    I feel the same way about RIM & Apple. I wanted to get an unlocked blackberry and damn near did so. But having to use Missing Sync and still deal with BIS features & quality of service, I figured it was better off to go with a new IPhone. One month later, I’m glad I did. Hopefully RIM will add more support soon for Apple products.

    Installed on 2 Bolds running .282 and a Curve 8310

    Used DM 4.7 and DM 5.0 (Different Computers) as long as you follow the instructions…. FLAWLESS on both! (Curve was easier than the Bold and for that one I used DM 5.0. For the Bolds, I had to use the method of copying in to my installation folder first but for the Curve all was perfect.

    The apple user jokes are quite immature and stupid, especially considering how iphone friendly this site is…

    And it doesn’t matter because an OTA has leaked, app sucks though. No threaded sms = BORING!
