I'm curious back when the Bold first came out, was it pretty stable as far as issues, etc?

The Storm2 seems to have the usual assorted issues, as have the Tour, etc. I know the Bold2 is a "new" phone but maybe if the first Bold was fairly problem-free, maybe the Bold2 would be less likely to have issues.

I'm out of contract with T-Mobile...debating waiting for the Bold2, or switching to Verizon and the Storm2. I'd prefer Verizon's network, but not at the cost of an inferior phone.

I dont remember the bold having issues.

The original OS shipped with Rogers units 4.6.0.163 IIRC was hoplessly buggy. Sucked about a month of developement time out of my project chasing bugs that turned out to be in the OS.
