I have a question for any of the VZ/RIM phone guys that are always around
.. Due to being sick of VZ i jumped ship today and am awaiting my bold. But my question is when OS 5.0 comes out, will this make the bold browser equal to that of the tour? Because im aware that the Tour will have a better browser (im assuming this is due to just newer software). Once 5.0 comes out is it safe to assume that the bold's browser will handle JS just as well as the tour? Because besides the camera it seems the tour is only ahead of the bold software wise..Last edited by xplode; 07-01-09 at 04:00 PM.
07-01-09 09:26 AM - if both phones are running 5.0 then they will be running pretty much the same browser..your comparison will have to be all about hardware and the Bold blows the tour away in that categoryI have a question for any of the VZ/RIM phone guys that are always around ..

- The tour will have 4.7.1.XXX... software wise its the BEST native blackberry browser... I hope that maybe CX or Radio will either agree with my assumption that once 5.0 is on both devices, the Browser on the bold will be the exact same "best browser" as is currently on the tour. because hardware wise im glad i went for the bold instead of sticking with vzw.. Hardware on the bold is still better (except the screen resolution and camera ).. But really? i dont care because il get the onyx the day it releases

I answered in the other thread as well. Yes when 5.0 is released, the playing field will be level, software wise. As Giant said, the 9000 has better HW than the Tour and will always be quicker.
Until the 9020's release, the Bold will keep the top spot for BlackBerry's.

oh i know your busy man... which would be the software you would choose if you had a choice, well better yet what is the software version your running? I dont have a problem using an official from another network. I will download it now because my lovely bold will be here tomorrow so il have myself all set up for success.. oh Btw, i use 4.7 Desktop mgr, that shouldnt cause any issues right? or do i need to take it back down to 4.607-02-09 10:08 PM - I'm not CX...but having run every updated OS build that's come down the pike since the Bold was released (at least every notable one), I can tell you that you can't go wrong with .266 or .282, as they seem to be the most solid and reliable build versions to be offered so far. However, the only benefit of .282 that I can see, is the ability to toggle between 3G and EDGE...which I actually have never used, personally. Some find that to be a huge deal, some don't. Your choice. So far, there are no downsides to .282, and it's been a good one for me.
Some people have had issues with the BDM 4.7...and it only exists because of the Storm. I have been running 4.6 simply because it has never given me any issues at all. So...if 4.7 works fine for you, no reason to change. If it gives you issues with upgrading...downgrade your BDM to 4.6...07-03-09 10:33 AM - Thank you man i appreciate your input.. I think il go with the .266 just because personally id trust vodafone as a more reliable source. I could care less about the 2G/3G swap feature as where i am is covered in constant 3GI'm not CX...but having run every updated OS build that's come down the pike since the Bold was released (at least every notable one), I can tell you that you can't go wrong with .266 or .282, as they seem to be the most solid and reliable build versions to be offered so far.
