Both me and Mrs L have Blackberries (Bold 9700s same as you), and like them a lot. They are no worse or better than a lot of phones for software installs etc but they do seem to be reliable. When we've had issues it's because we've not really understood the feauture settings rather than a genuine fault.

CM has a blackberry and other than the fact that it doesn't bounce very well on the kitchen floor she loves it.

I could never get mine to sync with my laptop. Having said that, I still can't with my HTC Desire. Probably something to do with Vista.

Blackberry Nightmares

Anybody else got a blackberry and starting to despise RIM? I have a blackberry bold 9700 and I am really starting to give up with the repeated software installations, repairs, fixes, internet stoppages, unreliability. Messenger is great on it, as is the keyboard (for email usage) - the only 2 reasons I still have one and not an iPhone.
