hehe. I like that quote ... "source: you needn't know".
I got to fiddle with the Bold today ... and the screen is incredible! really something you'll appreciate. Keys feel VERY similar to the 8800/8820/8830 World Edition models. The frets really help. I think the LCD is glued to the screen and does look like it'll scratch VERY easily. Its a good size but not too large like the pictures suggest. Strange though the the firmware - branded - I was peeking at it, and it looks like you cannot use WiFi (like the 8120) without a SIM Card present for browsing - yes I changed the default Browser Configurations to the "Hotspot Browser".
So we'll see for ourselves what its like.

At this rate the Bold should just have a change of name The Old, I am getting tired of waiting on this device.

Some news ....
S/MIME support for Email & PIN messaging will be done locally on the device without need for Administration or BES support. it'll be password encrypted and no longer need certificates.
Most ppl won't know or care, but for encrypted email/pin for VERY sensitive data matters to some ppl I guess.
Training materials are already at providers so its not going to be long now. Final firmware builds have just been released to carriers for final testing. We'll see.

Anyone know where to get a decent all-black housing for the Curve?
I've found the front and the keys on cnn.cn, and I can get a titanium coloured backplate from ebay, but they're £6 for just a backplate :/
Might just fork out for both and have a cool two tone black/dark greg one

I'll be looking for a ALL -BLACK housing as well. My entire training team except 3 others & myself got them. I got the SHITTY one that is a refurbished unit while everyone else got theirs brand new. Something I'm miffed about but oh well it was free.
PIN later - not sure I'm allowed to give it out as this is a demo account for data only.

dead dead dead easy Shelley...
if they have alx files, when you connect youtr BB to your PC, in desktop manager there's a button that says application loader, click that, find the alx files for the themes and the rest is even easier than that.....

O2 are getting the 8220 Kickstart within the next few weeks hopefully. No release date/week but we've got it on our handset price list as free on £30/month and above, I think. Maybe £25/month. Need to check.
But either way, we're getting it
I just hope we DO get the Bold :/

Hi all,
I've posted details in the Bold thread that Orange are the first UK Network to have the Bold but it is only available online. With some pretty amazing deals £30 pm with a £7.09 rebate and BB Mail @£2.13pm and the Bold @£42.54 all of these are plus VAT.
