  • Pros
    Easy to use and quick!
  • Cons
    forgetting passwords sucks!

First time BB user coming from iPhone, the Bold is a welcome change! It's an interesting unique phone that, in my books, goes above and beyond the iPhone in most respects (browser excluded). I'm a uni student and this phone completes my life xD

  • Pros
    my fury towards this phone
  • Cons
    the phone itself

I am absolutely devestated that I purchased this phone. As a 20 year old student Ive always had a very basic pre paid phone, as Ive never been able to afford an expensive plan. I reluctantly decided to switch to a plan 7 months ago and opted for the BB smart phone (the sales guy in the 3 mobile told me it was a good choice). only a few weeks after purchasing this phone it started freezing and I had to continuously take out the battery and restart the phone. Just recently it started playing up (freezing and flicking applications eg. id be messging and it would automatically got to fb, and certain keys werent working) I returned it to the shop to be fixed, after 2 weeks with no phone it was returned to me unrerpaired as warranty does not cover THE APPARENT WATER DAMAGE THEY FOUND..TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE PHONE DID NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH WATER HOWEVER fine print gets blackberry out of repairing damages or replacing the phone if they can claim water damage (whether or not it is or isnt). DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! if you do wrap it in cotton wool!....READ THE FINE PRINT! IPHONES OFFER BETTER DEALS
