No 3G on the Javelin, FTL.

The only thing better that the Javelin will have is a 3.2 MP camera. I use 3G data way more I do my camera though.


Bold has 3G, FTW.

I've been reading first quarter of '09.

Around forums like crackberry.com, the 15th has been the most common date I've seen. Its released in Germany already so now it just depends onhow soon it releases here.

I'm not convinced yet. I read Crackberry as well and the only glimmer of hope comes from Rogers & T-Mo Germany getting theirs. Stillthough...

You have to go to your account on your service provider's website (T-Mo.com or ATT.com or whatever) and go to BES Information where you canfill out which e-mail (including the password) which e-mail you want forwarded to your Berry.

I dont think the 8900 is coming out this month. Next month for sure though.

Doing it now

Is there anyway to get someones info from there BB pin. I got some random person adding me on BB messenger. I added since I was wondering who it will be sinceI haven't gave out my Pin to anyone.

Also is there anyway someone can get your Pin without you giving it out to anyone?

Name is Robert Zimmerman. His/Her Pin is : 319F55F1

I asked who it is all they said was your mom. So someone is messing around with me, but I never gave out my Pin.

8900 "should" drop this month for AT&T, right around Christmas.

TMO "should" get it in January, but it could be sooner, as the word on the street is they're trying to push it out ASAP. Production on T-Mobilebranded 8900's has started though, so that can only be a good thing.

And all this comes from a reliable, knowledgeable dude who posts on BGR.com, who I'm sure some of you are familiar with.

I'm excited about the Jav though. I wanted the Storm, but after messing with it for about 30 minutes, I was underwhelmed. And the Bold is tough--didn'tlike the size at first but after a second time messing with it at the AT&T store, I gotta say its dope as hell. I'm tempted to switch to AT&T now,but I may just ride out my TMO contract until July with the 8900 and then switch it up.

my brother will be happy about the javelin

I've been in Verizon stores were the demo Storm had the original software and an employee let me play with his personal one that had been updated. The difference is significant, but that doesn't mean ALL the issue are fixed, just some easily noticable ones. If I go Bold, I can move to an improved Storm down the road, it's RIM's first touchscreen, it's not like the iPhone was perfect when it came out.

Let me ask you this...is the Bold "pocketable"? It seems sort of wide/bulky. I put it in my pocket in the store, and it seems ok, but it was just for a few seconds, I'm not sure if it would get annoying or not.

the bold feels like it would fit fine in the pocket but i used the hip-case provided by RIM. i never liked the idea of having my phone in the samepocket as my keys/coins/etc. also if you pocket the phone i heard there have been issues w/ lint getting into the trackball and affecting its accuracy. justsomething to think about

blah!

Been less than a full day, but this damn thing is pretty neat.

 

[twig1026]

"Input system error. The system is being restarted" ...happens every now and then while I'm on the web browser but it never restarts or let'sme do anything until I restart manually or battery pull. Any reason this error comes up? I have the bold with the original os version and a few 3rd party appsinstalled (viigo and google maps)

 

[food4thgt]

Anybody get the SOS as a signal???

I read that if i hard reset my phone that it will go away...

Can anybody confirm this...?

 

[repinqueens]

what phone is better for INTERNET use

cuz sometimes I get sick of the ball on my curve... does the storm do the job? as far as like using opera i guess is what I'm asking.

honestly, no blackberry browser will ever be GREAT, but i'm sure the storm will be better than most simply due to the large screen n the fact its atouchscreen. if you want a media/internet device i'd suggest an iphone or an itouch (if you have wifi). the blackberry browser gets the job done but if youwant a full experience apple is where its at

blah!

 

[soulize dp]

4.6.0.210 beta OS firmware for the Bold is out...I installed and it's the BEST update so far...I highly suggest installing it for Bold users...

Best reception and call quality so far
Best battery life so far
Fixes unclickable links in Browser
Fixes font issues in Browser
Zippier menu transitions
Browser is slightly faster than .190/.185

Only problem is it is beta so I can't direct you to download, but google search is your friend.

Yes, 3g service is not everywhere. So you are out of 3g range.
