As I was buying my blackberry, the guy at the store said "Only men get the Bold" !?!
- Wow, what a lame thing for him to say to you. I was interested in the Bold but t-mo didn't have it. Then I fell in love with the 8900 and have been very happy...but yeah, female here who's original interest was in a Bold. So he was making a blanket statement which isn't true in all cases.

But of course, it's just a phone. I don't think many people, male or female, consider their phone to be a crucial part of their style. Thus they are more concerned with how it operates rather than how it looks.
Also, I have to disagree with the notion that small phones are better suited to women than men. I think it's actually the opposite in most cases. Men don't carry purses, so we have to keep our phone in one of our pants/jacket pockets. Small phones have a clear advantage in this regard. Of course many of us use big phones like the Bold, but we're sacrificing form for a large screen and keyboard.
Women face no such dilemma. Most could carry a circa 1990 brick with no trouble. Although I suppose for girls with very small hands a phone such as the Bold could be a bit unwieldy during one-handed operation.
Personally, I'm looking forward to the Onyx as a potential compromise between the Bold's features and the Curve's small size.06-22-09 12:25 AMLike 0
