- Good evening all... Just traded in my 9790 for a 9900... I was actually quite happy with my 9790, great camera, light, stable and dependable... What I did not like was the size of the keyboard... I am absolutely blown away with how good the 9900 keyboard is... I just upgraded from 267 to 523 and just waiting for the operating system to stabalize and after a few more battery pulls all should be well... All in all, I love this phone!!!... Well done RIM...AlienSlacker likes this.07-05-12 11:49 PMLike 1
- Its a fantastic phone, that keyboard is so good I can rattle out texts, emails etc in no time with the 9900. I actually tried the 9790 too something funny though about the keypad buttons along the left and right hand sides almost difficult to use. But generally the 9790 is a great phone too. Love them both, love Blackberry and Blackberry by choice.07-06-12 03:08 AMLike 0
- No regrets at all... The only thing I miss is the auto-focus, that being said, the beneifits of this phone far out way any less than perfect picture taking... I am going to post in the 9790 forum as I received a tremeandous amount of help from those fine folks... I think Ike1 might now be self aware of what he has done... lol... Thanks again,

That extra millimeter makes a huge difference, IMHO.
But regardless, the 9900 keyboard is unrivaled.

By no way you can compare the bigger keyboard, but remember that the 9900 is bigger and heavier than the 9790.
With the 9900 I have to reboot the phone almost every 3 days because it gets slugish.
With the 9790 it lasted over 1 week without rebooting.
From my bad experiences I will never buy a 9900 until RIM releases an updated version.
Maybe the new 9900 phones have something different inside that avoids all the issues I hate. But because RIM does not say nothing about the bricking issue I am happier with the 9790.07-08-12 03:00 AMLike 0 - I still think that the 9790 is better.

My husband finally "allowed" me to buy one because I was so crestfallen after reading the news I think he wanted to make me feel better. I couldn't be happier with my device and I'm currently reading up all the info I can in the forums.
(By the way, I did not need permission to buy an item. I just agreed to not buy the bold because it didn't make sense to get a bold and then my bb10 within months. It was a want not a need. I know how to pick my battles! Hehe :P )07-12-12 07:25 PMLike 0 - I've had mine for almost 1 year and am still impressed. Typing on the keyboard at this point is nearly intuitive. Rarely even look down at it anymore. You will only be happier once you spend a little time with it! Its an awesome device. I am on Vz and despite the higher monthly fee, nothing compares to the coverage and truly the finest Cs in the industry. Enjoy your great Bold!07-12-12 09:44 PMLike 0
