Multimedia is excellent on the Bold and has replaced my iPod for Music which is something the E90 or E71 couldn't do and is even better than my N95, N95 8GB where. That's with my Music encoded @256kbps AAC and using my Shure EC2g ear phones.
For watching Video the Bold screen is beautifully clear and bright and possibly one of the best looking screens i have used bar none. It also handles a wide range of formats and once your material is converted to he correct size it looks fantastic. Even listening to the sound over the stereo speakers is both good and loud enough with no disatortion. As you may be able to tell i am seriously impressed with the Bold and that's not easy for any device to do with me.

I have been running Beta firmwares since my original .92 on Orange and currently am on .162 and each one has improved the performance of the Bold. The other thing is if you don't like a firmware it's just so easy to erase it all and re load what ever one you want.
If i stuck to official releases I'm really not sure I'd be so happy with the Bold as i am.

Hi Dicky Snapples
I am using Movavi Video Converter 6 which which allows me to set up custom settings for one click conversions and also convert to many different formats and screen resolutions. It wasn't free but was worth every penny as it has allowed me to convert my material to so many different devices now.

You are correct in thinking it is swanage and it does have a pier.

Instead of waiting for Orange to do your upgrade cant you do it through Carphone Warehouse. they have Bolds in stock and they are unbranded and unlocked. They say they can do upgrades on Orange.

Hello BB experts. Have got my 8320 and registered the sim with Orange although have to wait another hour before I flash up my phone with the new sim in.
I thought I would try to register my new device on the Orange BIS (Pin & IMEI) but it tells me this unit is not registered with this service provider. Is this because I have to wait until I get the two text messages from Orange to complete the registration process?
It has V4.2 software so presently downloading V4.5, then install and then transfer my stuff using DEsktop Manager. Is this the right way? Cannot get through to Orange CS to ask - always stacked in the queue.
Thanks

1) Correct Doug... sadly!
2 indeed it is, did you make a backup of your Curve before selling it? if so you can just restore that to the 8320 when you've got 4.5 on it...

Has anyone got one of the newest BB's ?
If so, would you let me send you an email in Japanese to see if it displays?
Maybe, input is also easy to do...
I am searching for answers on this but to send an email to someone is the quickest way !

Hi Col. I was going to use Desktop Manager to do the switching device bit to put all the stuff on it. Want the themes etc I've paid for.
Thanks for the registration info - teach me to be ahead of the curve!
