I reactivated my HTC Rezound last night to see what ICS was like and after just 2 hours my bold was reactivated! You don't know how good a blackberry is until you don't have one anymore!
I'm in the same boat as all of you. Been a BB user since the 7250 then had the curve 8310, then 8800, 9000, 9800, 9850, 9860 and then switched to an iPhone 4 because I got it for free. I also have a playbook which i enjoy using and pulling out to sow off. I enjoy the 4 but I miss BB. I enjoy all the extra useless apps iOS has available but as I said they can be useless and a waste of valuable time. I have a Nexus 7 to get my Android fix and my wife has an iPad. I have a 9900 sitting on my dresser waiting to be activated for over a week now and until I saw this thread it made me want to activate it and give my wife the iPhone.
Thank out all for helping, that's what I like about Crackberry and everyone who is apart of this community.
Mark1974 why do you have to buy a different device each week? One week PlayBook so you can bridge then you get rid of the Bold. What gives man?
Dont know why. Guess its adult ADD! Lol. Each one serves a purpose for me. I still have my Bold and PB. And my Note. Depends on the mood or what my week entails. I am a PE teacher and high school coach so carrying the Note around in sweatpants is silly. Yet some days i have to pull up a scouting report or check the other teams stats and use the Note with a bigger screen. Yeah the PB could do that too but I dont have it in my pocket.
I'm almost back after selling my Galaxy S2 Monday and and buying a Bold 9900 off eBay. It should be here tomorrow. iPhone was and never will be an option for many reasons. Swype and Touchpal were usable to me on the S2 as I dread typing on a screen but error correction was slow and painful. I just missed how functional my old Bold 9700 UI was. That 9700 still serves me well as my work phone. When the BB10 Bold and Torch replacements drop I may get one and make the 9900 my work phone. That's if I can handle not having the trackpad and 4 buttons should they be absent.
I sold my 9930 to buy a DROID Bionic to get used to the touch screen in preparation for BB10. It was a good phone, but I missed my 9930 so badly that I went back to Verizon and bought one full price. I am SO happy! Now I know for sure that I will wait for BB10 with the keyboard. Actually I am not in that much of a hurry for BB10 anymore. When it gets here it gets here!
I put my 9900 up on Craiglist today just to get a feeler. I was upset last night because i had to do a battery pull when it froze up. Got up this morning and I had a dozen interested parties! I told one I'd meet him tomorrow. Well now I think Ive changed my mind! I am typing on it and want to just keep it. How do i tell the buyer I want to keep it? Lol. I'm hopeless!
Received in the mail and set up my mint used Bold 9900 today. I forgot how slick BBM was and don't miss the big screen of my S2 at all. This keyboard is outstanding. What an amazing device. I'm so glad to be back!
