good" as what vzw has, or, as a last excuse, "what good is a phone if its not on the network?".... this is a great phone... if at&t works for you as a carrier, more power to you to use the phone...

Agreed. Too many Verizon fagboys lurking. 99% of the people braggin up the Storm haven't even touched it which makes their statements about it hilarious at best. Get a life you losers, and stick to threads about your own interests.

the bold seems like it will have a few features that the storm wont have either..like buttons!
not to mention the screen resolution is sopposed to be amazing, and i doubt the storm will have a better resolution than the bold.
so enjoy overpaying everything vzw fanboy :D

it isnt going to be a bold vs storm battle, it will be an iphone vs storm battle, and you are seriously underestimating the iphone if you think the storm is gonna clean house like you say it will.

The best thing about the storm is that it happens to be a blackberry. Not because its on Verizon. All in all, you got your Apple junkies, and you got your Blackberry junkies. Everyone has their fruit. So enjoy it.

I think that the Storm and the Bold are in two different segments and will be marketed to two different type of people. I for one work for Verizon Wireless and I think the storm will be a great phone and maybe will be better than the bold but no one knows until the phone comes out. I have had a chance to play with the storm and it is a great phone ... but I agree that we need to comment on the phone and not the provider that is going to carry the device because each carrier has a key device that is a top seller among that carrier.

i like how you guys are fighting about who's is best when the makers of both the bold and the storm are the same ppl. and you guys are acting like it's a big bad battle till the end on who's is the best. I mean hell i'm sure RIM is just sitting back proud of the work that they put into both i'm sure both devices will be equally enjoyable. So stop the bickering back and forth.
