1. The BB screen adapts to environment brightness, even if you set it at 10 as soon as you walk into a brighter environment it will turn it up, the only time you'll see it at 10 is in the dark. You have to untick automatically dim backlight box, then the screen light will remain constant. Personally I find the 10 setting too bright.
Battery saving mode in the latest leak makes a huge difference in battery life.
2. Browser might "suck" but it lets you do more things then the iphone browser, download, upload, you don't need Tapatalk to be able to upload pics to this forum for example. You can also open more tabs too, I had 20 open at one point.
I'm not trying to convince you by the way, just pointing a few things out
02-23-12 05:53 PM - Even though you are a Sharks girl (sorry, I'm a Sens girl lol) - I agree. The NHL apps for iPhone run CIRCLES around the 9900. I missed out on the Antoine Vermette trade yesterday because I don't have Tradecentre. When I turned on my iPhone there was a friggin' notification of the trade. This is TRADE DEADLINE people. I MUST BE CONNECTED AT ALL TIMES!Main reason right there why I couldn't ever go back to BB. I miss my apps. The NHL app I had on my Storm2 hadn't been updated since 2010. I got my iPhone in October 2011 if that tells you anything.
Welcome back.
If I couldn't own both and run my iPhone off my BB plan, I'd sell the 9900. As it is, it may end up being the backup phone or the phone I use on days when I may be heavy emailing or texting for whatever reason, or just if I feel like a change. Being able to run the iPhone of the BB plan makes all the difference. It's nice to have a spare phone just in case something happens, considering my spares were my old 8330 ane 8130 and they don't take SIMs so that gets a tad complicated if something happens. It costs me $8 a month more to have it so I'll keep it, but it won't be my primary phone at all.02-23-12 11:24 PM - 1) It is unticked. It doesn't help the battery at all and I can't stand 10%, it's way too dark for me. I am also running the newest leak.1.

2) I have no need to have 20 tabs open on my laptop let alone a cell phone. However, I can open more than enough tabs in safari. I prefer browsing this forum on Tapatalk, and have for years.
The downsides are simply more than the upsides at this point. The kicker for me was the Vermette trade. I'm Canadian. I live and breathe the trade deadline.
02-23-12 11:28 PM - American here, but I'm keeping an eye on what Doug Wilson (Sharks GM) does. He's notorious for waiting until about ten minutes before the deadline and making a blockbuster move. Rumor was Sharks are looking to get Rick Nash from Columbus, but at what price? He won't come cheap.I'm Canadian. I live and breathe the trade deadline.
Anyway, back on topic - All of the apps on my iPhone have been updated at least twice since I got it. Absolutely love that fact. I also can't stand my screen bright. Even when I'm outside working with the horses, my iPhone screen is easier to read than my S2 screen is.02-24-12 08:50 AM
