Not only is it fantastically functional (everything you need to use is pretty much built in and works together) but with the Bold it actually looks rather nice.

I have had more phones then hot breakfasts from Palm OS, PPC2003, WM5, WM6, S60, S80, iPhone etc etc but the Bold is a keeper – pop past a shop and try it ;o)

My BB experience is about a year old now so I guess I’m a bit out of date.

Perhaps PI should release better screenshots to show off how good their software is.

My fonts are nice and smooth and the screen looks much better than this.

I’ve not seen the Storm so I can’t comment on that but just look at the un-antialiased fonts in that screenshot. Yuck!!!

Having said that, Pocket Informant for Windows Mobile is one of if not the best mobile apps ever written so I hope it’s just as good for Blackberry users.
