Received my bold last week. Been a bit busy so still figuring out how to use it. Just about managed to download my own ringtone for when phone rings (standard one is useless) but have yet to find out how to get different ringtones for text messages etc. As a new user can be confusing as to what the phone is trying to indicate has come in lol.

Overall tho, these are teething problems. Had an N95 before and I’d never go back. Blackberry bold is far superior and I love it. Just wish I had time to figure out how to use the d*** thing he he!

Yeah the MicroSD card seems to get stuck, but I’ve found that if you use your nail and pry at the part that sorta sticks up, it comes out.

Also, the stock MicroSD card seems to be insanely slow – I think it’s actually LIMITED to 2MB/s. I’m using a 4GB SanDisk Mobile Ultra, and I think I’ve hit speeds up to like 15MB/s!! BlackBerry’s are insanely at sideloading movie and music. So awesome lol.

Good review! But the MicroSD card seems to work much faster for me!!

Guess what? I googled “memory card stuck blackberry bold”, and , I landed on your page!

How did you get your microSD card “unstuck”? I’ve been trying to *gently* take it out.

Solution?

I have a blackberry bold and I am using a Outlook Web Access email account at university. I have set up the email, but the phone never receives messages. I read the problems above. Also the OWA account doesn’t a option to forward email to say gmail.

I have no idea what to do as I bought the phone to access my uni mails!

Hi, thank you for the great review. I just have a question regarding emails on the bold.

I am not familiar with Blackberry. Is it possible to sync the Bold with Outlook 2003? So that when you delete one email from the blackberry it will also delete it in the Outlook Inbox?

From the information I gathered it is possible through BES but I can’t seem to find any information as to if it is possible without using BES?

Thank you
