I'd love to come back...but...
I really was excited about coming back to BlackBerry again from the iPhone 4S with the 9900...really I was, and I had a "Back To Black" thread here. But, even though I was prepared to commit to learning the BB from top to bottom...the overtly "busy" OS was to blame for me coming back to the limited, but simply effective functionality of the iPhone.
I hate to admit it, but I miss the 9900 a lot. It was the first BB since the 8xxx Curve models that were actually loud enough through the earpiece speaker for me, and that's a huge deal given that I have some hearing imparement. I loved the keypad, could live with the poor battery life (although it's not that much worse than my iPhone), and although it's almost TOO thin...I loved the build and "look" of it. It is certainly a sexy device.
What I hated...was the horizontal scrolling dock, and the vertically adjustable icon screen. Why can't it be like the good old days...with the single line of homescreen icons available on the dock, and the full icon screen being easily accessable by clicking the BlackBerry menu key. Simplistic & effective. The constantly having to jack with the side to side and up and down movement business drove me absolutely freaking nuts.
I feel like if I could somehow disable the scrolling and icon screen...I would jump back to the 9900 in a heartbeat from the iPhone 4S.
Is there any way to do this that you've found?
