Blackberry Bold or Thunder?

As most of you BB fans already know, the bold is soon to come, but what about the Thunder? I was browsing through articles and the Thunder actually looks pretty decent, I wonder how it will function etc etc... Any of you guys choosing between the two?

Bold


Thunder

I'm waiting for the thunder...I can't wait till it comes out! Last I heard, Verizon said they will have it released on Oct 13. Supposed to be a good competitor of the iPhone

I'll never be completely comfortable using a touch screen. Buttons let you use them blindly and confidently. Plus... the bold is beautiful

I would suggest the bold. I dispise button functionality on a touch screen. But I suppose little buttons don't help much either.

Go for the bold, I have the iPhone and it really isn't the best for typing messages/texts. If the phone is going to used for business applications then I would defininelty say go for the bold instead of the thunder just because of the typing issue.

Also, idk the specs for the thunder but the bold has a very powerful proccessor perfect for running business apps.

Thunder is less complex than the Bold.
Thunder does not have WiFi.
The screen resolution on Bold is much better.
I am not sure about the touch-screen keyboard stuff...

I would have an iPhone if it wasnt for the onscreen keyboard. Other than that, I love my BB pearl.

Well put. And probably not, as I don't think BB would let that happen.

Touchscreens are too hard to use unless you're staring at the screen.

i find BB OS incredibly ugly. And as if that wasn't enough, people make some awful-looking themes to top it off.

Also that stupid MS Sans Comic font that people love to use so much makes me wanna gouge my eyes out with a spork.
