    If a person knows what "alt+shift+del" does then why would anyone pull the back off and take the battery out? All touch screen maybe? I never did get why so many people talk about pulling the battery out of the phone. Until recently the Storm 1&2 were the only phones where "alt+shift+del" couldn't be used.

    Why do people insist on taking the battery out?

    I think if you are going to buy a phone without a keyboard, just get the 4S.
    Just skip considering any other phone and go directly to iPhone? Is that what all the slab users should do?

    I can only speak for myself: alt+shift+del keys did not reboot my Bold well at all; worked maybe 15% of the time. Often already in a state of some degree of aggravation from a freeze up or other malfunction, it was just easier to pop the battery out than continue pressing the keys hoping to get lucky.

    On my 9800, I always had to hold in alf + shift + del for at least 20 seconds before it did anything. So it was faster in the end for me to take the battery out.

    Well, alt-shift-delete is considered a "soft" reset. It does not work as well as taking the battery out does, which is considered a "hard" reset.

    Is the 9900 out in the US yet? And which company will it be with, or is it with? I have ATT and I don't see it there yet.

    9930 is on VZW and Sprint, and the 9900 is on T-Mobile. AT&T is the only major carrier that doesn't have it.

    Just great. I always thought ATT was the main BB carrier.

    I am pretty sure they have the most BIS/BES subscribers on their network in the US. VZW is #2 for BBs I believe.

    Yup. If you want a phone with a real keyboard, the 9900/9930 is the one to get. If you are content to type on glass, might as well get the number one slab phone.
