I have the BB Bold and after 6 months, I'm still in love with it. The only con for the Bold I can think of is that the keyboard is on the smaller side and the keys are close together. However, the keys have these ridges on the corners that makes it extremely easy to type fast and not misspell words. I think the interface is pretty simple and easy to use. My favorite is the image quality. I would say the display is extremely clear and the picture quality of the camera is amazing. There is no grainyness at all and can take pictures up to 1600x1200. I also love the support of apps available for the BB. Haven't had any experience with the nokia though.

definitely the nokia biggrin.gif
if you get the blackberry you gotta also get the data plan so if you don't need it, you should get the nokia.

^^ no you don't need to get a data plan.

Blackberry Bold can be used with wi-fi, like the Nokia E71 except the Blackberry has way more apps.

BOLD!

I'd get a bold if I could, but I got stuck with the curve. :|

IMO, Nokia looks rigid and bulky, the bold looks smoooooth.

Of couse, I'm shallow and I only care about looks.

If you only care about the looks, I'll put my money on E71, in exactly that white color on the photo. Absolutely gorgeous (IMO), much more pocketable than the Bold (= fat). And it's 150-200 bucks cheaper!

What I dislike about Blackberry's trackball is that, they look rather "ewwwww" after you use them for a while. Unless you put in the black one like I did.

However, I do really love the messaging interface of Blackberries, and with that superb keyboard, it's very quick device for messaging. That being said, the Nokia's interface isn't bad or anything.

I've gone through the dumbphone and smartphone fever, and I have concluded on one thing: Pimp looking phones with ease of use = WIN. From this comparison, the E71 edges out the Bold (IMO).

The Nokia looks very sleek and sexy ( well I think the Bold does too), but I've never used it.
I'd go for the Bold, I have a Curve but if I had a chance I'd get the Bold.

I just switched from the E71 to the BlackBerry Bold 3 days after I purchased the E71.
So far I still like the BlackBerry more than the E71. Probably because the WIFI is faster and the keys are more spaced out, easier to type and all.
And you can get cool applications on the BlackBerry while.. um.. not on the E71.

Imo, BlackBerry Bold > E71 C:

the cool thing about Nokia is OVI you can sync up to 5 computer to your mobile when you're not home for example you're at school you forgot a document on your computer if you made a back up or sync to your computer at home through OVI you can go get it. Ovi allows you to store up to 10 gib of whatever is on your computer. Same goes for photo, music. Though honestly i prefer Nokia over blackberry for the durability and signal. What I liked about the phone was the switch mode, what is it? Technically, if you're working you might have some shortcut to specific item you'd like to have on the main screen, what about after work? If you press switch mode it'll get out of the "work shortcut" and go to your regular shortcut when you're not working.. not sure if you get what I mean.. its like having 2 different desktop in 1 phone.

Blackberry provide you cool application they're expecting to get approx 2000 - 10000 application by december though they're new thing I forgot the name lol. The pin to pin is awesome only blackberry has it, it provides you a clear secured network to communicate with someone anywhere in the world as long as they use a blackberry of course. They have some cool application such as world mate lets you check in airport much faster than others (REALLY USEFUL). If I remember well the bold has a semi vga screen while nokia as a full vga or the other way around.

Though this is in term of specs, Bold is more useful if you're looking to surf, send msg and the UI is more beautiful while the E71 is more primitive. Though both of them offer push email and other stuff that will be up to you happy.gif

I have the E71 right now, but I'm itching to get the bold.
The leather backing of the bold looks great, and BBM sounds pretty cool too. smile.gif
