Well guys and girls, thanks for the feedback! Despite the fact my sig says that i have a Storm 2, its kinda 50/50 for me the now regarding what device i'm gonna get...
The Bold 1 has the bigger screen and keyboard as well as being blessed with massive theme and app compatibility whereas the Bold 2 has more memory, better camera and trackpad...
i'm gonna research this more as i intend to sell my BlackBerry Storm 9520 within the next month or so - its a great device but just cant realistically do without the physical QWERTY keyboard...
Cheers anywho
