I have the AT&T Bold and mine says it's made in Canada. I love this Blackberry, it's been the best of all my previous BB's!

I have no problems the buttons or effects of my screen. I've even taken mine apart several times to put in colored trackballs and never had any issues with the set-screws. Not sure if that is because as stated it was made in Canada versus other countries, but now it makes me think about it so that if I ever need a replacement Bold I would like the Canadian manufactured one!

DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!! be careful when lifting the ribbon cable off of the main board if you EVER remove your LCD!

I only get the ripple if I apply pressure onto the screen. Otherwise, no ripple. So it's not biggie for me.

my Bold was created by God. It has no effects, there for this thread is biased.

My Hungarian Bold is just fine. No issues whatsoever. I do get a very small amount of ripple when plugging in the charger, but nothing on any of the buttons. Trackball is rock solid. And I frequently pocket mine, sometimes (very infrequently as I don't carry very often) in the same pocket as my .380. AT&T branded BTW, got it on release day when the store opened.

Hi folks
Not sure just what the ripple effect is but after reading this and looking at the box it is made in Hungary also. But am really satisfied with the phone. Of course I just use a few apps mostly productivity and the GPS and I've got to much on my plate to spend time tweaking it to death like I used to do on my truck also...lol....I agree quality issues start with the mfg. QC program and it's implementation.......Happy 4th yah'll

If I have the ripple effect problem can that be something that I can trade in for or do I just have to live with it, because I notice it quite often.

My at&t Bold was made in Canada, no hardware issues so far. I've had it since mid November.

redzapper · #25 07-05-2009, 11:42 AM

Next: the LCD on the Roger's is noticably brighter, sharper, and contrastier @ 100% brightness on both, viewing the same pic, on the SAME OS.

The Roger's is rock solid and the LCD is not affected by button presses.

Roger's BOLD MADE IN CANADA FTW!

Who is Roger, and why do you have his Bold?
