yeah i've been with rogers for a long time, but i've renewed my contract with them many times. so i was already on a contract when i upgraded. i technically wasn't supposed to be allowed to upgrade because its limited to apparently one a year. i did my upgrade about a month early

When you're in the camera mode, hit the menu button and go to options. There's a geo tagging option there...


Off topic here...

I got my Bold yesterday and I love it so far! It's my first Blackberry, so I didn't know what to expect... Well I put a cellphone strap on it. Is it considered kinda stupid to put one on a Blackberry?

was just trying to use it today.... wow its horrible!

the thing is huge the curve is much better choice and it doesnt feel solid like the e71, very plastic feel.

I really don't like it but i guess its not bad. The phone can play great movies the screen is awesome but other then that its pretty bad.... would not suggest

i have it and love it, but i can't say for other people.
but all i can say is the battery life is terrible......
8am-6:30pm i went from 100% battery to 20% battery
i turned off wifi and bluetooth and went from 3g to 2g just to see if there's a difference.
must be because of my msn messenger running in the background or something

The bold sure is sexy. Our work is upgrading all BB's to the Bold but it'll be another few weeks before we get them.

redliine, i've had my phone for 2 days now but officially just started using it today. i think the msn really drains the battery a lot...
i'm going to try one full day of the usual text but no msn, and one full day of text and msn (at work) to compare

So is there no way to get the cheap new customer price if I'm already a Rogers customer? I've been with them about 4 years and the upgrade price they quoted me is $549 which is lame. I'm almost thinking to ask my brother to use his thieving and scamming ways to get me one.

They said the same thing. The only way to get one for 399 is to change your number and sign a contract. Call into retentions, and see what they can do for you.

Talked to someone at Rogers and the only thing they could suggest is to wait a couple of months till the price drops down... of course that's no good since the $30/month data plan expires at the end of September.

I'm now considering the unthinkable--get an iPhone >.<
