Say what you will about John Mayer, but at least the guy has an eye for cool gadgets. He posted a couple of live pics on his blog of the new BB Bold. Looks like a sweet device and rumors are floating around that it could come to verizon as soon as the fall (I dont think that will happen, but we can always dream right?)

Gotta embrace the addiction army...don't try and fight it. The curve has been pretty solid so far, but I love the looks of the bold and I think I will make a move as soon as that bad boy comes out.

Plus there is a rumor that the bold might support itunes music, which is a big plus.

No, I took a pic of the lit up apple from my macbook pro and I use that a background pic...it looks pretty cool (black background, white apple), most people think I paid for it, lol.

I've seen a few themes i liked, but none enough to buy or download. Im currently using the "today" theme. Thats the one I usually stick with.

Have you downloaded any programs for your curve?

yeah I think you just have to go to various websites to download themes. I don't think there's a link to download them right from that page.

As far as apps go....Make sure you have opera mini web browser 4.1 (www.operamini.com). It's a god send and does a great job of rendering pages. I also have the facebook app--its a must if you use facebook, and I downloaded google maps. Thats all I have for now, I usually don't get too much stuff because Im always switching phones, and I'm not sure if the programs will transfer.

There are some good IM programs as well if you have various types of instant messenger.

I doubt it will support iTunes. RIM has a contract with Roxio to make their media software so unless Roxio's software starts reading iTunes files, I don't see this happening.

Apple prolly just sent him a whole new comp, then told him to blog about it, lol

I love how he has to let the apple folks know that he's john mayer. Who writes all that stuff on a simple trouble ticket...ridiculous

If I were John Meyer I'd be playing with Jennifer Aniston, not a BlackBerry.
