| Please Login to Remove! One of the reason I want to get the Bold is to watch TV shows that I missed.
For instance: ABC.com Full Episode Player or FOX Broadcasting Company
Can tell me if you can watch these shows on the Bold? | | Offline

| Thanks for all the information. Device looks great, I came really close to buying an iphone and crossing over... Glad I didn't. I just couldn't give up the ability to type without looking, you just cant do that with an onscreen keyboard. | | Offline

| How's the general build quality? Does it creak? I had my Curve for less than 2 months and the paint job wasn't that hot. Luckily I can change the back cover where it's peeling. And after a while, the battery door started to creak... | | Offline

| Does the new Bold browser store previously entered form information ie. login information like username/password, so you don't have to retype it each time? Does it prompt you to save this information? I haven't seen this option on a Curve. | | Offline

But RIM seems to be using "buttons" under the keypad that are almost as good as the ones from the Curve. The keyboard is absolutely fine for me. If you want to get the Bold, then I would suggest you to try out the keyboard yourself to get a feeling for it before you buy the device. | | Offline

I am sure the keyboard is fine.... If I can work past the deficiencies of the 8800 keyboard, I am sure I will be just fine on the Bold. Thanks for the info! | | Offline

Come on, where are your questions?  | What's the resolution and frame rate of the video recording from the camera? QVGA @ 15fps or VGA 640x480@30fps?

The only exception is Flash. The BlackBerry Browser 4.6 does not support Flash animations.
That's what RIM is writing about the browser enhancements. Quote: Browser enhancements- Attachment download via the Browser application
Attachments can be downloaded from intranet or Internet web sites using the Browser application on the BlackBerry smartphone. - Richer browsing experience
Improved web page rendering, including support for the following Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) capabilities: - JavaScript 1.5
- Cascading Style Sheets Level 2 Revision 1 (CSS 2.1) including lists, box model, positioning, floats, visual effects, tables, colors, backgrounds, and text properties; not including system fonts and generated content
- Document Object Model Level 2 (DOM L2) including core, HTML, style, and events
- Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) 4.01 including forms, maps, tables, frames, and objects

| What kind of battery is in the Bold is it new? Also someone mentioned whether it would fit into an 8800 holster ok and line up with the sleep magnets.
