    This is my first BB (and my first post on the CB forums)!!! I'm very excited. I've had an iPhone for the past 2 years (2G and 3G), didn't really see the point in "upgrading" to the 3GS and I had been eying a BB for a while now. However, I didn't want to renew my AT&T contract and current VZW BBs leave a lot to be desiered, so I decided to trade my iPhone for a Bold and I am absolutely loving it!

    I just wanted to drop by and say hi to all my newest BB friends! I'm sure we'll be getting to know a lot about each other in the time to come.

    If anyone has any must-know info about the Bold or suggestions, please let me know. I'm a total BB newb, but I'm into phones and technology in general, so I'm sure I'll be picking up quickly!

    Later, all!

    Welcome to Blackberry and Crackberry!

    Out of curiosity, why didn't you see any point in upgrading to the 3GS?

    Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I'm looking forward to learning from all your knowledge!!!

    I felt that the improvements of the 3GS over the 3G were marginal at best. Speed aside, there wasn't much that I couldn't already do with a jailbroken 3G, except for maybe voice recognition. But I didn't consider that a necessity. That in combination with the fact that I've grown tired of Apple's handcuffing of their own device on AT&T's already struggling 3G network, I figured it was just time to go to a device that has no drawbacks on the network. So here we are, lol.

    BB: Calling Jennifer.
    Me: No. Call Mom!
    BB: Calling Tony.
    Me: NO!!!! CALL MOM!!!!
    BB: Calling Jeff.
    Me: AARRRGGHHHH!!!!

    LOL! I know that feeling all too well. That has pretty much been my experience with any phone I've ever owned that had voice dialing. Just terrible...
