Hi all,
Well Expansys now have a price for the Bold a truly outrageous £544.95 not that it surprises me as their prices are always high on pre launch devices. I hope as usual they are way off the mark.
Does anyone think it is likely we will be able to buy Sim Free units from the US or Canada that will work in the UK? as i would imagine even with shipping and custom charges that would work out cheaper.
I really want one as soon as i can get it and patience is not a virtue i am blessed with.
Marc

Expansys is always expensive.
I think I will be getting mine on a new contract or upgrade so hopefully it should be free when the time comes around.

Hopefully when that WL launches it will be a proper app. I dont like webapps not least for security.

If you visit the link in my last post, it actually gives you the individual applications for ICQ, Yahoo, Google, AOL and MSN messengers-not the web applications-only one's that actually download are Google and Yahoo, but all the others error!

Hi all,
Just read some where else in the spec's for the Bold it includes Doc's To Go which if true is one less piece of Software needed then.

BB Bold (9000) Precision & Precision L themes FOUND:
* BB Pearl 8120 & Curve 8320 users note:
- set your default browser to be the Blackberry Browser (or just Browser), as for some reason (at least on my desktop sim) the WiFi browser doesn't work with the following link for OTA.
* Specific models (Pearl, Curve, 8800 series) support in the link.
* finally also set your BB Browser Configuration browser emulation to "internet explorer" - the creator of the link hasn't set his/her/their site to properly recognize the Blackberry emulation settings in your browser.
http://elecite.eveek.com/wap
Enjoy & yes their FREE! Above link should take you directly to the OTA page; if it doesn't then you're either using the WiFi Browser or your Browser emulation is set to Blackberry and their site doesn't properly recognize this.
Cheers!

tmagberry:
At what resolution do you think the Bold captures video at? It should be something like QVGA or CIF at a minimum right?
Also previous models allowed for playback of 3gp/mp4 encoded H263 video. Do you think the Bold will go one step up and allow H264?

Hi Bav,
From what i think i have read as heavy meds mean i may be wrong it is VGA @30fps and it has support for H.264 as well as various Divix codecs. To me at least it looks like the Bold is good for both Business and Multimedia, as i said for me at least it ticks all the things i want in a device with the Camera being the least important for me.

Documents To Go will be part of BOTH BB-Firmware OS 4.5 & 4.6; however only Reading & Editing Word, PowerPoint(not too sure edit tho) will be out of the "box". Editing Excel will come shortly after, at least on the 8320/8120/8820 type series models when available - IF I'M NOT mistaken. Also btw, Recording is at Half VGA or HVGA @ 30fps along with playback  . Its not quite as good as your E90, but shouldn't be too bad as a downgrade in that respect.

It worked? Glad to hear it bonus stuff!
Anyone interested in the Kickstart at all? Wonder if the outter display will allow some apps to display some information (Calendar Ajenda view, SMS/MMS/Email Headers & time at a glance, etc), along with some applications to cycle through by the user via touch-capacitance keys (like the RAZR2 or K850i)??
@ fatreg, have you found that keypad in pink/fuscia that you were looking for? (pink/grey I think like the Telus Mobility 8130, as apposed to white based with pink?)

Hi Prom1,
Thanks for that not to bothered about recording more interested in how playback is. Although i don't intend selling my E90 straight away but you can expect a full review as i push the Bold and learn the secrets of it's OS and as always i will report it as i find it no holes barred.

Sounds good to me. And how about H264 playback?
