My friends a nut and has been using a Bold for over a month. I'm not sure if he got it from HTC directly or Rogers in Canada but it says AT&T on it.
Let me say from just looking at it, it's quite impressive. I like the faux leather back. I can't think of any WinMo device that looks this "professional".
Overall he loves this thing. He's had all the WinMo devices back to the Jam and had the iPhone for a while.
Some things that weren't mentioned. Some may be obvious.
Good:
Push Email
I'm sick of paying for hosted exchange. I don't even like Outlook. Having everything sync up like magic is great but instant search is not so instant. What's the free version of a push solution for WinMo? Hotmail Live, Xpress Mail, System 7? They're all weak. Setting an imap account to 15 minutes is easy, but the pocket inbox doesn't even tell you when the last connection was for POP/IMAP. Sometimes I hit Send/Receive and a bunch if emails come in from hours ago.
Google Sync
Google's Sync for the BB syncs the calendar directly to the BB calendar. RTM does the same to tasks. No need to sync to Outlook 1st.
Bad:
BB browser is painfully slow. We're both on AT&T (I have a Tilt). Any mobile formated page I load comes in a good minute before his. Opera Mini is about a 20-30 second difference in favor of WinMo
SMS:
It's not threaded and major pain in the but to use after have any threaded sms solution.
BB Bold or Storm or iPhone, it doesn't matter. I think I'm just giving up on WinMo.
