How hard is it to come from Galaxy S2 to BOLD 9900?
- Matty, honestly take some time and think about your decision. The S2 is one heck of a phone. I rooted, SIM unlocked, and loaded a custom rom and kernel. Love the bold for the keyboard but that's about it.AceStreaming likes this.09-20-11 08:03 PMLike 1
- Have both and on the 9900 at the moment only cause its new There are advantages to both phones but I find I do most things quicker on the BB. Comms on BB and Media/Browsing/Entertainment an and android tablet for me seems the best compromise.
On a side note I got better battery life from my S2 rooted with custom ROM, no overclock needed as its so damn fast anyway Tough Choice.....09-20-11 08:11 PMLike 0 -

Add to that the lack of truly good document handling, even after purchasing two programs for it, and the constant need to tweak something just led to me wanting something else. The reviews of the Bold on CrackBerry and elsewhere helped me towards the store.09-21-11 04:18 AMLike 0 -

Physical keyboard
Ability to increase font size
Signal strength/call quality
Better email
Notifications
All around the bold is more business friendlier than my incredible and it is easier to navigate the device and I am more productive.
The biggest thing with the new bold is the keyboard and its size people seem to really like what rim did !Chrisy likes this.09-21-11 05:27 AMLike 1 - you can change and dont think 2wice about it..especially if you need it for business where emails are a priority (corporate)
android based phones just dont have the consistency..there are so many different phones so you always have to learn how to use them..from what i have seen they are nowhere near the easiness of use of BBs...
when i buy a BB, i know what i get and i know where everything will be...probably the same with iphones..
if your friends have BBs and BBMs, you MUST get a BB..i tried to convince my sister of this and she went and got a nokia E6..do you believ that? if there is a dying breed then its a nokia..i tried using it and i was like man..BB is light years ahead of it in terms of ease of use and the buttons...and the OS...
my wife has got a BB for the first time (9900) and she is absolutely loving it...alot more than her old iphone 3g..09-21-11 05:48 AMLike 0 - I'll give you my opinion on this as I have A Galaxy S2 and a BB 9930. They are two completely different phones. IMO Android email sucks. It doesn't work nearly as well as Blackberry which is why I use my 9930 for work as I am very dependent on email.
Battery life is about equal. I can get through a full day with both phones.
Everything else about the GS2 is superior. It has imo the best fastest and fullest web browser of any phone out there right now (I also have an iPhone 4) and compared to Blackberry, the customization options are endless. It also has a better screen and the keyboard argument is really a matter of taste. I can type great on both phones.
The camera is waaaaay better on the GS2 so if you take a lot of pictures you will be missing it. Also, if you are more media centered in your phone watching movies and listening to music is a much better experience on the GS2.
That's just my opinion. I love BB's but they are completely different phones. BB's are somewhat more vanilla and are still behind the current Android and Apple offerings out there.09-21-11 06:56 AMLike 0 -
You really didn't need to put that in. Both the devices are good on their own ways.09-21-11 05:16 PMLike 0 - I didn't realize at first, especially when I first got the Sensation, but I think the main reason I wanted to move away from it and was even considering the BlackBerry was messaging. Whether texting, chatting in GTalk, emailing, or typing something into WordPress I found myself trying to save a quick note instead of finishing. I was waiting until I got to my tablet, or computer, or I just never finished. On-screen typing was starting to frustrate me. Swype chose the wrong words. Swiftkey, as good as it is, mispelled words. The default Android keyboard is pretty mediocre. I was getting annoyed.09-21-11 05:20 PMLike 0
- Depends if you need or want lots of Apps to keep you occupied. I don't but need to communicate globally and a physical kb. BB wins for me, hands down.
