Seems like I'm not getting quite what I should be ouf of it.

I forgot to mention that if you forget to turn off certain apps it will wipe out you battery life. That happened to me a couple of times. I went to open a program and it was already running and that tipped me off that that was the reason my battery was draining, so I always make sure to completely close app(youtube, etc).

Pandora is like that.

I always make sure to click "shut down Pandora" option before I leave the app.

I like BlockBerry! I just picked it up today. I've been wanting tetris on the BB and now I have it. Yay!

Can't wait to get my new Bold from FedEx today

Finally a business phone with a camera for us..but the 8830's have served us well. Still in running for the new Verizon TOUR if they give us the equipment free like AT&T is doing.

Copped a Bold today. Just going through all of it now. Any applications you guys suggest?

Pandora, Google Maps, Facebook/Myspace (if you have one)

Yeah, we get a discount on our monthly bill and any accessories we buy from Verizon, due to my wife being a teacher.

Is that an official release from Verizon? What version does that bump you up to?
