also, can anyone clear up some questions i have concerning the BB messenger. if i don't have a data plan and use wifi would i still be able to send/receive messages through MSN using the BB messenger software?

You need a Data plan.

hwo much is this phone if u do a hardware upgrade?

!Shuya80 08-25-2008 06:12 PM

^^ask customer service. it'll most likely be around 624.99 or so...if u add data it'll be cheaper but it has to be 3 yrs. so get the $30 6GB and ur good to go.

599.99 buyout price? where u seeing this...it's 649.99 b4 tax at my store...

avinayyar 08-25-2008 07:15 PM

Buy Out price is $649.99 @ Rogers. Other stores, Like Celtek are $675 + Tax.

i got it for 399 on a hardware upgrade


i know its not really a big deal, but it kinda sucks that the caller id photo is teeny tiny! i miss the whole screen photo on the iphone :(

pinay_racer 08-26-2008 06:26 AM

really have you been on rogers for awhile the guy at rogers charged me 549 for mine.. i dont think that is a hardware upgrade price!

babyshortie 08-26-2008 09:31 AM

yeah i've been with rogers for a long time, but i've renewed my contract with them many times. so i was already on a contract when i upgraded. i technically wasn't supposed to be allowed to upgrade because its limited to apparently one a year. i did my upgrade about a month early

+Kardboard+ 08-26-2008 09:54 AM

babyshortie, how long have you been with Rogers?

avinayyar 08-26-2008 02:41 PM

Anybody knows how to Geo Tagg pictures on Bold?

babyshortie 08-26-2008 03:56 PM

6 years maybe? i've had a customer retention plan for probably at least 4-5 of those years

When you're in the camera mode, hit the menu button and go to options. There's a geo tagging option there...


Off topic here...

I got my Bold yesterday and I love it so far! It's my first Blackberry, so I didn't know what to expect... Well I put a cellphone strap on it. Is it considered kinda stupid to put one on a Blackberry?

+Kardboard+ 08-27-2008 03:51 PM

No, that's actually pretty brave and awesome. Also, it needs to be a Domo-kun strap...ahahah

!Aznboi128 08-27-2008 03:52 PM

was just trying to use it today.... wow its horrible!

the thing is huge the curve is much better choice and it doesnt feel solid like the e71, very plastic feel.

I really don't like it but i guess its not bad. The phone can play great movies the screen is awesome but other then that its pretty bad.... would not suggest

XTC_604_DKNY 08-27-2008 05:35 PM

i have it and love it, but i can't say for other people.
but all i can say is the battery life is terrible......
8am-6:30pm i went from 100% battery to 20% battery
i turned off wifi and bluetooth and went from 3g to 2g just to see if there's a difference.
must be because of my msn messenger running in the background or something :(

bossxx 08-27-2008 07:24 PM

^ How long have you had it? THe battery might take a day or two to get into a good cycle.

Harvey Specter 08-27-2008 08:29 PM

The bold sure is sexy. Our work is upgrading all BB's to the Bold but it'll be another few weeks before we get them.

Saywhat? 08-27-2008 09:16 PM

Got mine today at the Cellmart on Davie!
Love it!!

XTC_604_DKNY 08-27-2008 09:55 PM

redliine, i've had my phone for 2 days now but officially just started using it today. i think the msn really drains the battery a lot...
i'm going to try one full day of the usual text but no msn, and one full day of text and msn (at work) to compare

TirelessTongue 08-28-2008 03:33 PM

So is there no way to get the cheap new customer price if I'm already a Rogers customer? I've been with them about 4 years and the upgrade price they quoted me is $549 which is lame. I'm almost thinking to ask my brother to use his thieving and scamming ways to get me one.

Gh0stRider 08-28-2008 04:25 PM

They said the same thing. The only way to get one for 399 is to change your number and sign a contract. Call into retentions, and see what they can do for you.

TirelessTongue 08-28-2008 05:38 PM

Talked to someone at Rogers and the only thing they could suggest is to wait a couple of months till the price drops down... of course that's no good since the $30/month data plan expires at the end of September.

I'm now considering the unthinkable--get an iPhone >.<
