This site in the UK has stock, so it should be with me by Thursday Sim Free Mobile Phone BlackBerry Bold

I am so, so excited - its like waiting for your chrimbo present. I shall be on asking how to upgrade the OS, how to install some of those class wallpapers, and what applications I should be using.

One thing, will the bold pick up my emails just by transferring the sim, or do I need to amend my O2email account,

cheers

A very happy Smatty

Nice one mate, you're going to love it.

Re your question: You would need to register it in your BIS site like you did with the curve (PIN and IMEI)

Let me know if the SIM free Bold is branded in front and also the flashscreen.

That's what I got and no it is not. And you'll have both BES and BIS on it so you can set it up how you like.

WTF is the difference between BIS and BES, and what are they?

[Abbsta]

BIS is personal and BES is corporate use. You (network provider) can set up your berry for either or both depending on your needs. Have a look in the BlackberryFAQ above for more info.
