Cool cool cheers for the heads up, should have really searched a little harder on here. Had a look on the blackberry app store, doesn't seem to be any decent novalty things unless you pay loads of money for it!
The Bold 2 is out at the start of Nov....

Don't be swayed by size and look mate, I did that when I got my Curve and regret it now, so wish I had got a Bold like the guy in the shop told me too
I just find the keys too small and fiddly on the Curve, much better on the Bold imo

Only rumoured ATM, AFAIK nothing concrete yet but the iPhone coming to Orange was also rumoured for November and that seems to be panning out.
Errrm no. More RAM allows more multi tasking, the processor determines OS speed.
Bold's 624MHz > Curve's 512MHz
The additional RAM of the Curve is helpful though as it allows you to have multiple background apps running without as much slow down and the Bold could do with this badly as 128Mb is not enough.
Battery life is neither here nor there now that the latest Bold OS updates allow you to disable 3G, if you are that way inclined. Plus no smartphone has decent battery life anyway...unless you just have it running with nothing in the background and never use it lol.
Both phones are good but my personal preference, having tried both, is the Bold. So I bought one.
Bold 2 on release however will destroy anything else in the range.

I got my bold a few weeks ago and love it! Such an awesome piece of kit. I've ordered the parts to make mine look like this:

it's not a computer mate. the curve operates much faster than the bold, i used both for months, but i guess you know best...lol
believe me, the number of bolds we've sent back because of s**t batterys is unreal. curves just last ages no matter how many things you have open at once. can't praise it enough, think you made the right choice.

"It's not a computer" SERIOUSLY? How do you think it runs an operating system? Magic? Technically it's not a PC but it runs using the same basic technology. Motherboard - check. Processor - check. Harddrive (albeit solid state) - check. RAM - check. Operating system - check. Shall I go on?
My personal opinion is that the Bold is a better phone. I'm a consumer user, I couldn't give two squirts of piss if it doesn't match the life expectancy in the professional market and I'd assume neither could anyone else that's not planning to use it for business or over BES; if battery life were a major concern for consumers do you really think the iPhone with it's one hour standby time would be the most popular smartphone in the world? I run my Bold all day everyday usually from 05:30 till gone 23:00 on one battery charge. I have at least six background processes running at any one time with 3G always on and constantly hammer intensive applications such as Facebook, Ubertwitter and Google Maps. I've only once, since buying my Bold, killed the battery completely and that was because I didn't give it a proper charge the night before but I guess you know best...lol.
