and i am heading back if the battery life doesnt improve very fast .
I just updated to .210 about 5 hour ago. I will see how it goes for a few days, if I notice this issue, I am definitely going back to .185. So far .210 is very nice though.
and i am heading back if the battery life doesnt improve very fast .
I thought about returning my BOLD and just going back to my 8310 Curve, but I honestly don't know why I never returned my BOLD. Oh, I'm on my second BOLD.
just upgrade to .185 and the battery issues will be gone . i am running .210 and so far everything is good but the battery life is not as good as .185 .
but we will see after a couple days
I bought the 9900 because I wanted a Blackberry with a quicker processor. My 9900 is woefully slow and I thought that the 9900 would be a definite bump up.
That said, I am very disappointed. 8 hours after and my 9900 is dead. My almost fully-charged 9900 shut off and won't turn back on. Battery pulls don't work, and AC doesn't work. I even tried pressing the Escape button on the battery pull...about the only thing that might have brought it back.
A call to T-Mobile's RIM tech support didn't help. It's either the battery or a DOA unit.
What's so frustrating is that I spend hours switching the device info, plus my time going to the store and waiting. Of course the T-Mobile stores are sold out, so I have to wait longer. I'm pissed! Nice that a $600 device bricked on the very first day. Nice work Blackberry.
It really makes me wonder if I want the 9900. RIM did some nice work on the device, but also took several steps backwards. Yes, there is a faster processor and more memory. Then again, it doesn't have UMA and an Auto-Focus camera. I can't tell you how many macro shots I take for personal and business use, and the lack of Auto-Focus is huge.
And the omission of UMA is embarrassing. Why RIM and T-Mobile, why? UMA is a stellar feature...and something if advertised would bring countless new customers to T-Mobile. Who's doing their marketing and PR, Bozo?
And finally...I'm really beginning to question the touchscreen. Frankly, it gets in the way and is a true impediment when typing.
