Just picked up a used 9780

**OriginalLucy** · 04-28-2012, 09:00 AM

Bought this used and all I can say is, why didn't I do this sooner? 3 days on the battery with bridging, BT,wifi all on. Listening to music in the gym and put back on charger last night with 15 percent left. Wow. I love this previously loved berry.

it is a good device, way above the other devices you have listed in your profile

**OriginalLucy** · 04-28-2012, 09:11 AM

I thought I would get this one until the next generation is released, and I will not regret it, it seems.

i like my 9700 which is closely related to the 9780, and was all around my favorite device!

Would have to say i was pleasantly pleased with the battery as well when i had the 9780 this 9360 battery needs an upgrade

now thinking about getting 9790 hummm could be sooner rather than later...

Excellent device with good battery life did a great job. But too used on my 9900 for now.

the 9780 was a tank. best BB i ever used.

**OriginalLucy** · 04-29-2012, 08:15 AM

Wow, thanks for confirming that I picked the right one.

I did too got it used a nice white one, and it stutters... That is a blower because i feel like changing back to my curve 8900. It also makes me push harder for the "w" button. I payed 130 which is fair but i feel ripped off for getting a defective phone. I ordered a new full housing kit and it should be here any day now, i hope there is a good samaritan that will help me. Thanks im Gabe. Peace

Be sure you bought ''OEM'' keyboard so less chance it will minimize the typing experience.
The 97XX are one of the easiest to replace the full housings. Don't worry it's really easy.
Just take some look on Youtube and in no time you are fixing it.

check the link in my sig if your keyboard starts stuttering letters.

**USCTrojan4JC** · 04-30-2012, 01:58 AM

yaredaya, if you have OS 6.0.0.650 or newer (I think), the keyboard shouldn't stutter.

This man talks the truth. Bold's before .650 OS were a pain. My phone would stutter like a mad man, totally at random, and was a right pain to use. Swapped to a newer OS and all is now calm. Stunningly so. You also get better UMA on a new OS (and the upgrade is really simple. Easier than swapping the keyboard out)

Currently running .666 and love it. Often laugh at the tiny batteries of iPhone\Android users. Okay, so they have more apps than we do, then then I have a PC and Tablet for apps. My Blackberry is my communications device. (And music player... web browser... etc)

Bolds are great. (They also survive being dropped much better that some poncey touch phone)

I get almost two days out of my iPhone before I have to charge it. & that's with heavy browsing, tweeting, gFBing, textin, moderate phone calls, & listening to music.
iPhone 4S battery > BB battery.

Why are you trolling the BlackBerry Thread with your isheep stuff?

I assume the guy must be lost. With a phone that only lasts two days on a single charge his mapping app probably failed him. Always funny to see the sheep try and explain the extreme cost and yet crap battery.

**OriginalLucy** · 05-06-2012, 08:28 AM

Yes, sorry for taking the bait, but, it is tiring to have to have a conversation ruined by someone looking for validation. I digress, the Bold 9780 is one great device and should keep me happy until the BB 10 device rolls out, and even beyond, if needed. Cheers

**troppan** · 05-08-2012, 02:52 PM

haha, I have a iphone 4s to... With a sim card only for surfing the internett and things like that. It always lies in my sofa and I use it as people use a iPad... If I start to call and everything it lasts for one day.
