Blackberry Bold or Thunder?

asdflkijd · 08-13-2008, 09:29 PM

As most of you BB fans already know, the bold is soon to come, but what about the Thunder? I was browsing through articles and the Thunder actually looks pretty decent, I wonder how it will function etc etc... Any of you guys choosing between the two?

Bold

Thunder

I'm waiting for the thunder...I can't wait till it comes out! Last I heard, Verizon said they will have it released on Oct 13. Supposed to be a good competitor of the iPhone

I'll never be completely comfortable using a touch screen. Buttons let you use them blindly and confidently. Plus... the bold is beautiful

kuvesh · 08-14-2008, 10:44 AM

i'm also not a fan of touch screens either - they are either to sensitive or to slow.

stick with the bold...

Kensta335 · 08-14-2008, 11:28 AM

Gotta go with the bold. I also do not like touch screens.

561design · 08-14-2008, 11:47 AM

I would suggest the bold. I dispise button functionality on a touch screen. But I suppose little buttons don't help much either.

in5ane_3 · 08-14-2008, 05:07 PM

Go for the bold, I have the iPhone and it really isn't the best for typing messages/texts. If the phone is going to used for business applications then I would defininelty say go for the bold instead of the thunder just because of the typing issue.

Also, idk the specs for the thunder but the bold has a very powerful proccessor perfect for running business apps.

Will Verizon put their gay ass fuck GUI on the Thunder?

DFW_M · 08-15-2008, 11:04 AM

Thunder is less complex than the Bold.
Thunder does not have WiFi.
The screen resolution on Bold is much better.
I am not sure about the touch-screen keyboard stuff...

Park2670 · 08-15-2008, 01:40 PM

I would have an iPhone if it wasnt for the onscreen keyboard. Other than that, I love my BB pearl.

ianbiz · 08-17-2008, 01:11 PM

I was thinking of waiting for the thunder, but im prob. gonna get the bold when it comes out and ask to try the thunder within 30days.

Well put. And probably not, as I don't think BB would let that happen.

ChaneRZ · 08-17-2008, 03:22 PM

i'm gonna wait for bold. time to change my BB.

skierman64 · 08-17-2008, 03:53 PM

Touchscreens are too hard to use unless you're staring at the screen.

solefald · 08-17-2008, 04:22 PM

i find BB OS incredibly ugly. And as if that wasn't enough, people make some awful-looking themes to top it off.

Also that stupid MS Sans Comic font that people love to use so much makes me wanna gouge my eyes out with a spork.
