the BB bold has the worse browser i have ever used the only reason i havent returned it to orange uk is because i love the form factor its just great for txt and email, but browsing has become a chore i cant be bothered to go through the various hoops im expected to do just to render a bloody web page correctly…ps i am a former iphone 2g user (still stuck in a contract with O2 in the uk) and mobile safari is really the only thing i miss..its not even the touch touchy malarky just the fact that it renders a page how it is s`posed to look like not some mashed up mess i seem to have to put up with these days..you pays ya money you takes ya chances..still im happy going back to buttons

I use my BB for E-Mail, Basic web browsing and most of all MP3s. Gaming has never been good enough or cheap enough to catch on for me on the smart phone, but web browsing and mp3s are a big deal for me. I wish the 8830 could handle videos, I’d do a lot of video stuff if it was an option.

I seem to be in the minority based on the above survey. I switched to a BB because of easier email and web browsing. I would probably use it for mp3 playing though if the battery drain wasn’t so bad.
