It may sound funny, but I'm wondering about if a jump from 9780 to not the 9900 but the next unit may make sense, if a sequel is even on the horizon. Perhaps it's just too soon to be talking about this sort of stuff. Since the merge is in the cards with T-Mobile/AT&T, I am looking to use my upcoming upgrade on the 9900 if only to lock my price in for another 2 years. Anyone else wondering?
I will get the 9900.
But having the mysterious QNX hoovering over the future makes me wonder if the 9900 will become obsolete quicker than the average BB. That will hack off a lot of their customers... they haven't released a new Bold for a while... so it would seem they will have a large loyal base jump to the 9900. They better not disappoint that group.
I am so tired of waiting for the 9900 I couldn't imagine starting to think about the next one lol
I think the horizon is a long way away...

Think about it this way: You're all here because you love Blackberry. So what if QNX blows Blackberry 7 out of the water? 7 will still be the best functioning version of the software you've been using for the past number of years... There's no rush.
No I'm not, whatever phone I get next I'll have for 2 years anyway.
Everything is up in the air right now because there are new people working on it now. So this could be a game changer....or now. No one knows.
Sounds like you've got a LOT of free time to ponder the distant future... You'll be kicking yourself if you don't hold out for the QNX2 phones...
:rolleyes:
QNX phones will be out within a year of the Bold 9900 release. RIM has let it be known that pushing out these QNX phones is top priority. I plan on getting the Bold and dumping it off on my wife once QNX is here.
A possible 9900 refresh (9980) before the QNX devices? Imagine a blacked out 9900 with some minor upgrades!

i have an upgrade for now and one next year July so maybe i'll get the Bold 9900 and see what comes out for July next year (if i'm still alive lol, saying that i might be dead before the 9900 comes out LOL)
I will definitely be getting the new Bold 9900/9930 regardless of the possibility of a "soon-to-be" QNX sequel or other "newer BB" phone. While I disagree with the rumors/theories that the new QNX will be all touch, just by some chance that it is, it makes the Bold 9900/9930 that much more appealing to me.
:eek: LOL :D
