Other than 3g

**jhoop79** · 07-07-2008, 01:48 PM

Other than 3g are there any real perks to getting the bold? I have a at&t curve and they don't offer 3g in my area. So I am asking what would the benefits be for me getting the 9000? Any help is appreciated

The Bold will have more device memory available, nicer screen, better operating system, faster processor... and 3G

I am sure there are more pros... but those are some.

I'm sure there are several more, but for me the other selling factors are the higher screen resolution and wifi compatibility. Also, I'm not sure if all of the curves have GPS.

I'm pretty sure the software upgrades (better media player, video capabilities, better browser) will come to the curve with the new OS release.

It is faster, has a larger screen, bigger camera, external SD card slot, wifi, gps...

If you are looking for the biggest baddest blackberry, get the bold. But if you like the small size and features of the curve, I would stick with it. I personally carry one device around with me, and it sits in my pocket, so I want it to be small. That's why I like the curve. The bold is just too big for my tastes.

i have 3g on my vzw curve, so i wouldn't even call that a perk of the bold.

One of the features I like is that it is going to be compatible with Itunes.
But I believe you can get that now, by upgrading to the 4.5 OS.
I won't download the beta version, so I still don't have it.
So it's still something I'm looking foward to.

Thanks for the help. I think I'm not seeing those pros as a reason to spend that much cash. I was really looking foward to voice and data at the same time.
