ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS...

All I want for Christmas is.....the new Blackberry Bold.

The Bold is THE phone to have for guys like me. It has everything! However, there is only one reason I want it. Slingbox finally works with Blackberry! The Blackberry Bold's screen is insane. It is bright and clear and perfect. Like watching a mini plasma TV. With Slingbox on my Bold, I'll be able to watch any NFL, NBA, or MLB game I want. I have Direct TV, and I subscribe to all sports packages, naturally.

Imagine playing poker and having $500 bucks riding on the Heat/Rockets game. Just turn Slingbox on your Bold and there ya go! Watch the game live!
Imagine being at the airport waiting for your delayed flight, knowing you are missing the big football game. Not any more! Watch it live on your Bold. Oh man this will be heaven on earth.
Imagine being at some chick's house trying to get laid when you remember you forgot to record The World Series Of Poker on your DVR. Just open up Slingbox on your Bold and you can control your TV from anywhere.

Sure, Slingbox has been available for certain phones for over a year now, but most of those phones suck! And most had to have the Microsoft operating system. Apple's iPhone is cool, but I just can't stand touch screens. That, and I am addicted to Blackberry's superior email capabilities.

It's been a long time coming as Slingbox originally announced they would be Blackberry compatible way back in January 2008. Better late than never.

I've had the Blackberry Curve for over a year now. Fantastic phone, but after a year or so it's time to upgrade. I know from my Curve experience, Blackberry makes a quality phone. The new Bold boasts a terrific battery life, another important issue for me. What else? How about 3G. What does that mean? Hell if I know. I just know it makes surfing the internet much faster. What else? The keyboard. As stated before, I'm not a touch-screen guy. The Bold's keyboard is perfect. I am super-fast at typing on my Curve, and the Bold's keyboard is even better. Lastly, did I mention the screen. Unbelievably beautiful screen!

Why do I want one from Santa? Because the price tag is hefty! $500 or more.

Oh well, I'll get one sooner or later.
