Puremobile.com sent us in the BlackBerry Bold 9000 for a review. This is a heavyweight model in the smartphone area that's meant mostly for business, but how well an unlocked Blackberry phone really works? Is the Blackberry a phone that you really want to buy unlocked? This is what this review is going to investigate.

Yes, that's what they should do. Because the product I reviewed was from PureMobile, not from a carrier or RIM. And that's what I reviewed. An UNLOCKED phone, which obviously bumps into carrier limitations. Why is this so difficult to understand? RIM didn't send me a phone, Puremobile did. So I reviewed what I got, not what it would have been "if".

Can you please be more serious and try understand the review?
I can't recommend them because they DO NOT WORK with EDGE/3G with ATT/TMob in the US when unlocked and "independent" from an enterprise account. That's why. And that's a major reason reason why.
So stop writing things like "not using them enough". I am not your average user. I have more gadgets in my closet than you have dust bunnies under your bed. But I need them to WORK as I expect them, and in this case, I expect it to work as a "fully unlocked" device (*that's* the product I am reviewing, not your off the shelf BB). But it didn't.
So stop thinking your off the shelf BB, this is not what I reviewed. I reviewed a "fully unlocked" generic device. If RIM wants a different review, they should send me a BB with a GSM BB account and an enterprise account too. But this was not what I reviewed here.
