Any comment on the software issues that ive noticed have been reported about the Bold? was reading today that Orange have suspended shipping the Bold until RIM sort the issue out! Pretty serious then!

You said "it can be setup for Enterprise use ... or it can be setup for personal use". But can it set up for both types of email account at the same time? If so, I think it may be the answer to my prayers.

I don't think it can be setup for both, since originally Vodafone sent it to me configured for Enterprise use, then I couldn't get my IT guys to give me access to the Exchange server, so they had to switch it over.

I wanted to test the Bold using Exchange, but after three weeks of trying to get mobile access to my email, the IT department in New York said no. The joys of being part of a big multi-national!

Hi, I work for one of the big 4 networks and we support set up for both sevices on blackberry, I guess you just need to speak to the right person in customer services, preferably some one who knows what they are talking about re blackberry. It is through a RIM portal that it is configured so I guess the other networks should support it!

What's the battery life like? That's the winner for me with the E71. It lasts forever!

Also worth noting if you are paying for the contract yourself that Voda would do you a much better offer than that quoted - I would expect to pay no more than £30 for that bundle with a handset like this with a bit of bargaining!

In the last 18 months ive had a TyTn II a SE Xperia X1 and the new 8MP LG, just got the BB Bold on an O2 tariff and its completely phenomenal, does exactly what it says on the tin, and is the all singing all dancing BB it claims to be, even the browser which can never be expected to be in the same league as an iPhone is remarkable impressive on 3G and even better on a Wifi or Hotspot connection, the seamless integration with itunes and Outlook 2007 was the clincher for me. First BB and ill not be trading it in any time soon!

Any current BlackBerry users who have been waiting to upgrade to the Bold should definitely take the plunge, this is an excellent handset that does everything it should, and does it all very well. Competition is more fierce this time around though, with the Nokia E71 winning many friends in the business sector, and the iPhone appealing to smartphone buying consumers. Add to this the forthcoming T-Mobile G1, and there has never been more choice in the fully featured handset market. If however, mobile email is your prime concern, the Bold does the job superbly, just like every BlackBerry before it. The handset itself is also well designed, simple to use and stacked full of features - the 3.5mm headphone jack is particularly good to see. Throw in that great screen and lightning fast GPS positioning and it's clear that RIM has produced another winner.
