![]() Got it on Monday and i thought some of you would like to see what it looks like. Here are some quick snaps and a video showing some web stuff and some other menu goodies. Its much wider than the Curve it replaced, but the length and thickness is pretty much the same. The menus are definitely prettier which the screen i find is plenty bright and crisp. I'm really diggn the web portion of these new Bolds, finally a BB that displays web properly.... it was such a headache before with the previous gens. Its a little bigger than what im use to seeing that this actually grew in size rather than shrinking like previous gens, but i think im going to get use to that as i use it more. The keys, im having a hard time adjusting to them meaning im always double guessing on what im pressing which takes me longer to type something. What's happening is that I keep thinking im pressing a letter but in reality im actually not, i think its just the layout as the keys seem to be more low profile when compared to the Curve... so it may just be a matter of me adjusting to it. So far im really happy with it, but there are some quirks that i need to play around with to see if its just a config issue or if the phone actually is designed like that. Here's a 66mb video file that shows you it in action. |

![]() How's the keypad? More like the one of Curve or 8800? It looks like the latter one from the pictures to me, but I can't quite tell if there is any space between the keys. P.S. I hate keypad on my 8800.

I got real excited when RIM went from the 7000 to the 8000 series but this just isn't doing much for me. Thunder might be cool though. G.I. Bro can you post some still photos from the camera? Is the camera any better in this? |

![]() Because the screen size is smaller, the Bold screen is "better" than the iPhone's (in terms of resolution, not necessarily for watching video). It's a sight to behold, even side-by-side. The difference in readability is astounding between the 88xx and Bold. The UI is more polished as well and looks good with the new screen. I also kind of liked the faux-leather backing. Of course, from what I've read, battery life is about equal to the iPhone now, which sucks.

![]() I initially thought the same, ahhhhh big deal, but if i go and pick up my Curve it just feels dated to me. Yes, it does 90% of the things that this can do, but, ive been spoiled too much with newer tech and i cant see myself going back. As for the camera, i think its the same thing. I dont have any shots to show you, but i did take a movie this afternoon. Its a 4.5mb 3GP file. Ill take some pics tomorrow. |

![]() I laid down the text graphics on the keyboard... and the rogers symbol. The bold is nothing. Wait till you see ... the bomb they planted inside my brain. *ahem* Last edited by VVanks : Aug 27, 2008 at 12:54 PM. |

![]() Some people dont appreciate good work when they see it ![]() Seriously, it looks sweet. By buddy works in server tech support or something at RIM, he's been beta testing the 9000 for a while now. Ass is always bragging about how nice his phone is. I can't wait to try this phone out, bye bye iPhone. |

![]() haha. Well, the ball is pretty good once you get used to it. That's the thing with BlackBerrys. you give it to an ordinary person, and they go... wow! what do i do??? It's so complicated... And you try to take it away from a blackberry user and they'll slap you for touching it. We're trying to change that problem. How's HP treating ya? |

![]() I'm no longer on the Industrial Design team so no, you won't see any of my stuff coming out anytime soon (on within the next few years at least). I'm on the concept team, which is even fricken better. |
