Bold coming to Sprint this quarter...
Engadget had a short article on the Sprint branded bold..nothing we already didn't know on the "niagara" except maybe more memory. Just interesting to see it may be available sooner than we thought..
Fun rumor du jour: BlackBerry Bold coming to Sprint this quarter - Engadget Mobile - 01-03-2009, 01:23 AM #2
I wouldn't belive that.

Posted here already http://forums.crackberry.com/f83/rum...int-q1-128379/ but I would say Engadget is going to be wrong.

My 2 cents - The rumor mill is growing with rumors from different sources, other than the Storm on Verizon, CDMA has not had anything new in a while. At Sprint, the 8830 is not even in the stores any longer and I have read elsewhere that inventory is dwindling (yet another rumor). Pearl's are also going, going, g...well moving out the door at both Sprint and VZW (Best Buy said Sprint stopped shipping them Pearls). New CDMA devices are coming, IMO. Will any hit either carrier by March 31? Still a good question, but I believe Sprint will have something in late Q1/early Q2. And VZW will probably get Niagara within 30 days of Sprint - if Sprint even gets if first!

Bgr ran this article as well, sweet jesus thank you for not letting me end up with a storm! I want the niagra fo reals! Although I can't upgrade till september so who knows probably something even better by then!
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 01-03-2009, 04:43 PM #8 I like it A LOT. everyone was bashing the "form factor" my only problem with the bold is it's size this device looks like one sweet *** perfect size device!

I think this rumor is correct. Engadget is normally on point with their predictions....

not holding my breath on this one. Dan Hesse needs to get a handle on the lame phones Sprint heaves at us. The bootleg iphone clones, trashy sliders, and crappy flips are the reason Sprint is bleeding so many subscribers. Nobody wants to be behind the curve on technology. Originally Posted by hudss

I've considered jumping ship a few times but the value provided by sprint is just not available with any other provider. Sprint is a great service provider... just those crap phones and horrible marketing. Hopefully 4g will give sprint the edge it needs. hopefully the are working with device developers to quickly roll out some nice 4g devices. - 01-09-2009, 03:16 AM #13 Actually, I love my curve! And I think plenty are behind the Curve when it comes to technology. And the new Curve is near perfection!Nobody wants to be behind the curve on technology.
I know you don't mean the Blackberry Curve, just thought it was a good play on words.
Still, I have Sprint and they carry the 8330, my wife and I have one each. I never considered a BB until the Curve. I just thought they looked silly when people used the phone. The Curve was their smallest model to date w/QWERTY keyboard, and that clinched it for me. I will never own a different device.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 01-09-2009, 09:14 AM #14 I don't know many people that left Sprint just because their equipment selection sucked... Though if they had a decent selection they might attract more new subscribers (i.e. att/iPhone)... Originally Posted by cvaria
I switched to Sprint from AT&T because of my job, and dropped them within a few months because their coverage is awful. Anybody who leaves or joins a network based on available equipment is an *****. I first got ATT because, at the time they had the best coverage. They lost it. I have verizon now... because, well, they have the best coverage right now.
Though I will say Sprints data was the fastest I've ever used... when I had service. - 01-14-2009, 10:00 PM #15

01-15-2009, 02:51 PM #17 I'm willing to bet my 401k that Sprint will get the Bold 9030 Q1-Q2.
- 01-15-2009, 03:13 PM #18
OK, is that REALLY a 401k? Or is more like a 101K or in my case a .01K??

I'm no insider but everything I've come across is that Storm has been a great seller for Verizon. - 01-18-2009, 11:49 PM #21 WeedLuva eh? Well its been proved that weed causes permanent brain damange to the smoker... so the condition of your mental faculties are no longer in doubt especially after your brilliant comments above. Thanks for sharing. Throw in a few more exclamations with your next post, Drain Bamage!!!!!?????!!!!!! Originally Posted by W33dLuva

It really depends on your service area as to which provider is best. - 01-19-2009, 05:19 PM #23 As far as the literature out there goes... Theres plenty of literature outlining the cognitive impairments that develop after regular or heavy use of cannabis. Originally Posted by MykeHype

However, there isn't much support that it causes a whole lot of gross brain "damage". As far as I could find doing a quick search on pubmed.com this is the only thing that really came up:
http: //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18424082?ordinalpos=5&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez. Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPan el.Pubmed_RVDocSum
I would argue that anything thats causing long term changes in the brain that result in cognitive impairments is "damaging" at least to that person's ability to function appropriately.
Alternatively, there may be considerable brain damage occuring in key areas that don't turn up as loss to entire structures but may be something more sensitive, i.e. damaging to the connections between neurons, such as their axon/dendrites, synaptic buttons, receptors, vesicular transporters, or neurotransmitters, which may not be detectable using crude imaging techniques such as fMRI, MRI, PET or CT.
Just my 2 cents... - 01-20-2009, 12:26 AM #24
At first I thought you were joking asking for a citation... but maybe not.
Studies do one of two things: they either confirm the obvious, or they are wrong. If anyone really thinks that smoking coupius amounts of cannabis doesn't cause brain damage then they have smoked too much to observe the obvious. All one needs to do is spend a few minutes with a stoner to see that the brain is not functioning correctly.
But for those who need a "study" to affirm was obvious:
Long-term Cannabis Users May Have Structural Brain Abnormalities
"... daily use might indeed be toxic to human brain tissue."
