I know it’s not nice to call RIM someone who is intentionally out to deceive people, but it does seem a pinch like that…. Because When I found out there was a new version of the blackberry out, mine being a 9000 series, this one being a 9630 any logical person would assume that this was a “newer” version.

If “new” is decided by the release date alone, then by all means this is very new. However, if new means an improvement on the old, I’d beg to differ… Because this is FAR from an improvement.

The sheer facts surrounding what’s REALLY wrong with the “Tour” actually pissed me off…
Sorry, but it did, because I would have thought it cool to upgrade… Until you find out what I did!

Let’s do a short and very straight forward pro/con list to discuss whether this is an improvement or a fall back.

PRO…

• Has the elements of the Blackberry Storm’s operating system (without touch screen of course), and elements of the Bold’s operating system…
• Has world phone capabilities that the Bold doesn’t, namely EVDO, CDMA2000, UMTS/HSPA networks etc.
• Slightly smaller physically (six grams lighter than bold), and slightly bigger screen (by about 40 pixels)
• Bluetooth v2.0 (means stereo headsets instead of mono etc..)
• 3.2 Megapixel Camera (bold has a 2 megapixel)

That’s where the new “pro’ list ends, it literally has no features the Bold Doesn’t have except what’s listed above.
if you’re not sure or think I’m biased or would like to double check see The Blackberry Tour/Bold Comparison straight from RIM themselves.

Now for the CON list, are you sitting down?

• No WIFI of any kind No Wireless B/G/A (Bold has it though) ZERO wireless internet!
• No Onboard Memory at all (Bold has 1GB of onboard memory!)
• Media Player nolonger supports Divx/ASF Movies (Bold does!)
• Smaller Keyboard (Bold’s is bigger and a little easier to type on…)

Doesn’t sound like a ton of drawbacks, but it sure is in the long run. It’s an obvious choice
to remain a Bold user for a lot longer yet. Seems blackberry added some sweet new toys
to an old bag of tricks in my eyes.

I mean the WIFI is pretty much a deal killer in itself. But killing the onboard
memory and giving you a bigger camera, now that’s cheap. AND you can’t
play downloaded movies anymore?

Come on!

I hope Rim’s coming out with a high end unit soon, one that still keeps all
the good features and adds a bit more speed to the already lagging Bold.

Until Next Time

I saw Mike Filsame’s email come in this morning mentioning “The Ugly Truth” another one saying “The shocking truth”…

I’m looking at CNN right now, as I write this at 4:13PM PST and i’m seeing the words “alarming”, “protests”, “tense”, “weak” etc…

We all KNOW humans are emotional critters. We’re triggered, in fact set off like a bomb when it comes to emotions. That’s why certain emotions will make us read things…

FEAR – What If I don’t read this?!?
ANGER – I wonder if I could use this against so-n-so
PRIDE – Knowing this will make others think i’m smart
LOVE – She/He will really like this..

Emotions can make us do stupid things, and positive things. But regardless, knowing how to INJECT emotion into your online content can lead people around like a rope tied around their necks.

They’ll be sleeping at night and all of the sudden at 3AM Pop up out of bed and remember your website and want to tell their spouse, their neighbour and their friends. They’re going to leap out of bed, fly out of the house forgetting their shoes and their housecoat to go buy your item at the store!!!

Nah, maybe not that good.. but the emotional triggers can help!

In the next few weeks I’m going to launch a product around several emotions that can be used to get people to buy things on the internet. These are the 8 main triggers that cause a purchase and how to use them to your advantage.

Before I do that… (Which will be only to newsletter subscribers) I’m going to do something else that’s really special…

I’m going to package over 3200 specially emotionally charged words up in a nicely organized list along with a ton of other juicy bonuses and put it out there for EVERYONE To have… This is easily worth $97 or more. Heck, watch the emails you get over the next few days… they’ll spew forth with these Emotional bomb-blasts that make you jump on them and read them…

It’s not ready yet – but when it is i’ll email my list – those people subscribed to that newsletter in the top right up there on this page…. FREE.

All you have to do to get your copy is tell your friends, that’s fair isn’t it?

Help others and you get it free. Because they all need it to.

If your going to “tweet” on twitter, or write on facebook, or

- Craigslist
- Ezine articles
- wet paint
- Digg
- Propeller
- Myspace
- Facebook
- Blogs etc…

If your trying to get people’s attention online, this will make a huge difference.

Until next time!
