Bought a 9900 to play with

reeneebob · Thread Author #1 02-19-2012, 03:26 PM

I decided that to be a better BB salesperson, since the last daily use I had with a BB was os6, I should get a 9900. So I added a line and will be using both my bb and iPhone (I have it set so I can sim swap between the two with a base BB plan on the add a line and 6 gb BB data on iPhone).

Now to get used to it again. It's been a while. It won't be my main driver as I love my iPhone too much but I will be using it when I can.

Anything I should know?

You know what say "once you go black......". It's a great phone. Enjoy

Oh I've got a bunch of old BBs. Lol. It's just my first in a while.

Set the web browser font size to 21

Lol. I'm out and about so it's at home right now but I do know I will need to shrink the OS and maybe throw 7.1 on it. I didn't have much time to get it set up yet.

it's not actually needed to shrink OS7, it's already good though.

Start looking for a buyer for your iphone.

Oh lord no. My baby isn't going anywhere, just into a rotation. We shall see but I do know that during setup I already missed the screen size of my 4. I don't think I could full time go back to a smaller screen. That said, I love the keyboard.

I also love that I finally got the iPhone running on a BB data plan. It took an hour and much hair pulling lol.

Definitely throw .267 in it. If you can spare a few $$$ a month, I'd also suggest getting a tethering plan on that line and a PlayBook. you know, just to be able to sell the whole experience.

My 6 GB plan includes tethering already lol. Don't foresee a playbook though...

Been thinking about doing this. What exactly was giving you issues? Did you buy an adapter for the sim card?

You can use a microsim in the Bold 9900 no problem. I slide it in and it sits tightly in the slot. No need for cheap adapters that might break.

I got a sim adapter, yes. I also added a BB data plan to my iPhone line and then, on the iPhone browser, went to Unlockit - APN Changer for your iPhone - selected my country and carrier, and it installed the spoofed APN setting that allows the iPhone to connect to BB data. It's just that Bell has 2 apn's and there was some confusion on getting them working. It's flawless now though.
