Just wanted to say that, cause I just upgraded to the Blackberry Bold (first Blackberry phone I've ever owned) and it is simply the BEST phone I've ever owned, period.
It is stylish, sexy, it feels good in the hand, I like to finger its trackball. Seriously, navigating is a breeze, I love having the keyboard on the front with the screen, the screen quality is incredible, the phone is so easy to use.
I'm use to Windows Mobile phones, my previous phone had Windows Mobile 5 on it, it was a flip phone. It did not have a full keyboard on it. Sure you can get lots of free WinMo apps for it, but it still felt rather slow and clunky and just a bit more complicated than it needed to be.
My 2 year contract was up in December, so I wanted to upgrade my phone and get a discount, and I wanted to try out a touch screen phone. I did NOT want the iPhone, it is over hyped IMO and lacks features I wanted, for example I really wanted a tactile qwerty keyboard. So I got the HTC Fuze.
For 2 weeks I had the HTC Fuze. For those that don't know it is a slide phone that has a qwerty keyboard AND a touch screen. It runs Windows Mobile 6.1 with an interface from HTC called Flo3D. Flo3D sits ontop of WinMo and is very stylish. However, because it sits atop the OS it makes the phone rather slow and you still have to deal with WinMo menus. There are like 20 ways to do everything on the phone and it makes it complicated and clunky, and slow. It was neat though being able to scroll through webpages by moving them on the screen, but the rest of it was just a bad experience, including the phone itself which was physically fat and didn't sit well in my pockets, stuck out a lot.
So I returned it (30 day exchange policy with ATT if you don't like the phone) and got the Blackberry Bold instead. My gosh, what a difference! The phone is fast, its processor is 100MHz faster than the HTC Fuze AND it doesn't have a bloated OS, very lean, so it is VERY fast. It uses Blackberry Berry OS 4.6 and it runs lean and mean. It is so easy to navigate with the trackball, even webpages you can just scroll on down and around in, works well. Menus are laid out great all on one page, it is simple and easy to use. The screen is really nice and it has some nice features like WiFi. The included Roxio Media Manager works great, you can easily upload pictures and music to it and it scans, finds them, and organizes them perfectly just like you want it.
I just can't express how in love with this phone I am!

That is the silliest article I've seen in quite some time.
