you can use Blackberry with Prepay.. but if you use prepay you can not use BIS or BES which is main point people using Blackberry.

i can 100% recommand this device to anyone.
i am using Blackberry for around 5 yrs now. and its the best Blackberry ever.! i have also used iPhone & HTC touch Pro but this Phone is Rock.!

good things about Bold:

Fantastic Screen !!! so Clear screen made easy to watch movie ... (using Xvid and Divx)

Great Keypad. ! Improved keypad !from Curve. very easy to use.

Design>.! very nice design.!

Sound: it has Stereo Sound ! and Great Speaker Quality

now. Bad things about this phone:

Battery life: is shock.! this is due to it has wifi and 3G however if you do not use them you can turn wifi off and turn it to 2G( it actually doesnt really matter if you just receive emails. not very different from 2G and 3G) .. this saves battery life a lot.!

Camera: for me i dont use camera so it doesnt really matter for me to have stupid camera

PRice: very expansive.! i have paid this phone for $1200 NZD without Contract.


Overall: i am very happy with this and Recommand to other to buy it.! once try Blackberry and will never go back to other device.!

          Using Bold with BES. The best BB so far. Better than Storm actually. Didnt like the touchscreen keyboard on the Storm. Bold is very quick and easy to use. GPS works great with 3rd p applikation.
          Only thing I'm not impressed by is the camera. Only 2 MP and not very good. Should at least be 3,2 (minimum).
          Ive been using E90 for a year now and Bold feels easier to use and faster.

                My mum just bought my set from singapore. I was just wandering how come my set has VODAFONE name on the phone. Can someone explain to me the difference between the one without the word VODAFONE and the one which has.

                Does it mean that my set is not original?
                What is the downside of having the VODAFONE set?
                Fyi, we don't have vodafone service in my country.

                Hope someone cal clarify my thoughts. Thanks
                Hope to hear from anyone soon.

                          Looks good but a little bigger than my 8320! It's a 3G phone but not capable of video calling..*sucks*. I would rather get the Nokia E71...It's 3G, video calling and video streaming capable...more to offer than the Bold =S.

                            No FM Radio and only 2MP camera. It is okay.

                            What'd you say about browsing/Internet same as Nokia E71? Like E71 supports full HTML flash sites.

                                    Hi guys.

                                    One last question regarding updating the OS.

                                    My phone is sim/network locked. Can i still install the newer version of the OS?

                                    Just wanted to know before making a big mess out of it.

                                    Thanks for your help!!

                                      Hi All,

                                      I must say the battery life is very bad, but that is due to the fact that like was mentioned in a previous post, it uses a processor. And is also continuously receiving mails / messages.

                                      I have found however that if you disable your bluetooth and extra apps from running all the time your phone should last 1 full day, calls included.

                                      Good idea to keep a car charger or APC battery pack (USB) near , just in case.

                                      Apart from this problem , the phone is really a fantastic business phone, and has almost any function you need to get by.

                                      Regards,
