The photos should tell the story, YES FINALLY the long awaited Blackberry BOLD is here, I received it today from Aramex (no more USWS).
Its branded with the Canadian Rogers Network but i got it unlocked! 🙂
The difference between the bold and the curve is:
- Got 3G.
- Amazing screen.
- Built in GPS.
- New OS 4.6.
- Built in HTML Email viewer (More advanced than the one in the curve) .
- Comes with MS Word, Power Point and Excel.
What comes in the box:
- Blackberry BOLD.
- USB cable.
- Charger.
- Leather Case.
- Hands free.
- CD & manuals.
Here it is side by side with the curve, it looks a little bit larger than the curve.
But its thinner than the curve.
This is the first blackberry device that impressed me with its build quality.
Finally, from the first impressions i can give it 4.5/5.
I agree with this:
“this is RIM’s best phone ever. Does that mean it’s the phone for you? If you’re a BlackBerry fanatic, yes—it really is the phone you’ve been waiting for, if you’re not hoping RIM radically changed the recipe. Because they didn’t. It’s cleaner and brighter, but it’s not an overhaul by any means. It’s a more powerful and beautiful distillation of the same experience.” – GIZMODO
if your intersted you can get one HERE (this is the site i’ve ordered my curve from) it cost around KD 250, including the Aramex shipping cost.
Congrats bro…..
Looks like u are the first in q8 🙂
Planning to buy it but not so soon… Eagerly waiting for your review
Mabrook
3ala el barakah
whats wrong with USWS ??
what do u prefer and why ? ARAMEX , USWS ??
can u help me with that plz 🙂
I was sooo close to get it, but then I said let me wait for X1 from SE and then see.. So please dude try it and then give us a review about it working here in q8 network and stuff
attractive phone ! but plz advise us if it works well on the MTC’s network, and does it read arabic msgs ?
Mashallah, mabrook o 3alaik bil 3afya : )
mabrook hope you buy polishing kit next time so you can clean up before taking pictures 😛
Roger*s*
The only people who call it “Roger” here are Asian fobs who don’t know what plurals are.
Glen Alaah ebarek feeek o inshalla i will 🙂
mo3ath Alah ebarek feeek .. whats wrong with USWS? ohma fehoom shay sa7 asaan? hathailaa 7aram 3alaihom emsameen nafs’hom shrka! simply fothaaa!
fkj i think the X1 will be having a lot of bugs since this is the first windows based mobile phone from SE, and regarding the bold i can confirm that it works like a charm in Zain’s network.
cruiser As i said above it works with Zain, and for thearabic msgs it doesnt work but i will work on it inshallah.
Pure Thanks 🙂
DVLz Hehehehehehehehehehehe inshallah o sorry for that 🙂
Abid Sorry .. i will update it now 🙂
Mabrouk…post somthing from it

thanks 🙂
mabrook… how did you order it and how is it??? does it work well with zain!!! is it better than the blackberry curve???
konchelski & khaled Here is the link: http://www.negrielectronics.com/blackberry-bold-9000-rogers-unlocked-p-1744.html
Adrenaline im writing this from it 🙂
khaled as i said above it works perfectly with Zain and comparing with the curve its much more advanced.
Dude.. what about the charger, will I need an additional piece for it?
ok im getting OCD now!! So I called a friend who’s in the states and he said that AT&T recollected all their BOLDs and stopped selling them waiting for a newer version. cuz the current one has issues with battery and 3G stuff. Now whats the deal in ur case?
fkj I called a friend who’s in the states and he said that AT&T recollected all their BOLDs and stopped selling them < -- Are you sure your friend in the states? coz AT&T didnt released it yet! check here: http://crackberry.com/another-t-bold-update-dealers-begin-ordering-24th
AND

And regarding the 3G signal mine currently connected on Zain’s 3G ad the battery gives me 24+ hr using (phone + wifi + gps) which i think is fair enough.
fkj and regarding the charger .. what do you mean by “additional piece” ? converter? if its converter the answer will be no coz the charger is a multi voltage.
Ooh yes what I meant that they were supposed to release it earlier in the states but then they postponed it cuz of battery issues. So he called at&t n they said that this battery issue is only in the states, so if u got it from Canada, i.g Rogers, u wont have this kind of problem. Anyway, I just bought it 🙂 o gonna arrive on the 15th inshalla
fkj Then Mabrook and enjoy it 🙂
hey dude whats up.. how is going so far? I just have one other question.. is ur PIN number active? I mean can u use BB messenger and push email?
fkj yes my PIN is active and I’m using my push email and BB messenger.
hi all am trying to get one but some one told me that site mabye not save so i wold like to know is it save and how long it will take if i order it coz i am die 2 have it 🙁

toot Negool el mabroook 3ayal now 😛
ok quick question, do u get 3G signal? if no.. then u get edge or EDGE signal? now. Do i have to get the blackberry service from ZAIN to get an email account and use bb msger?
fkj Yes i do get 3G signal but not all the time, and yes its a must to get bb msger and email working.
Dude.. my signal sucks man. I updates my OS to the latest one .147 but still i get drop signals n BB service is crap, i cant even surf the net. Is it Zain or the phone? do u have the same issues?
fkj what do u mean by “BB service is crap” ? you dont get ur msgs on time ? coz i got mine on time even my signal is normal.

fkj what about the stability ?! this is my only issue with my bold .. and can i know from where you download it?

its flawless man
fkj DONE! Thanks 🙂
let me know how do u find it, and btw, u’ll find alot of help n news from the site i gave u…
dude.. my bold got busted, it wont turn on.. tried everything n did everything u could possibly think of, so do u know any place here in q8 who knows how to deal n fix blackberry fones?
hello mishary,
i have a quick question about the BB service from Zain… i currently have a nokia e71 with the internet unlimited package, but recently found out that they charge 6 fils/kb while roaming… if i switch over to a BB and get the BB world service, is internet while roaming free? is it 3g speed? will it work on a e71 if i switched my sim over to the e71?
sorry for all these questions, but Zain hasn’t been of any help and you seem to have more knowledge than anyone who works at Zain 😀
thanks
