I really liked the Blackberry 9000's jog dial rather than these stupid pearl controllers. Its just too bad you end up getting carpul tunnel from them.]]>Jun 25th 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/Jun 25th 2008 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/Jun 25th 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/touch screen comment. I disagree with it as well, but you dug way
too deep man. You didn't bother to mention anything about the chrome
trim or respond to the main points of his post. People get all pissy
whenever they see the word iphone in an article that is about a
different phone.]]>Jun 25th 2008 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/Jun 25th 2008 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/
And for what it's worth, PatD.'s comment did a nice job covering that base. ]]>Jun 25th 2008 11:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/Jun 25th 2008 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/Jun 25th 2008 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/Jun 25th 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/
The jog dial sucks. Long live the trackball. I love how you think the trackball causes carpal (sic) tunnel but the old jog dial (which you can only use right-handed) didn't?]]>Jun 25th 2008 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/Jun 25th 2008 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/Jun 25th 2008 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/
Also, wouldn't the release date affect all carriers with the Bold? Even with this rumor, Rogers seems to still be eyeing a July release date. I guess we'll have to see if this is in fact true or just another rumor.]]>Jun 25th 2008 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/Jun 25th 2008 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/
In my opinion the iPhone has it where it counts.

Say anything good about the iPhone in the Engadget comments section or criticize any aspect of any iPhone competitor and be prepared to be voted down to oblivion.

Blackberry is great. iPhone is great. Buy what best fits your needs and spare us your ridiculous rantings.

Move on people. Were comparing Apples to Apples (pun intended). Either way you end up being a pawn to marketing.]]>Jun 25th 2008 3:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/

Don't get me wrong RIM make a nice phone in this form factor but the E71 is a far more functional device and the white one's should appeal to the iPod fanatics .

Finally I've said it before but repeating for the sake of it .. Apple != freedom the iPhone 3G is all the evidence you need.]]>Jun 26th 2008 6:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/25/blackberry-bold-release-date-delayed/
Pumping up a product in the media, even through clever "leaks" of release dates, then remaining silent is bad business practice and will ultimately hurt sales.

Coincidentally, I received a brief "pump" message via email, as I had signed up for the BOLD mailing list. It was nothing but that, just pure pump with no useful information. Was this a prelude to a release? Why did you waste my bandwidth otherwise?

Try to ask RIM a question about the BOLD (such as features and compatibility) and they will stick their nose up at you.

Sure, as a consumer I understand things happen and releases get delayed. But this has been a pointed campaign to promote the BOLD phone, everywhere. And so, release dates come and go, people speculate - RIM protects itself by not officially giving out information (even though the "leaks" are no different than political leaks)... what am I to think as a consumer about this?

While I've no doubt this will be a great phone, RIM needs to improve its public relations.
