fuuuck i want that too. trackballs are so crappy. mine gets stuck too often and i hate when it gets that greasy/oily feeling.

seems like the onyx is coming in november??

wat does the trackpad do

Wish I waited for the new one, just picked up the Bold 9000 today.

Ended up calling retentions and got a way better deal than stores. I'm paying a bit more for the phone but less monthly so it pays for itself over the course of 3 years.

i picked up a bold today too. how do i get it out of edge mode and into 3G? i have my bold unlocked and its stuck on edge when i go into the network crap and select 3g it doesn't work at all

Goto Manage Connection on the home screen.
Select Mobile Network Options.
Under Network mode, change it from 2G to 3G.

the problem is because of lint inside around the trackball. if you use a sharp tool, you can pick out the trackball and use compressed air to clean it out.

When you guys order your black bezels n what not off of cnn.cn do your contents ever show up broken?

I'm a little hesitant to order stuff since its just plastic

i can't believe I only bought a bold recently. i've been using an iphone since the day it came out and then when the bold came I went to using an iphone3g and recently the 3gs. if your actually using your "smartphone" for what its meant for and not playing crash bandicoot all day long the bold is the way to go. can't wait for the onyx to come out in november. camera will be a 3.2mp camera and the phone will be faster. what else can you ask for? okay maybe some browser improvements :p

Thats what I said before too, I was only an S60 guy.. Once I used a blackberry for what its supposed to be used for I was hooked

i got my black brezel off ebay. i'll see if i can find the sellers name again. it came with black buttons too.

Well either way it'd have to be shipped, I was just curious if anyone ever had problems with stuff showing up broken. I know how couriers toss things around, I could see plastic stuff breaking VERY easily from being
crushed by heavier stuff

mine came from the states and it was in perfect condition. wrapped in bubble wrap.

Anyone know if its possible to transfer a theme off my phone to the computer?

Ok thats good to know, did you buy the black buttons as well?
I want to order everything at once off cnn.cn but the black buttons arent available in the desired quantity..

when i did the black bezel on my bold, back when i had it, i got all my stuff from cnn. everything was in bubble wrap, no broken parts, very pleasant experience with them.

Thats good to know! I just ordered all new OEM stuff so my used bold will look new again

the one i got came with the buttons already. the only thing i didn't replace was the piece that says rogers.

i ordered all my parts from cnn.cn as well. everything came bubble wrapped and it was all in good condition. the only problem that i had was the black bezel where the media card cover was suppose to be inserted. one of the hinges plastic was broken.

im using an e71 and have been winmo symbian and others for all the time, im set i think im' switching to blackberry now, the only thing is im still debating if i should just get a bold now or wait for others? any suggestions on new upcoming blackberry's or is the upgrade not significant for the wait cuz camera specs is something i dont need, i barely use the camera on my e71 anyways and i was thinking of switching to n97 as its time for new phone but i think im set for the blackberry, just dont know which one

The cameras on blackberries have never been great. I'd suggest a bold, or you could wait for the 9700?

Depends which carrier you want to go with. The Tour is an amazing phone, but has a complete lack of wifi. It is CDMA only, at least to my understanding.

The 8900 is also good, 3.2mp cam but has no 3g. Where it makes up is with 256mb application memory.

The Bold (9000) is the all in one package really. Snappy processor (624mhz I think), 128mb app memory, and great keyboard. If you could wait it out for another month or two for the 9700 (aka the bold 2) I would. There is also Odin (Storm 2) coming out in the fall. Early reviews seem quite promising.

you're right about the tour only being cdma. 8900 doesn't have 3g so if your want to surf the net etc. don't bother with it (at least I wouldn't). The bold is an awesome phone. The storm sucks balls. I bought it right when it came out and I used it for half a day total. (it also isn't 3g) Absolutely nothing good about it other then the 3.2mp camera. get the bold now if you need a phone. sell it when the onyx (9700) comes out. it'll basically be a bold with a more sleek profile, 3.2mp camera, and faster processor. i know i'll be picking up an onyx when it comes out. the bold has literally turned me into a bb fanboy lol (yes its that good) the only reason I even got a blackberry to begin with was sms txts on an iphone can't have an mp3 alert. I did get into the files of the iphone and replace the apple tone with a 30 second mp3 but it was so annoying because it wouldn't turn off until the whole 30 seconds was done. I really hate HTC phone's too. they are way too slow.

Either way I cant see the cameras on Blackberries ever being as good as the dedicated cybershot phones or Nokia's camera phones. Thats just not what theyre meant for.
