The Bold is such old news. Does anyone really care?

Yeah, I didn't even realize it wasn't out yet? I thought the Storm was the big thing that was coming out to "kill the iPhone"

it was rumored to have been released around the same time the iPhone 3g was. but that obviously did not happen. at&t and rim dropped the ball real good on that one. old news is a understatement.

I'll probably end up getting it to replace my Curve. I might sell my iPhone on eBay for double what I paid and buy the Bold.

Eh, Some of us would like a full keyboard, and some of us need to copy and paste, send picture messaes, email, and other stuff. Now having this and an ipod is ideal. Or you could just get an 8-16 gig micro sd card.

I may pick up the Bold to replace my Sprint Curve. I barely touch my BB anymore though so I'm probably not going to waste my money.

Ok, the iPhone has a "full keyboard" and you can send pictures in a email and do "other stuff". As far as copy and paste. It's coming... trust me. So there goes your whole argument for the most part.

And please don't even go to MMS... MMS is so poor it's disgusting. I have it on my Treo Pro and it compresses the images so much it's pretty much pointless. So much that I send pictures on that device thru email now as well. And don't even try to argue with me on that. It's just a fact that MMS compresses the picture so much it's practically pointless.

Having a BB as a music player is pathetic compared to a iPod/iPhone. Fact - there is not a single better MP3 player or multimedia device out there been these two Apple products. No 3rd party software let alone RIM software on any BB can compete.

And I'm really not against BB but they totally dropped the ball with the Bold. Like I said, old news... Much better devices are being released the next few months - so if you are on the fence for a Bold I'd suggest waiting about a month longer...
