I've had my 9900 on T-Mobile for just three weeks , and slightly off topic, Tmo's coverage has improved incredibly (Central NJ and Ft. Lauderdale, FL). Anyhoo, my battery is slightly less hardy than my 9700, which was terrific in that department. But the device itself is wonderful (keyboard, etc.) I couldn't be happier. I also have an iphone 4 which has been improved since the update to ios 5, but still it can't compete with bb in terms of speed of communications. And it seems the battery is fading. Today it went from 85% to dead as a doornail. Pop it out and replace? I think not.

So that's the difference. But in ACTUAL use, I can't stand the iPhone battery life. I actually bought multiple portable battery chargers to get through a day. iOS lies about the actual USAGE meter. It's not REAL usage, it's system usage and always rounding up. So the 5 hours you'd get is maybe really 2 hours or so. I have an iPhone 4 and believe me, battery life on the 9900 is WAY better.

Wow, the bold is still more expensive than an iphone 4s. I guess it is a better phone with superior hardware and software.10-28-11 06:31 PM - Ugh. Really? You have to insult all who use an iPhone as a daily driver/workhorse quite successfully?Simple things for simple minds and all that
...i still have my ip4 but dear god i could never use that as a daily device...it would drive me nuts but for my mp3s, web browsing and a few apps...it does its job. Luckily for me i have the best of both worlds my 9900 as my daily workhorse and my ip4 as my multimedia device.10-28-11 06:45 PM - Did he just say he had an "iphone 4S" 3-4 monthsI am afraid that my 4S has replaced my Blackberry and I am not looking back. It has now been 3-4 months and instead of going back and forth between the two, the iPhone 4S won me over.
Never thought this would happen
has it been that long already 10-29-11 09:30 PM - I am on the fence as to what to get as a companion to my 9930. I'd like a non-BB device, just for kicks. I thought I was going for the iP4S but I felt strangely unsatisfied. I realised I missed the ability to change themes and the level of customisation on the Atrix. Much to my overwhelming surprise, I thought longingly of my Atrix, like I really wanted to keep it isntead of the new iP4S.Simple things for simple minds and all that...i still have my ip4 but dear god i could never use that as a daily device...it would drive me nuts but for my mp3s, web browsing and a few apps...it does its job. Luckily for me i have the best of both worlds my 9900 as my daily workhorse and my ip4 as my multimedia device. Me!!!!! I don't TRUST Android!!!!
So I'll wait for the 9860, give that a go and see how I react to it.
Increasingly, it appears that I will return to my Atrix after all. Wait for the 9860 to test it out, just so I can honestly say I tried it. Then try out the Atrix 2.
I'll keep my 9930 as my daily driver, of course. I am primarily a BB user. Keep all my sensitive stuff on that. Use the increasingly likely Atrix or Atrix 2 as the entertainment device.10-30-11 05:42 AM
