The Blackberry Bold 9700 & Blackberry 9000 Review

Emotions and Your Cell Phone Purchase

Written by admin on January 15, 2010 – 2:55 pm -

It seems that a lot of people fight over the decision between whether to call themselves a blackberry user or an iPhone user. The camps are very entrenched like two different religious views.

When I wrote the top 10 things a Blackberry 9700 can do that an iPhone couldn’t, I wasn’t trying to knock the iPhone. I think the iPhone is a nicely designed gadget. However, I find it tough adding something like that to my daily life.

Something that’s screen smashes out when you drop it… Something that has no feeling when you type on it…

But phones are very much an emotional purchase unless your in business and require your phone for work. Your influenced by your friends, the media, and all kinds of other external and internal motivations. Let me say that the screen on a Bold 9700 and the look & feel has now started to really reflect those of the iPhone, with the scrolling time setting in the Alarm and Calendar… The sleek touch of the track pad…

I had the privileged this last couple weeks of chatting with these underground blackberry theme creators and boy… There are now things a Bold 9700/Tour can do that really make it’s interface look BETTER than an iPhone and not just looks… but practicality.. Some guy at methberry named Chad making themes that really revolutionize what a Blackberry can do.. I’m sure the functionality was there all along, but they’re unlocking that…

Like transparency.. I mean I can actually see what time it is while I set my alarm, how practical and yet sweet looking is that? I think that theme is called Eminence.

And as soon as they give me the word, i’ll be letting everyone know about these innovations and more…

GelaSkins – Special Blackberry Bold 9700 Skins

Blackberry Bold 9700 Skins With Matching Themes From GelaSkins

Probably nothing cooler than having something no one else you know in your circle of friends has! This would be one of those purchases. Not only does it make your unit much more unique than your next door neighbors, but it also protects the surface from scratches, and supports independent artists who design these packages. Very nice indeed! No blog about Blackberries would be complete without mentioning these interesting designs.

Keep in mind that this concept is a much wiser alternative to actually pulling apart your blackberry and putting custom colored plastic pieces on that void the warranty and ruin your resale-ability and wreak havoc on your chances of getting any repair by the carrier or manufacturer. These mods make you the coolest guy around and still protect your investment…  At $600+ USD, it’s not exactly something I’d go modding myself without considering the loss of that money.

You can browse their entire selection by visiting their website.
