Thinking of selling my iPhone and getting a Bold..
Soooo about 6 months ago I made a post on here gloating about how I sold my Curve and got an iPhone. Lets just say I use the apps/ipod/ical/youtube features wayyy less than I thought I would and I miss my effing keyboard and copy/paste.
It's been a lifetime in the tech world though so I got a couple questions.
1) I've heard Blackberry has come out with some good apps, do they have some decent ones for facebook/myspace/twitter? How about a decent restaurant/gas station/hotel finder? Movie times? Weather? Truthfully that's about the only apps I use in my iPhone, and having them on any other phone from now on is kind of important now I guess.
2) How well does the Bold synch with a Mac? I used to use Pocket Mac and it was OK, is there anything new out? I would like to synch notes, calendar, pics, photos, video, contacts, music ect. Does all that work pretty smoothly?
3) Speaking of music how does Blackberry's music thing work? Like I said I don't listen to music that much on my phone, but there are some things I would like to have on there. All my music is on iTunes on my computer, how do I get stuff to the phone?
4) I go out of the country once and awhile and I heard the Bold has some kind of 'International' feature, anyone know anything about it? Can I make calls/text/use the internet when I'm in a different country? Does the GPS work outside of the country?
5) Speaking of GPS how well does it work on the Bold? I think I remember it being quicker on my Curve but smoother in the iPhone.
6) Oh and how is the browser on the Bold? I do find the iPhone's browser beautiful compared to the Curve, has Blackberry stepped its browser up yet?
Ok that's about it, I know I'm sacrificing some fun and some user friendliness with the Blackbery, but I really do think I'm ready to go back to the more professional build. I miss PUSH email, I miss the keyboard, and the prospect of video and that beautiful screen on the Bold is pretty damn exciting too. I hope you guys can answer some of these questions for me, any and all feedback is appreciated!
Thanks,
