Very simply, should I invest in this handset over the Curve 8900 or the 16GB iphone 3G? I've used a Blackberry 8800 for two years and I'm due my upgrade this month. Either of these three would be a step up, but I want to make the right choice.
I know the Curve has no 3G so it get's left behind somewhat, but both the Bold and Iphone 3G are great all rounders. The Bold winning simply becuase of it's focus towards business and compatibility with MS Office programs (which I use for work).
I'm worried the Bold may not have the great battery life RIM state. The previous comments state that in full flow, this handset will die pretty quickly> Any truth to this?

Hello,
I have to buy either E90 or Blackberry Bold. I am leaning towards Blackberry due to its size. Has anyone tried both and can help decide? Only thing missing in Blackberry Bold seems to be the radio. I believe there are now third party tools that will enable editing excel files, using skype etc. on Blackberry? Do either of these phones sync with the subfolders in address book? Any help/information will be appreciated. Thanks

To Hendrico:
I have discovered the same problem sincronizing it via data cable. Then I downloaded free softwere from blackberry.com and reinstalled it. It seemed the softwere on CD to be an old version all something like that. Now everything is working perfectly.
Hope this helps.

I've own this device for 3 months.
Pros:weak battery life time-with full charge,about 20 min of talk time a day,2 SMS it lasts for approximately 75 hours not a 320 h that blackberry states; poor camera quality for it's 2mpx and flash...;if you are going to travel a lot and have an unlocked device you may have a difficulties with the coverage abroad with a local SIM card.
I cannot argue about the voice quality and Blackberry message service.I believe that it is one of the leaders !
Anyway I dont think that the Bold is worth to spend $600 (without a contract).

Hi All
I've recently taken the big step and got my first BB.
Albeit very frustrating there seems to be a lot of potential.
One frustration is the Sync with my PC. This takes a good 5 minutes and 9 times out of 10 it gets this error "unable to read application data".
Any idea why this is? (I sync with bluetooth)
Thanks

In Malaysia, BB Bold 9000 is consider new since storm are not in the market yet. But what i found after using it for a month is this phone is better of than the other series. All the features are good especially the BB messenger. Reliable and worth to buy. I bought for only RM 1500.
But the leather casing are suck.. they call it 'Stylish Casing??" its more like a kids coin wallet...
