just got my 9850 and this mobile phone is very very nice. the corp store i went to didnt have any 9930's in stock. rep said everyone is coming that phone. but sprint never sent them their order. only thing it does not come with a pouch as we're used to with BB.

How do you like it? I tried it out and it was pretty neat but I picked up a 9930.

i really like it a lot, the faster processor really makes a difference. feels perfect in your hand. the screen size is perfect. some apps aren't working with bb7 tho. blackberry protect, dropbox, and a few others.

I played with both the 9850 and 9930 today in the Sprint store. I'm still not sure which way to go. The landscape typing on the 9850 seemed to work well for me, but the portrait wasn't working well at all. Also not sure I like the predictive text fill in. OS was smooth on both, but I didn't like that both kept going to mobile Crackberry site and not the full. I'll need to stop again sometime to make a more informed decision.

Also I'm trying to decide now if I want to stay with Sprint or switch to either AT&T or T-Mobile. AT&T would be the same price as I will have to pay Sprint once I get hit with the $10 per phone per month upgrade on my 4 lines, plus AT&T now has the 9810. T-Mobile would be $60 per month less after the increase but they may only get the 9900 and new Curve. VZ is just more expensive. $10 per month increase to get a Blackberry that will use no more data and uses the same old CDMA network just doesn't sound appealing especially when HSPA+ is available in my area from both GSM carriers. Single lines I think Sprint is still the value leader, but for Family Plans they are now maybe 2nd most expensive and I don't need unlimited data with a Blackberry device. If it weren't for that $40 per month to upgrade I'd probably have jumped on one of these new devices today (probably the 9850 too).
