Hi Fatreg,
E90 is resting just now all duties are currently transferred to the Bold the screen is really awesome. As is the Music player and i really don't know where i got the idea that the BB was going to be complicated from as i have found it really easy to be honest. I have suffered a loss of 3G signal and am just downloading the latest firmware now from T-Mobile Germany about to delete the Vendor .xml and upgrade not bad for a first day with a new OS if i say so myself. Especially as i am pumped full of Fentanyl and OxyContin you can expect a review in a few days when i can do it justice.

The greatest thing from RIM is full support for the firmware and that BBDM on WinXP! Gotta love the simplicity; especially since Backup & Restore ALL is set by default for upgrading the firmware.

Well thanks for explaining why and how it happened as i couldn't work out how it happened and I'M running DM4.6 on Vista.
Maybe you can explain one thing for me though why does Outlook sync take so long? as it doesn't just compare both phone and Outlook versions but checks the whole of my Outlook database which is over 8,000 entries where as my 1 year of entries is only about 2,800 and it takes what seems like ages.

Marc Dude!
I have to ask what is the camera like? I used to have a curve and was sometimes impressed by the shots you could take with the fixed focus cam, but after recently going back to SE I realised what i was missing. Any chance of a sample shot or two?
Cheers
Burgaz

I've bit the bullet and ordered me a Bold, coming Saturday!
Posted by fatreg
i want my bold! come on Orange pull ya finger out!
Posted by Nanu
they're sending yours to me Col as I'm a new customer!!!
Posted by fatreg
It would seem that way, don't think it's going unnoticed... Orange will be hearing from me about it!!!
Posted by Nanu
well if the signal is as bad as a few of my friends have said, it will be going back and they then may send it on to you!
Posted by fatreg
what makes you think I want whatever obscene pictures etc you put on it?
Posted by Dogmann
@Nanu
The signal was only really bad on the original Orange Firmware v4.6.0.92 platform 4.0.0.117 since i have been running v4.6.0.126 platform 4.0.0.135 it is much better and i haven't been stuck on SOS only and not been able to get back to 3G.
But then i have it set to 3G only and so far it has been much better, i may actually upgrade to a newer version which .134 as that is meant to be even better still. At least it seems Rim are well aware of the problem and are releasing a fast fix for it. As it seems there have already been two releases so i can't see it remaining a problem for long. Besides that congrats i really don't think you'll regret I'm absolutely loving it.
Marc

WOW thats a LOT of db entries (8K) vs your Contacts & Calendars. Curious of a few things that come to mind:
* Calendar - Most ppl in the corporate office have YEARS of Calendar entries - some so old and repeating reminders that are no longer valid from some 5yrs ago. This can take a lot of time to sync. Conflicting entries that are also duplicates will cause a BBDM crash in earlier versions. Organize your calendar to view by appointment and set it to view the OLDEST at the top - then SHIFT select teh oldest NON-needed listing to the newest NON-needed and do a mass delete. You should be able to limit this lengthy sync in BBDM in advanced options in Sync to sync just say 3mths (definable by you) in the past to all future or 6mths in the future. This may actually be easier.
* Journal - hoping you don't use it at all in Outlook. I don't recall it being able to sync with the BB anyway.
* Corporate Email - I think you run your own business if I recall correctly, and if you have an email address off of Exchange or Hosted-Exchange then its possible these emails also are synching if you've set the BBDM during install for Desktop Redirector. Most ppl don't use Redirector or BBDM in this fashion.
Thats all I can think of for the moment.

Hi Prom1
Thanks for your response and in answer to your points, i have set it up to sync back and forward 365 days which it does quite quickly. The point i am making is after this it then verifies all Outlook entries even though they are not being synced to my device and that's what i just don't understand, why is it doing this? But as i said it's not the end of the world just slightly annoying is all.
Nope don't use Journal and i only have Private E-Mails and that is all working perfectly without any problems and I'm not syncing it with Outlook either. No not using redirector what ever that may be.
One last thing that i have now given up on under Media there is Media Manager that works perfectly or i can just drag and drop things in Mass storage mode to my device.
Or there is Blackberry Media Sync that if i try and start it when my Bold is connected gives me an error and says i have to be in Admin mode. Which by the way i always am in as I'm the only user. So i close the program choose run as Administrator and then it won't connect with my Bold. So i actually can't sync with iTunes after all, i have given up on this one for now. As using Media Manager allowed me to copy my Albums from iTunes without changing them anyway. Although Album Art shows for some and not for others but i really don't care to much about that as i listen to my Music i don't watch it.

How do you reset a blackberry curve 8310???
AND
Do you loose any data???
Cheers
ENJOY
Posted by jcwhite_uk
If you want to reset to defaults then you goto: Options/security option/ general settings/ press blackberry button/ select wipe handheld. This wipes everything except apps unless you tell it to.

@jcwhite_uk
Thanks for that
Cheers

Holy Sh!t !!!!!
Now i'm seriously tempted!
EDIT:
I take it that's in store only as it's not on the website.... And i'm guessing in a week or so that price will go up nearer the £500 mark?

Cheers for the photos guys. No AF then... That's a bit of a disappointment. I dream of the day RIM release a BB with AF!
I'm still undecided... I love the new multi media capabilities of the new OS, but I'll really miss having a decent cam.
Posted by fatreg
^ buy a camera then you quince.
Posted by Daedalus85
FINALLY had a play with one today.
Better build (read: solid) compared to my Curve 8310, but it's definetely large, and heavier too, quite noticeably at that.
The guy who showed me it (the BlackBerry rep) was a bit thick tho...I said so has it got MicroUSB like the rumours, or is it MiniUSB, and he said "yep, MicroUSB, all the way, totally up to date here" and I asked if he was sure, and started pointing to it, but he stopped me and said "yeah, look, see?" and took the MicroSD card out.....
Just wanted to slap him in the face with it there and then

Zoot,
I think your grass could do with cutting and you've got a terrible Ant problem . . . . . . .
Great pics though!

I reall want the Bold but T-Mobile have told me that they are not getting the phone until october and I want to upgrade rather than change networks as I am ok with T-Mobile at the moment.
I am tempted though to goto Vodafone just so I can the Bold sooner. They also do it on 12 month tariffs from what I here.
Posted by jackdaniels
Someone over at Crackberry thinks the Bold on Tmobile might be delayed until Jan which is a nightmare as i have been waiting to upgrade to that. Thinking of maybe getting another phone to sell and buy it simfree..
Posted by jcwhite_uk
I had thought that. Bold is currently about £400 sim free though so would need to be a good phone to get that much money.
Posted by Daedalus85
Hang on, Vodafone haven't done 12 month contracts for a year or so now, how on earth would you be able to get the Bold on a 12 month with them?

Business Tariff.
Posted by lovewalrus
@ JackDaniels....Bold is definitely going to T-Mobile and will be released in the coming weeks-but will only be available direct. T-Mobile stores will not be getting the Bold, they will be gettin a variant which is identical, just a different name!

I hope this is true as i heard that it was actually not going to be released at all!! I will wait until the vario IV and sell that to fund a bold if it doesnt come out by then.
Posted by Dogmann
Hi all,
Well my current contract is with VodaFone and to get the same deal on the Bold with them rather than Orange would of cost me an extra £130 for the Bold another £2.50pm and less minutes and texts as well. Although i am not the greatest Orange fan there deals for the Bold really are unbeatable IMO.

Vario 4 and bold are due for release around the same date, so no point! If you want a bold and not the variant, call customer services in a couple of weeks and they'll be able to sort you out! :o)

Fair enough for business, but anyone daft enough to take THOSE 12-month contracts for consumers need their heads seeing to.
Posted by jcwhite_uk
I must admit that Vodafones 12 mont tariffs are quite sh1t.
They are ok for the few people that get the lowest tariff they can for the phone they want just to get the phone.

I spoke to t-mobile blackberry support today and asked them when the bold will be on there network, they said 2 weeks.

Sweet thanks for the update, spoke to someone else that works in Tmobile and they said it is due out soon. Fingers crossed i can get a one in a CPW store on upgrade.
