I have been using blackberry for the longest time, however I moved to a country, work reasons, that does not support blackberry service. I would like to purchase the Bold and check my email through Wifi. Is this possible without having the Blackberry service? I know that with my Curve, 8300, after unlocking it, I was not able to access the internet; even after input the correct setting. The only way for the internet to work, was to install Opera browser to access the internet but no email.
I love all the applications for the BB and I am thinking of buying any BB with Wifi, if I can access the internet/email though Wifi without having blackberry service agreement; Help please

Crown, 22 Oct 2008Thanks. How do I go back to the open app then? With Nokia I just keep in the menu button.Oh never mind. I just had the BlackBerry rep here (I'm a cell phone salesman). So I checked it all out on her phone. I'm completely sold out on this phone. Now I just have to wait for my upgrade......

me and my wife wanted the blackberry bold,but she is with at&t which is a 3g gsm service and i am with tmobile which is a 2g gsm service but we couldn't wait so with both bought unlocked blackberry bold from www.addictedtophones.com.They costed $769.99 a piece.the bold was suppose to come out with at&t service.I called tmobile and talk to a person in text support in about 10 minutes I had all my settings sent to my phone even web browser worked fine but except favs 5 dont work but that dont matter also hsdpa does not work but I can download ringtones from tzones also download music to a micro card to listen to the music player.My wife tried to have at&t send the settings to her phone it finally worked but we had to call back another day for some reason.what I dont understand is even though this phone is branded for at&t which is 3g and the phone is 3g. my phone with tmobile settings can work in some places hers dont.the only thing her phone can do faster is web browse.

This is probably a stupid question as I think I know the answer,but I just want to make sure. Can the Bold multitask.Like a Symbian phone for example?

ailie, 20 Oct 2008any one knows how to resolve the bluetooth pairing/sending issues??Sorry I've reply to the wrong person, please refer to below
After pairing devices, you need to connect both devices by going to "Set Up Bluetooth" then select your devices then press the blackberry menu button and select "Connect"
Then go to "Media" then press the blackberry menu button and select "Receive Using Bluetooth"
Then go to your other devices and send the files
Your blackberry will then prompt whether you want to receive the file or not, select yes, and happy receiving!!!
You can check the following link for more details:

I've read an article stating that Blackberry bold will be released in USA on 11/08 (ofcourse, you figure, christmas is just around the corner)for $300 (AT&T Subscriber). Not quite sure how true this is but it sounds like it's the right price. I've checked their prices in other sites and it looks like everyweek it drops prices.

I have same problem with my blackberry as well. I am conviced that any blackberry device has this problem, it says connection failed when you try to send pictures or songs. This is one of the issue that IT people from blackberry needs to look at. I've tried everything and it doesn't seem to work.
