- One thing I just discovered and really appreciate is the pinch to zoom on the touch screen. Very easy to use and nice added feature. Also scrolling verticall and horizontally is very fast and smooth. I just upgraded the OS to 7.0.0.187.

I think about the 9900 at home, in the shower, on the toilet, in the car, at work, in bed, etc. I would say 99% of the time when I'm on my 9780, I'm researchng the 9900 (on crackberry ), hoping for a release date to pop up already!paolomusic likes this.07-10-11 06:16 AMLike 1 - You are fortunate to state that you received a bold 9900 but I have to say that although the 9900 may be superior to the Torch, the Torch touch screen is the best to date on a blackberry and the keyboard is clearly BB quality.
I will seriously consider the Bold Touch but I do love the Torch. As of today, the Torch is the fastest and has the biggest and most responsive display outside the Storm and I must say, the touchscreen experience on that device did need improvements.07-10-11 07:38 AMLike 0 - The OS update went smooth and everything is working great.

Have had the device on since charging using web, sms, bbm and twitter. I just checked the battery and its 85%. I think I gave the impression that I have been using the device non stop since charging and that would be incorrect. I have had some down time, stand by, etc. I think it will take several days of use to get an accurate battery discharge rate.
BTW - Shouldn't you be at Howie's house?07-10-11 07:45 AMLike 0 - I have no idea, mine just arrived via UPS over night shipping from a friend. Maybe you need better friends. LOL

I guess a lot of software optimization has been done. I'll be happy if it just lasts the entire day comfortably as I charge every night. Lately, I've had to charge my 9550 2-3x a day. I have been using it heavily though, but still...pretty unacceptable.07-10-11 07:49 AMLike 0

It is showing AT&T on the device screen because it has a AT&T SIM in the device. These devices are unbranded and unlocked
But, AT&T will get is first as they are the best carrier and have the best network!DawgMan and anon(73368) like this.07-10-11 08:07 AMLike 2 - kbz1960Doesn't MatterI wish that were so but it is really that only that a couple of AT&T users happe to have the 9900.

I mentioned in an earlier post about the geography of the state causing a lack of solid coverage. For example, I live inside the city limits of Charleston and at my home, with At&T I usually only get Edge, with Verizon, the service is even worse. That combined with the fact that WV really doesn't have the large metro areas means we will not see drastic improvements any time soon.

- Nice. If it goes a full day with normal to heavy use that's good enough for me. My 9650 does not make a full day when I travel. When I did a trial w/ 9700 it was much better than my Tour at the time.07-10-11 08:53 AMLike 0
- I have a customer with one of those. He started with a really crappy signal, boosted it, and ended up with full bars of really crappy signal. Not a great thing, for him at least.07-10-11 09:33 AMLike 0
- Are younsaying that the device showed full bars of service but in reality the device was still getting the same poor reception?
