Comments on: BlackBerry Bold rumored for Sprint

Reports say that Sprint will soon add the RIM BlackBerry Bold with a slightly updated design and world-roaming capabilities.

I am a Verizon customer and I would rather have the Bold with WiFi then that Storm with none.

About time. I just purchased the HTC Touch Pro, so I'll have to pass but this is good news for Sprint customers.

hmmm how about a blackberry with sprint's 4G :D

Hello Bonnie. Thanks for the heads up! I'm with verizon and own a WE 8830. I was one of those who waited anxiously for the Storm and got really disappointed. I really wanted to like it but when I played with the touchscreen, my girl nails got in the way. I guess bottom line is... no amount of exciting features matter if I'm not able to access it easily. I was hoping I could use it with a stylus but alas NO. Then I thought, if only verizon had the BOLD and they incorporated the World Edition 8830s features in it.....

every since i have used blackberry ive always said that the 8830 by far iis thew easiest blackberry to use because of its size of keys on the keyboard, if it ever had a camera like my touch pro and a faster network it would be the best phone!!!!!!!!!
please email me or keep me up to date when the launch date for sprints bold comes out!!!
