i hate this piece of crap, you forgot to mention the battery memory doesnt last, reset it as many times as you like after a week or so it will start dying half-way through the day, reset 3 times and it’s good for another 2 weeks.
password protect stops from outlook sync, it prompts for password and gets locked up multiple times during sync. i have never gotten the sync to work fully with password protection on
device lock releases automatically comming out of the pouch, i’ve started 2 new apps, called my ex and taken a picture of my crotch by the time i can get it out of the pouch and to my sight.
can’t disable the touchscreen, got SOO tired of not being able to touch it i tried, can’t do it. wanted touchpad like originals but nope, not allowed
no programmable hard keys like curve, only camera – which works awesome, especially every time i pick up the phone to call someone (more pictures of my crotch)

oh, and newest one, if you travel for a living they know about a new problem, some phones will lose internet service, no email, etc. phone works but it says “temporary bad service” – which last for days. called tech support and they said you have to pull battery whenever you get to your destimation and let phone completely reload (turning off doesnt work) – this is very lovely every single trip

i hate this piece of crap!

It has been one sick joke after another with my black berry. So I am waiting for an email from a business associate in Zambia, its 11 30pm so they will be getting up soon…. bling… my email service is suspended just like that…. but wait no problem there are directions here in this email from black berry! another sick joke… just verify your password it says… so I type in my password and … nothing it tells me I have the wrong password and I know my password…. nothing for it It is 2 am and I drive to my office to get on line… Using a browser I am supposed to (1) access the BBerry internet service site… ok (2) go to email accounts page… yea right I need a pin and soem other numbers to do that and the other number I am told is on the box the B Berry came in… who keeps the box? it never ends… I want my money back I have been ripped off basically. the service is a non service merry go round of phone calls and of course BBerry has no phone number… verizon customer service is closed for another 4 hours and by then I will miss the opportunity of a life time and what can I do about it… nothing! Black Berry prince of darkness, how do you stay in business, you have the most expensive phne in the world and the worst most convoluted non service imaginable! How did things get this f*#!d up? I want an I phone like my daughter has! Screw you Black berry!

I agree the reboot time takes way too long. I’m also tired of the animated clock sometimes it just keeps going and going and uses up my battery. Can’t wait until my contract is up. keg

Can't do anything but agree. The Bold is a piece of absolute rubbish. As you, I am a heavy user, the Bloomberg terminal takes up a bit of juice, but there's no reason it should take 5-6 minutes to reboot. After a couple of days of usage I have to reboot because the thing starts running really slow. Access to the MicroSD is painful, and the 1 alarm limit is just annoying. It still doesn't suck as bad as my wife's iPhone though.

truly a worthless piece of crap… PLEASE do not buy one the Blackberry Bold from AT&T… after fighting with it for 37 days and logging dozens of hours trying to fix the thing I am now told I am outside my window for returning it for a new device…. only refurbs….. do yourself a favor… if you have ANY problem with it at all return it to them….. It's no wonder these people are losing market share by the minute to every mfr. swinging a dime around….
