So I went to the AT&T store this afternoon to purchase a BB Bold. I picked it up and immediately decided against it. It was bigger than the curve and that back with the pleather was horrible. I checked the file free and it had 20MB. So i'm thinking, what's the big deal here. Other than 3G, and it is very spotty, as I have a AT&T wireless card that is supposed to be 3G but hardly ever is, why would you drop $300 on this phone?
I know it has a faster processor and a few minor tweaks, but $300 worth? I will wait until the new Curve comes out early next year.
the big deal? 3G and the single most beautiful screen ever on a handheld device, as well as a much faster processor and a newer OS (4.6).
yeah but the new Curve, aka Javelin, will NOT have 3G - which blows and i'm still wondering what RIMM was thinking. unless they are still struggling with 3G battery life. it will have a faster processor and WiFi, but really in 2009 does anyone care unless you have 3G?? which, btw, is a lot less spotty than it used to be and is getting better everyday.

I am on sprint with EVDO Nope.. tell me how less spotty it is.. J/k
Ya if it ever comes to cdma then it probably will have 3g right?
Guess I will be waiting a long time before a true upgrade is offered thru VZW.
yup, cuz they're drinking the BB Storm kool-aid. which to me is a different product that is attempting to compete with the iPhone. VZW always marches to the beat of a different drum.

It beats the iphone in some respects.. but the iphone destroys it in others.. And in the end, they are both POS phones IMHO....
I use the BOLD and love it. I had the CURVE and loved that too but wanted the 3G which BTW is 3G almost allllll the time, picking up that better signal.
I loved the feel of the CURVE and switching to the BOLD's wider size was uncomfortable to me too for about one day.
Based on the above, the decision to spend the extra is still yours. I personally think it was worth it for 3G alone, never mind all its other additions and tweaks.
You are on the right road though, BOLD or CURVE, CURVE or BOLD. Pssst, I have the STORM too so remember, BOLD or CURVE, CURVE or BOLD. You go kiddo!
