Well, Apple has standardized on the iPod dock style connector, which is actually even appearing in a lot of new cars. I wish I could charge BlackBerries with a USB cable from the computer. They always display the message that it won't charge over USB. That way I could just bring the computer, computer charger, and USB / Dock cable, and eliminate a separate BB charger.

That brings me to another point. With the iPhone, I can play music through my car stereo and select songs from the headunit / steering wheel. Car integration is getting better and better every year. How would I get songs to play with the Bold through the car? I don't think most factory Bluetooth systems support music streaming though the car.

When I get to the hotel, I connect the iPhone with the Apple Component AV cable to the hotel HDTV input panel to watch my movies and TV shows on the big screen. Does the Bold do that?

I guess in my case I'm more into the media / entertainment aspects of the device instead of the email, which is what I think the Bold does best.
