looks good, unfortunately since I'm on VZW it'll take even longer to get this device. This summer or early fall is about right...seeing as how that'll be about the same time for the new iphone...

i can speak of the Curve. it's certainly not a "true" web browsing experience, but i'm able to view, post and reply to any post on e60 w/o any issues.
i would certainly hold out for the bold since they're suppose to have a much better web browser....
DESKTOP-STYLE WEB PAGES
With its newly enhanced, high performance browser and high-resolution, ultra-bright display, the BlackBerry Bold smartphone gives users an on-the-go web browsing experience with desktop-style depiction. The trackball mimics a mouse, making it easy to navigate sites in "Page View" or "Column View" or to zoom in on specific parts of a web page, while various emulation settings allow users to choose between the full desktop-style HTML content and layout or the mobile version. Attachments can also now be downloaded from within the browser and there is support for watching streaming videos (RTSP ? real-time streaming protocol).

Other than it looking more like an iPhone, I don't see how it's much different than the Curve I just got, outside of the web browsing. However, I never browse on any of my PDA's. I mainly use it for work email only.
PS - If anyone is on Verizon, they JUST released the Curve this past Friday. I'm so happy to be dumping my bberry 8700G.
