Oh shit! I've never even heard of that until just now! I just google'd it, and it looks great! I was also just about to pull the trigger on getting a Curve too. Nevermind that, this Bold is lookin' nice!

but RIM won't release the BOLD for awhile... If you don't have to deal with a lot of emails, I highly encourage you the N95 8g version.

What're we talking here wait-wise?^ I'd be willing to hold off for a while.

Well, RIM has officially announced the new BOLD, but it will take them months to settle the legal issues in the States (Got the news from an AT&T salesman). Downsides on the Bold, AT&T will be the only carrier for blackberry Bold, and the starting price is around $900.

My safe bet for the bold to hit market will be around beginning of July, after the new 3g Iphone announced.

Blackberry bold has a crappy camera and video camera. Although, the Blackberry bold has a keyboard which is a plus. I think the Blackberry bold looks nice though.

I got mine for $700, so i'm not sure where the $900 came from. The N95-3 US edition is probably the best phone i've had. It is rather bulky if that bothers yo. It doesn't pair the phonebook with the 335i which is a disadvantage if you don't have another phone. I just picked up my first blackberry (curve) recently, so I can't really speak on the comparisons between the two. But the aftermarket apps are terrific. If you're planning to use it mostly as a business phone, I must actually recommend the blackberry or the Nokia E90 as I really did miss a keyboard when typing mail, and blackberry has a more robust email client IMO. But as far as personal entertainment (youtube, movies, mp3), call/sound quality, build quality (the silver/black version has a better feeling material than the silver/brown version), expandable memory (i'm running an 8gb micro card right now, but sandisk just came out with a 16gb micro card), and internet (the symbian s60 internet is actually derived from safari, it renders everything like it should), the phone is nearly perfect.

However, if you're a bit more into show, you might consider waiting for the N96. It looks sleeker, has 16gb memory built in, AND has the new flash-lite 3 software built in.

I thought I was pretty clear on the price of new blackberry Bold, which will be somewhere around $900 (as of now, pre-order price is $899.99).

If you were talking about the N95 8g version, yes, I got mine around $700 6 months ago.

I thought you were saying the price of the N95 was $900. My bad on the confusion.

I've used Nokia N-series and work for a company that writes software for cell phones, so we have alot of them at our dispense for testing purposes.

Nokia N-series are EXCRUCIATINGLY slow....

I've heard all kind of prices from representatives, from $200 - $ 600, so I wouldn't count any of them. If you do a research for some pre-order sells, you will see $899.99 at most of the places (Just the phone itself, not with a plan).
