Hello crackberry users,

I'm new to this forum but I do read some of the posts beforehand.

First of all, I have iPhone 3G and Nokia E5 (not showing off). And I'm kinda bored with it so I decided to buy a new phone which is from Blackberry for sure.

But now, I'm kinda confuse. Should I just buy the Blackberry Bold 9700 or wait for the Blackberry Bold 9780 ? I know some place have the 9780 already, but for my country, which is Brunei Darussalam, waiting is kinda frustrating since it'll take a long-long time or the 9780 won't come at all.

Anyone can share their experience?

Just some info for you guys, I'm not a hardcore mobile phone gamer and not much of a camera user. I'm just a hardcore in text-messaging, web-browsing and facebook-ing.

Thanks in advance guys for any help. Appreciate it.

I would go for either the 9700 or 9780 in your situation, I would though wait for the 9780.

Hey,if money is not a problem,you could import a set of 9780 and then unlock it so that you can use it in Brunei?

[Azim-Latip]

Importing the phone will make the price moreee expensive due to tax and the mobile phone will be hold for check.

Anyways; another question. Without blackberry service provided in my country, I can still use 3G connection provided by my carrier right? (GPRS) and also wifi?

You will not be able to access any BlackBerry Data features without a BlackBerry Data Plan from your phone service carrier/provider.

Thanks for the response Motorcycle_Mama.. What I meant is by web-browsing, facebook and youtube. Is it accessible by using my carrier's internet network?

You will need a BlackBerry Data Plan in order access those features.

Data should work if you were on a wifi network connection but not with 3G due to it running through BIS/BES Servers to access data.

You will not be able to use the BlackBerry browser or the Facebook app without a BlackBerry data plan. If your carrier does not offer BIS, it would be a waste of money to buy a BlackBerry.
