BlackBerry News: Hands-On BlackBerry Bold 9000 Review

  • ricpac · 1 year ago
    Thank you! Can I try it out, too? :)

    "Second the browser needs a Flash player. There are too many web sites nowadays that use Flash animations."

    I've missed something here ... I thought the new Bold would be Flash (and YouTube) compatible ... came someone confirm both ?

    Thanks,

    Youtube (via m.youtube.com) is working on any BlackBerry since device software version 4.5. "Flash" support is still missing though.

    The battery life is the only problem at the moment, I hope the "Bedside" mode increases the battery life during the night time...It is youtube compatible, with the media player loading the videos rather than the browser.

    Not sure if I am lucky or not, but my contract does not expire until November which might give me time to look at the Thunder.

    In principal I dont like touch keyboard, I have tried the iPhone and yes it is a great product, but ask anyone if they write long emails and they say no - why would you want to - ask the same thing to a BB owner and they say, of course I do - when I need to.

    What will they say about the thunder - I hope to find out before I am tied into an 18 month contract.

    I have the curve and love it - with 4.5OS it is good and has almost everything I need, I have HTML emails and a better browser - just missing the wifi. My question is will the browser/emails be better on the bold or just a bit quicker due to the hardware.

    In november I'll probably get the bold, but RIM don't make crappy keyboards so I am really excited to see what they do with a touch screen!

    Anyone seen the thunder in the flesh yet?

    Simeon.

    I recently purchased the bold. It's everything this review says and more. It's an amazing phone, I would recomend it over any other phone any day if you can afford it.
