 BEWARE!!!! 2010-01-24 |
| By J. Lee (Boston, MA USA) |
| I purchased the phone in August, and in January my phone wouldn't turn on. I contacted ATT and they told me they do not give warranty for 3rd party purchases, i would have to contact Amazon.com. I called Amazon.com and they told me about their 30 day return policy and i would have to go through insurance from ATT to get this phone replace. I just want everybody to think twice before they purchase this phone from Amazon.com. Yes it may save you some money on the equipment, but if anything goes wrong with the phone. you are out of luck and the only option you have is pay 100 bucks to get a refurbish phone from ATT that's if you have insurance on your phone. Blackberry does not handle any warranty issues. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!! |
 There are better smart phones 2010-01-08 |
| By Richard |
| I have had two BlackBerry Bolds in the past year my first blew the speaker-phone speaker in the first week I used it. My most recent BB Bold has dying pixels on the screen creating this slowly growing black hole in the upper left section of the screen, I will have it replaced because it is still under warranty and hopefully it will last longer than its predecessors. I have to say I am not very impressed with the blackberry bold, but don't take that to mean I am disappointed with blackberry altogether I do like many of the other products RIM has introduced over the years but I have had nothing but bad luck with the bold and its cheap workmanship. |
| External Speaker Problems 2009-12-25 |
| By Helicoper (Florida) |
I have had the BB bold 9000 for about 9 months now and am now on my 3rd replacement.
Evidentally there is an issue with the external speakers being compressed by the battery door. After a few months you are not able to hear the phone ring if there is any background noise, even with the volume turned all the way up. Hopefully they fix this flaw before my warranty runs out as I don't want to have to rig a $600 phone. There are some fixes to be found on the internet ([...]) but I am not willing to have to work around a engineering flaw.
With that said I love the phone!
Just bought my wife the new bold 9700. Only played with it for a few minutes but so far this looks to be a great phone. |
 It's a phone first, gadget second. 2009-11-19 |
| By GRR (Kansas City) |
| This phone is a high-quality piece of equipment that is just the right size with just the right amount of gadgetry and pizzaz. I didn't want an iPhone b/c well, frankly, it's becoming a sort of marker for the rampant DB population in my opinion--I just wanted a nice phone that I could check email on, surf the internet on the rare occasion I needed to outside of work or home, and communicate with friends via text, FB, and messenger. This phone looks good, is very easy to navigate, and can take a licking and keep on ticking----I dropped it outside my house and it laid in thick dew for 10 hours---started right up the next day when I found it and let it dry out. The screen is absolutely perfect---good size and excellent resolution. The apps I've downloaded are useful and not difficult to navigate--but in all honesty, I don't anticipate using those very much. Great phone, and with the deals they have for it---great price. Get it now before you have to get the redesigned Bold they just released---smaller screen and not as attractive, IMO. |
 Is it the Bold? or is it AT&T? Something is wrong 2009-10-31 |
| By GaryS (St. Louis, MO United States) |
I've had a problem with the Bold since day 1. I've gone through three devices and still have the problem. My phone is echoey, bad service, misses calls, drops calls. It was barely usable. I hated it (still do) until I figured out how to mitigate the problem.
I'm a heavy user of my mobile devices. I put several applications on it that I require. Google maps for directions, eWallet for passwords...actually..that's all I need. I text message a ton, email a ton.
It turns out thatn once I've loaded up my applications, the phone seems to slow down or something. And this "slowness" only presents itself when on a phone call with all the above symptoms. To fix it, I have to wipe the handheld back to nothing and start over. Once wiped, the phone quality is just fine (I almost said great...but I'm so annoyed with the phone I refuse to say it). But if I add the apps back...after a few days, all my symptoms will come back. I hate this...because the GPS is one of the main reasons I got the phone.
I have two bolds on my AT&T plan. One for an employee who only uses it for the phone features. His has no problems. All three of mine had this issue. Having just switched from Verizon, I was blaming AT&T for the longest time since I couldn't imagine how adding a few apps to the blackberry would impact phone quality. But now I think I'm convinced it's the phone. The only thing AT&T will do is replace it under warranty. They also have this thing where if you replace a phone under warranty three times, they'll let you swap out with a different phone OF THEIR CHOICE. That's not acceptable.
So...I'll tolerate this until the contract is over...and I think I'll go back to Verizon with whatever the current version of the Moto Q is. I did like that phone. I've tried the touchscreen ones (Blackberry and iPhone)...and it was too difficult to type. I used them both for a month each...and didn't like it. It's fine for casual use, but intensive typing is too difficult. I need the buttons. |
