Customer Reviews |
 No customer loyalty. 2010-07-26 |
| By Matthew Butler |
| Blackberry Bold is fine. AT&T is opportunistic and ruthless when it comes to replacing phones or working with their customers. After 10 years, they just told me that my recently purchased and accidentally damaged phone (for which I didn't opt for insurance that would have had a $150 deductible) will cost me $450 to replace. Same phone is going for less than $200 for anyone else. Disappointing. |
| Favorite Yet! :D 2010-07-08 |
| By ncap |
| I bought this phone a couple months ago and I love it. The screen is amazingly bright and clear. The phone takes great pictures (with flash!) that are crisp and colorful- even when you blow them up on the computer screen. It syncs quickly and easily with my computer. The internet and wifi are both easy to use and speedy! The only complaint I have at all is the battery life. My old Curve lasted days with heavy use but with this one- I use it about half a day and it's dead. I do suggest an extended battery just in case and a car charger as well. I love the amount of memory built into the phone and it's design. It's the perfect size and build. |
| Easily the best phone I've owned 2010-07-06 |
| By Aaron S. Goldhammer (Agoura Hills, CA USA) |
| This phone is amazing. It has survived dropps, two drops in the toilet (accidental of course), and several other mishaps and it still works amazingly. The apps are great, the GPS is great, the signal is great. The only bad thing is it's memory management. You get the infuriating hourglass every now and then which requires a restart. |
 The BEST decision I have ever made in choosing a cell phone !!! 2010-06-10 |
| By L. ALEJANDRE (California) |
| OMG, this is by far the best chose I have made in choosing a cell phone. I love it ... Never been so damn happy in my life with this chose. I have a Blackberry 8310 and love it and ready to upgrade with AT&T and decided to chose another BB... I looked at each one and decided to choose the BB bold white 9000. WOW, do I love this cell phone. The keys are soft and so easy to use. The style is cute and I honestly "just love it". I am new at the internet stuff but find it so easy to get on line and search what ever it is that I need. The phone is self explanatory as far as the other BB just more of a upgrade in itself. I just love it. The size is GREAT!!! If you are looking to upgrade Amazon is the place to go and there service is GREAT as well. I had no issues getting it up and running and Amazon's customer service was great. I just love it... |
 First smart phone, last Blackberry 2010-06-03 |
| By Ganj Ahmad |
This purchase has been one of my biggest disappointments and a cause of a lot of frustrations. The only reason I chose the Bold over the iPhone is because I liked to have a keyboard. However, within six months the phone started malfunctioning.
First, the phone started freezing every once in a while and I had to wait five to ten seconds for the phone to respond again. I thought this could be due to all the apps installed on the phone, but uninstalling the apps changed nothing and the phone still freezes every day.
The memory on this phone is laughable. I only have four or five apps installed (each is less than 3 MB in size) yet the memory meter shows that I am running out of memory. I purchased a 4 GB mini SD card but apparently you cannot save apps to the card.
The App Store (Blackberry App World) is by far the most frustrating part of the phone. Most of the time it times out or gives you a range of error messages. When it does connect successfully, you realize that there aren't any good or cool apps to install. Also, the apps that are free or cost very little on the iPhone cost an arm and a leg on the Blackberry! There are very few good apps for the Blackberry that are free (or costs $3 or less).
Internet browsing is extremely slow, even in 3G. In fact, I don't think the browser is meant to be used for surfing the net. I installed Opera Mini instead and that has been working fine, except you cannot multitask with Opera so you have to close it every time you want to do something else.
General problems with connecting to the Internet. I'm not sure if this is a problem with Blackberry or the service provider (AT&T in my case), but most of the apps have problems connecting to the internet. The only app that almost always connect is the Opera Mini. Google Mobile App, Movies (by Rotten Tomatoes), and other apps all have problems connecting.
Some apps are simply not well configured to work with the Bold. I have WikiMobile and every time I open it I receive a warning saying "the app is trying to connect to the internet". I changed the permissions settings to allow it to connect, but I still receive the warning message every time which is very annoying. The same is true with Opera Mini. Finding solutions online and on discussion forums seems quite impossible.
The quality of the Bold is definitely subpar. I have had the phone for one year now and it no longer opens my e-mail messages (which triggered me to write this review), the trackball is not as smooth as it used to be, and the freezing (seizures?) are becoming more frequent.
I still think this phone is an upgrade from my previous non-smart phone and I love the Google sync, the calendar, the ability to create .txt files, conversation style text messaging, and visual voice mail. However, the next time I buy a smart phone (which will not be until next year, when I am eligible for an upgrade with AT&T), it will definitely not be a Blackberry. |
