The new Blackberrys feel cheap and poorly designed. I used to have 2 of them in the 9000 series that were excellent for rolodex storage but terrible as phones. I switched to iPhone and love it.

"I love my iPhone/MacBook/other Apple product."

"I owned a Zune and hated it."

How to get a high-ranking comment on Engadget:

"I don't know why everyone complains about Vista. I've been using it for a year and it's been working perfectly."

"Screw Apple."]]>Aug 21st 2008 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Or is it everyone who doesn't like apple/hate ms is a fanboy?]]>Aug 21st 2008 12:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 21st 2008 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 21st 2008 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 21st 2008 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 22nd 2008 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 21st 2008 11:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 21st 2008 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 21st 2008 1:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 21st 2008 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 21st 2008 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 21st 2008 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/

The 3 year contract isn't a commitment to the price/plan/phone, it's a commitment to the network. If there was more competition up here, 3 years would be ludicrous, but unfortunately there isn't.

When going back to Rogers I only wanted to sign up for a year at most, but to get a halfway decent plan they require you to be on a three year term. Since they have a really good student plan right now, I decided to just bite the bullet and sign my soul away for another three years.

Yeah, I'll be locked in with them once the other GSM networks are up, but who knows, maybe that will force them to be more competitive to keep customers.]]>Aug 21st 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/

Check the new "debunk" video here on Engadget. Bold still takes 59 seconds to load the page over wifi while the iPhone takes 35 seconds.

The iPhone is great for what it is, but it certainly is not a Blackberry replacement for many serious Blackberry users...]]>Aug 21st 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 21st 2008 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 22nd 2008 12:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/C'mon AT+T, get this phone ready soon at a reasonable pricepoint/service plan!!!

I clicked on the comments link hoping to find some info on people trying to purchase the Bold, not some stupid iPhone vs. BB debate.
This site is filled with this cr*p, along with the rest of the internet.

So how about something relevant, like how I spoke with a few Rogers employees at various stores this morning and heard there will be a very small shipment coming in. Due to such small stock only the corporate stores will be getting them (Rogers Plus and Rogers Video). It is worth noting that I am in Calgary, AB and it might be different elsewhere.

Now thats the kind of post I would like to be reading when the title of the thread is "The BlackBerry Bold gets official on Rogers" not "iPhone vs Bold, Come Debate Why Yours Is Better"]]>Aug 21st 2008 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/
I'm a BlackBerry user and an owner of a MacBook, iPod, and an HP desktop. I don't sit here saying why my things I own are so great. I buy them because they suit MY needs. I love all of my gadgets and I wonder how many people buy products because it suits their needs and tastes versus what they just want or what society wants...

But the internet allows freedom of expression and opinion, so I suppose we have to just deal with it.]]>Aug 21st 2008 4:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/

Bold is not a revolutionary product and is built on the stregth of previous models.
They are hoping to get the 8700 crowd on board with that device as an upgrade.
There are so many 8700 users that have frowned at the perarly-curvey options and couldn't see why 8800 would justify an upgrade.
The Bold is hopefully enough reason to forego that 8700 workhorse and move on.
As for the iPhone vs BB... well get a grip...when a person using BB everyone thinks that person is working when you see an iPhone for some reason the feeling is quite the opposite and this is the uphill battle for the Apple and of course the other way around for the Rim.]]>Aug 21st 2008 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/Aug 21st 2008 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/21/the-blackberry-bold-gets-official-on-rogers/
