Orange is reportedly dropping the Blackberry Bold from its handset line-up after a series of problems with the device.
The telecommunications company initially suspended shipping of the handset in October last year, in the hope that handset's manufacturer Research in Motion (RIM), could solve the problems with a number of software updates. However, handset users are still experiencing a number of issues, including call dropping and poor reception.
Research in Motion has also faced a barrage of critiscsm over its latest handset - the Blackberry Storm. Slowness and poor sound quality were among the problems citied by users. Even tech fan, actor Stephen Fry, revealed his hatred of the device with an online rant last year.
While Orange refused to comment on the speculation, RIM told The Guardian: "The BlackBerry Bold 9000 smartphone is available to Orange customers both in-store and online via its website".
Wow, what a blatantly incorrect title. You should be ashamed for tricking readers into reading your story. This rumour is several months old and simply untrue. And it's bad enough that you are perpetuating a rumour, but you are distorting it even further. The rumour was that Orange was "considering" dropping it, which turned out to be false, and now you go and suggest that they actually are "reportedly" dropping it. Shame, shame, shame. I use the Bold and it is quite simply the best smartphone on the planet at this time, which makes this rumour all the more unbelievable. Wow, really nasty. You should really aspire for greater value in your blog.
