Just received my "new to me" Bold 9900!!
Although I had several Bolds back in the day, coming off of using a Classic then Passport and most recently a Priv my first impression was "oh wow this is smaller than I remember"!! Keyboard feels great though! Browser speed is manageable *on WiFi so far anyway. Can't wait to get a Sim from AT&T and get this gorgeous lil' guy up and running!!

How about some pics?
Using an adapter is no issue for most, just don't incert the SIM like in the countless Youtube vids where they do it so quickly they are lucky they don't break a pin! And if that happens then it is pretty much toast. Yes some prefer to use the SIM without an adapter, but I personally prefer the adapter because it gives you something more to get a grasp on when incerting or removing.
It's still plenty fast and fun to use. No Bloatware to bog it down.
Yes if doing the service books is an issue (sometimes it isn't enough to send them yourself on the 9900) you will have to keep trying with your provider until you get someone that remembers how to send them. I was lucky that I got a girl with Rogers when I had to call.....she started in 2010 or so and all she did was Blackberry she said, so I was glad she knew exactly what to do.....it sounded like a bit of work!
I have never had to worry about BIS with Rogers in Canada, it is always included and I do not have to call everytime I switch devices or anything like that.
