how much did you honestly think you would love your bold?

**burntorange817** · 03-01-2009, 02:03 AM

I had a curve 8310 and liked it...just okay though. So I got an iphone 3G for a few months until the bold came out. So I got it just to try it out. But never did I think a phone would becaome attatched to me like this haha I'm absolutley in love with it. What was your experience??

I originally had the iPhone, then the 3G iPhone. After two crashes, and the loss of lots of data, I ended up with a Curve (8310). I quickly came to see why BlackBerry devices are often, and justfiably so, referred to as 'CrackBerries'. I loved everything about my Curve, and since I was going overseas I ended up giving it away. I realized shortly after giving it away that I could've kept it, but being a gadget junkie I realized I now had an opportunity to upgrade

. So after doing some research I decided on the Bold. I was leaning towards an unlocked Storm until I read it didn't have WiFi. On top of that I don't mind the touch screen, but to me the newness of it had worn off considering I had both iPhones for a combined 18 months. I feel the Bold offers the complete package, and since I won't have a data plan here in Bahrain, WiFi is certainly the next best thing. They sell unlocked Bolds here in Bahrain for $800, and I ended up getting mine for $600 online. A lot to pay, but well worth it in my opinion. All that being said, I don't have mine YET, but I am eagerly anticipating its arrival. This time around I will finish what I started with BrickBreaker

I wanted to like it but I ended up hating the Bold and just returned it back to AT&T. Way to fussy and quirky for my tastes. I'm back to the IPhone 3G, I never had a problem with my IPhones 2G or 3G.

I knew that I would love my Bold from the moment I saw it. I had the first iphone from the first day they went on sale and then I upgraded to the 3G and kept it til the screen started blacking out during calls never to return(until after a reboot). It did this on almost every call so when I saw the Bold I knew that it was meant to be. I love it like that girl who kept you trapped in the friend zone all those years in high school. So much love..just no sex!

I knew I would love the bold before we even knew model number or any specs. when we only knew that it was the first 3G blackberry.

Having come from an iphone 3g...its amazing what the bold can do...

I knew when I touched it - when it finally became mine, that is.

I played with it some at the ATT store, not so much when it was my brother's still cause he's an @ss like that. But when he gave it to me, with that first initial touch, I knew. I knew it would be the phone that would make my life complete (for now).

It helped that my Pearl was constantly pissing me off at the time, and I was way overdue for an upgrade anyway.

Oh my Sweetie, I think you needed a little more than a new phone!

LOL - agreed. Except I don't have the time, so the Bold will have to suffice for now.

**LittleRedDot** · 03-01-2009, 07:30 AM

I originally bought a Samsung Epix because I've always been a Samsung fan, and it had a faster processor that the Bold. And I really loved that phone, but after a week I downloaded a shell from the Windows Mobile site and it crashed my phone. Not only that but someone was able to rund up $545 worth of dls to my wireless bill. Connected, i think so. So I when I took it back they didn't have anymore Epix, and whilst i was waiting around the guy let me play with his Bold. It was the Speed Racer video that sold me. Compared to the Epix it looked like a little HD screen, so I got one.

**Crackberrykills** · 03-01-2009, 07:33 AM

I was a bit dubious about the Bold at first. I was concerned about the size. However, once I got it, I knew I had made the right choice.

Bold is my first ever bb and a friend recommended it. I thought I will give it a try and after using it for a couple of days, I realised that I love it to bits.

Actually I'm addicted more to it because of CB!

I thought my 8320 was amazing. It was my trusty device for a year
But the bold is in a league of its own

Hey I came from the 8800 that was just bare bones BlackBerry and loved it. I knew upgrading to the Bold was gonna send me over the top in addiction!

I have had my bold for three days now and I think that this bb is my favorite and a keeper.

I loved mine so much that I bought a second one for the wife
So I could play with hers as well. She said that she loved her SEWalkman bc it was simple but I hated waiting for her to respond to my texts. Remember rotary phones?

@kstatenupe: you too? I bought my first Bold about a month ago. Three weeks later, I was back in the store buying one for my wife.

Coming from a treo 650 and 700, the Bold is a wonderful device. If Palm had gotten their stuff together, they would be able to compete in the market.

I have had my Bold for a month... and I love it. Just bought my wife an iPhone 2 days ago, and while I have enjoyed playing with her phone, jailbreaking her phone, and putting apps on it for her (technology challenged) I WILL never leave my Crackberry for Apple... while I'm not knocking the iPhone, its great for her, but Blackberry is much more suited for a nerd/geek like myself.

**paso971** · 03-01-2009, 02:12 PM

First of all I though it was too big but damn!!The bold just catched me and wrapped itself around my hand.And the 3G is whoa despite what some people say.I went bold...literally.

**Wireless_Wizard** · 03-01-2009, 02:31 PM

Coming from a loong line of Nokias, I have to say that push email is now essential - that combined with wifi, gps and this incredible screen, the BOLD is a must have, and the current "Daddy" of the bb family - a great device!

It was the best day of my life, the UPS truck came to the door, and the guy gave me my package! I was ecstatic! I ripped open the box, and saw the beautiful Blackberry box, how beautiful even the box was! (I still have the box :P) I opened to the box, and there it was sitting so shiny and beautiful, in all its glory. I became convinced there was such a thing as love at first sight! :P I sat there for a few moments awed! I slowly reached out my hand, and carefully picked up the phone! At that moment I knew, this was the phone for me!

I LOVE MY BOLD!!

**M3CSL** · 03-01-2009, 04:59 PM

i wasnt really thinking much about the bold until i tryed it out now i love it

**pogichinoy** · 03-01-2009, 05:39 PM

I knew straight away that I'd love my Bold, as soon as I researched it and held it in my hands.

**miguel11691** · 03-01-2009, 05:47 PM

I was sceptical about getting the bold at first unlocked as I have tmobile service... And I had the cruve previously.... And I thought it would be the same... So I went with the storm... Boy was I wrong... I had the storm for a week before trading it in for the bold.... I love it....
