i use the bold at the gym sometimes. i rather use the nano since i can change songs without looking at the thing. On the bold, i gotta pull it out, unlock it and then change the song.

When I use me bb bold for music I just press and hold the voulme key to skip tracks. This is in the holster however, which I always use.

Yeah its weird how some ppl never really have to upgrade their firmware at all.
On crackberry alot of users feel like every bold has its own personality because they all react differently to firmwares, even if its the exact same version

Things that new Bold users should know:

Hold "Q" to switch to 2 different profiles. (Default: Normal -> Vibrate. Vibrate -> Normal)
Hold "A" to lock your phone.
Switch through music tracks by holding the up/down volume key. (Up = next, down = previous)
You can hide/move applications and folders to give it a cleaner/organized look.
Highlighting words to copy and paste: Hold SHIFT (aA button) and use the trackball to highlight and press menu button to copy/paste.
Capslock: Hold left ALT and press the right SHIFT button.
The Bold is bullet proof. Give it a shot

Amen to their service!

I've never seen someone put that much care on a screen protector before.

Haha,
It was a bitch to put back on... It was probably because I didn't want to remove the screen from the board... So I kinda had to wedge that thing in.

Major difficulties: Those silver charging things in the bottom corner.
Getting the buttons to stay in while putting it back together.
Getting over the snapping noises when putting it together.


End result: worth it.


Be sure to get a nice sharp blade to save the warranty sticker on the screw!

its software. i assume its something similar to fonts. i just saw it as an option at phonemore so got it done there all at the same time.

they also have crystal cases available for the bold 9000. i was contimplating on getting one, as i have a crystal case for my sony ericssons and it doesnt really make the phone any bigger.

now i start looking at the applications.


QUESTION:

this map thing, i assume its actually downloading the maps right? so it counts towards my bandwidth usuage?

I'm pretty sure (don't quote me on it because I haven't done it before) if you download the multilanguage version of the firmware, and then when installing the firmware selecting the language you want, you can add the chinese language input and display.

Yes, it downloads maps as you move around. Yes, it will count towards your data usage.

Not really liking the denim backing, although if it's real denim, it'll probably be able to take a bit of a beating without looking roughed up. If my BB was blacked out like yours, I'd go for the OEM black to maintain the solid black throughout.
