Amazing
14 years ago
Ok so I never write reviews but I noticed this phone was getting a bad rep because of the "battery issue". Well folks here's how to fix it!!!!!!! Drain your battery to red, power phone "off" (using the end call key) plug in and charge for 8 hours (yes powered off for 8 hours horrible lol). Power on and unplug. Now you'll have the battery life of the beloved 9700!!!!!! This phone has no problems whatsoever. I love this device and I switched from an iPhone 4! One more tip: hold alt, shift, delete and it performs a reset without pulling the battery. If you do this every few days no freezing. Not once! I almost feel like this info should be on bb website. :). Happy texting everyone.

Jury is still out
14 years ago
Where to start...had the bold 9000 for 2 years..yes TWO!! LOVED IT!!...track ball gave out had to change. Got the Torch which I have been using for a year, never could get into it, but the BEST battery life I have ever had in a smart phone. I was hoping this was going to be the ONE to have. Not so much, and now that I have it I've been reading a lot of issues with it. The biggest is battery life...it STINKS!! It uses battery when it's not being used?? Most people have been getting up to 3 hours standby. HORRIBLE!! I'm still working on the problem thru forums, so we'll see. If not I'll be sadly going to Android or iPhone?

Blackberry 9900 Bold
11 years ago
I've had Blackberry devices for years and love them. I made the mistake of trying an I phone for a month or so and couldn't wait to get back to the Bold. The keyboard is wonderful and battery life has never been a problem. I don't remember ever having a dropped call that was caused by the phone. I use the camera to send photos to clients and am satisfied with its abilities. I use the speaker app system constantly and have never heard a complaint from anyone. Internet speed can be a little slow but that's not a major problem for me and I think that has been addressed in the new Classic which will be my next device. I have saved all my previous Blackberry's and now have a small "museum" of them which goes waaaayyyy back

Great phone
12 years ago
I switched from a 9810 to the 9900. Q10 has great stats, but I didn't want to give up the trackpad. Phone is quick to respond to commands and feels great in my hand. I am a heavy emailer/texter and this phone is extremely comfortable to type on. I have no complaints about BBOS 7; it's a self-explanatory OS. I am happy with my purchase.

Great business phone. The keyboard is great to type with and the phone is fast. Call clearity, ringer volume, and screen are all excellent. The only issues would be battery life and lack of apps. Otherwise its one outstanding phone.

Q: How is this phone compared to the iphone 4?
14 years ago4 Answers
- A: There is no comparison between the two. I had this one while my husband had the iPhone 4. I used my BB for business, and I never saw business-friendliness in the iPhone. BB is more professional; iPhone is more "fun." BB has decent apps, although not nearly as many as iPhone.14 years agoHelpful?
Q: what do yall think i should get,the bb torch 9810 or the bb bold 9000
14 years ago4 Answers
- A: I believe you meant 9810 or 9900 (not 9000). I owned both, the Torch slider and the Bold 9900. The 9810 is a bit more resistant, since it features more metal all around, however, that makes it heavier. The keyboard on the Bold 9900 is wider and better than on the Torch 9810, but the screen on the Torch is bigger than that on the Bold 9900. The battery life and camera are better on the Torch. My preference is the Bold 9900, because it is thinner, lighter and looks more elegant.14 years agoHelpful?
