This week Boy Genius had tow great new posts about the BlackBerry Bold:
- BlackBerry Bold review: we’ve been rockin’ it for a month
- BlackBerry Bold vs. iPhone 3G: yeah, we definitely went there
So if you got some minutes take the time and read through those two. They have to some some very different things:
At first glance, the first thing you’ll see is obviously the gorgeous screen on the 9000. We can safely say that this is the best screen we’ve ever seen on a mobile device. Hands down.
Contra:
It’s now July 15th, and even running the latest 4.6.0.93 build, we’re still pulling the battery out a good 10 times a day. Why? Between the constant java errors, and the BlackBerry completely losing service and informing us it’s “Searching for Network…”. That’s why.
Seems RIM has to do some major improvements to the software of the device! Whereas this sounds good to me:
With the latest software version, we can safely say we’re getting as good or better battery life than we did with our Curve. Yes. Isn’t that awesome? Thanks to 1500mAh battery and a crap load of engineering on RIM’s part, they’ve finally got it nailed down.
I am still wondering when the first Bold will be selled officially.
