Hi all,
OK need a little advice please as i am getting very close to buying a Bold from Orange.
Orange remove BB maps from their Bold's can i install another firmware and get them back?
If i get the Bold and don't like it i will keep the Orange plan and use BB connect on my E90 as it's only £2.50pm. So how easy is it to get the Bold both unlocked and unlatched so i can sell it?
Lastly is 250mb per month on BB talk from Orange really enough for E-Mail and Web browsing or would i need to keep Web browsing mainly to just WiFi?
Marc

Put it this way, 200MB is what O2 give you and very, very few people go over that. That includes people on here (apart from maybe 2 or 3)
My opinions on this forum are that of my own and not of the company I work for. |

AFAIK blackberry have not released a downloadable version of bb maps for 4.6 yet.

Hi all,
OK not to worried about the maps anymore and Orange will unlock and unlatch the Bold after 3 months for me. As i intend to give the Bold a proper try before deciding if it's for me or not that really isn't a problem just want it delivered now.

£5 a month online discount and not having to go to an Orange shop and worry about parking etc etc all make it better for my needs. Not sure but are the shop's also doing BB talk discounted to £2.50pm? which i believe ends 31st August.

If you work nearby an Orange store, ask the person doing the connection about the 'trade secrets' discount for local businesses/employees. Basically you can get (I think 10%) discount on your monthly line rental and (again, I think it was) 15% off of your upgrades.
I was discussing a new connection on Saturday whilst in the office and the guy said he would sort me out with it as I worked nearby. All I had to do was bring a payslip in when I was doing the connection. |

Where's the cheapest place to get a Sim Free Bold then? I've been looking around and can't find them for less than £400-£500... Was hoping to find on for £300 or so...

Hi all,
Well I've now joined the BB club as my Bold arrived today so far I've found it very easy to set up. My one and only compliant so far is synching is really taking far to long and it looks like i need a newer firmware as it isn't holding onto a 3G signal very well. Anyone wishing to add me onto BB messenger my Pin is now in my signature.
Marc
