- Same here. I have been utilizing an android device for the last several months. While I appreciate the multimedia options this device brings, I strongly miss the email/messaging superiority of Blackberry. Again, as a loyal Verizon customer, I am patiently awaiting the newest Bold device to be released.03-04-11 01:19 PMLike 0

Option of an unlocked phone.

- here's a dumb questions for you guys....will this bb have an on screen keyboard too? i wouldn't think so since 2 keyboards at all times would be overkill, but hey in the world of bb you never know. i hope it doesn't. i hate the torch's small on screen keyboard.
and on that same note, are the "buttons" touch as well? Or are they actually buttons? (the keyboard i mean)Last edited by olliegrl; 03-11-11 at 05:54 PM.

The buttons are all physical buttons (including the ones next to the keypad).03-11-11 06:59 PMLike 0 - I had the 9000 for a year and a half, then upgraded to the 9700.. went back to the 9000 just to see how it felt. and.. well.. it felt way too big! I just now picked the 9000 up again and compared to my 9700 I dont know if I could go back to the 9000 - even with a touch screen.. now if the 9700 had a touch screen!03-11-11 11:19 PMLike 0

Again I know it is bigger, but isn't like woah I can't use this...it is wayyy to big.
I personally think it is just fine in size. 9700 is nice too. Don't think you could lose either way. Now you go much bigger than a 9000 or smaller than a 9700, then I can see complaints.
With that said plenty of people love the size of those 4" phones and many love the Pearl series size as well...
Good to have options.

They made it a bit wider but I would have like to see them make it a bit longer too, and just looking externally it looks like they had the room to do it, but once again I won't pretend to know. But if the screen were a little longer it'd be nearing perfection.03-13-11 04:24 PMLike 0

When you put both phones side by side, the 9780 looks like the knewer design while the dakota looks like the old tech.
I'm talking pure astedics here...03-14-11 08:15 AMLike 0 - That's why I always said that I'd rather have a 9780 thats similar in size to what the dakota is now. It just seems like RIM is going backward with this form factor while every other device they make, including the other 2011 models seem to be following in the frame design of the 9780... hey, its just a good design... they should just stick with what works well and stop experimenting with these different housings that make these things look less like signature blackberries today03-14-11 08:19 AMLike 0
- i love the form factor of the 9000.. and not to sound sexist here but i find the 9000 more of a man phone.. especially if you have big hands.
IMHO, it's what a true phone should look and feel like.03-14-11 10:57 AMLike 0
