Here, let me clear up the obvious to the majority confusion by not answering your question with another question:

9790

More compact
better camera

9900

Much larger handset
Bigger screen
HD recording
Bigger keyboard.

Glad to help friend.

Pretty straight forward. Buy the 9900. If you can't afford / don't like or prefer the 9790 get that.

We've put a man on the moon.....this should be rather straight forward haha

*"Upgrade to our best ever Blackberry smart phone" ! Is the 9900 ad older than the other ?

They both appeared on the same web page at the same time. I thought it was quite amusing. As surely there can be only one 'best' I do suppose the -ever is the get out.

Lol Lewis. Yeah they've made an error.

Either may be the best bb depending on a persons view I guess. I like ambiguous advertising......keeps us on our toes.

+ we're talking about it !

the 9900 came out months before the 9790. I mean they are both the latest Blackberry Bold line up, which is their flagship line up. alnamvet68 mentioned the points earlier about the differences. But i agree that the marketing line could have been done better to differentiate the 2 device, rather than using the same tag line.

If you can afford it, the 9900 is the best.
If you can't try the 9790.

The ad simply miss the "for you" statement ...

Can't they both be the best? People routinely say that the 8330 was the best BlackBerry they ever owned. Yet, they don't have one anymore...
