Man, that's disappointing. EDGE is definitely slow but it beats having nothing at all.

I have no speed issues on BB browser once javascript is disabled.

Opera Mini also lets you bypass the file size limit for downloading. I downloaded a 30 MB porn video from tube8 (they have .3gp versions of all their clips) the other day and was watching it with the volume turned up all the way while walking down on Robson with my friend, who was trying to pretend he wasn't with me...

or maybe the browser on mine was just ridiculously slow :S. loading the home screen on Revsene took at least a minute to fully load. Opera browser does it now in less than 7 seconds.. lol

The only thing you can't do on a locked Bold is use a sim card from another carrier.

Overall I like the phone quite a bit. But coming from an iphone I find the bb bold a bit fragile.
How is everyone's bold when they bought or receive it?
My came through Rogers and it kinda seems like a refurb / not new. I mean the battery came 3/4 charged already
