- I've been playing with this 9930 for a the past couple of hours and I'm left flabbergasted of any negative reviews of this thing.
This is the BEST BB I've ever held, PERIOD!
This sucker is like a iPhone and BB merged and it works great. I'm absolutely amazed. This is also the lightest and thinest device I've EVER held I might add..Yes folks, it's that lite and slim.
It even boots up fast, the touchscreen combined with the keyboard, flat out rocks. I use them in unisome. Teh HD is awesome and the pics are fine, but agree, it would be nice to have my image stablization on...Just like with a regular camera in low light, you need to use the flash, but outdoors, etc it's fine. A minor issue at best...Did I mention the HD video?
I've got a few of my most used apps already on - BerryWeather, Verizon Navigator, etc and so far, all is good. The phone booted up fast, I imported my information, slide in my media card and was up and running in minutes, literally. Wow!
I even hooked up to my home WiFi (awesome feature) and the pinching and zoom features are really, really cool and functional.
In all, this device has exceeded my expectations and is really effective with some nice "cool" functions that I wouldn't have ever expected on a BB device.
Good stuff RIMM - Thanks for getting these out there before the September rush. Now just kick in your marketing efforts and you may be on to something - both young and old, professional or otherwise.
I'm giving it a solid 9.5 and I really liked my 9630 which now feels like a brick.Last edited by Bold9930; 08-16-11 at 10:09 PM.

- 9780 is better on battery. From 7:00am till 11:00pm...it was down to 30%. I am a light to moderate user. It drains fast the first few hours then it slows down, thought I will be out by 7pm. Hope this helps... some people update their os to 296 and mentioned it is better. Mine is 261.08-16-11 10:40 PMLike 0

My battery seems to be doing fine. I was using it a bunch this afternoon and it went down to around 60%, but it wasn't fully charged...Seems ok for the most from what I can gather.08-16-11 10:47 PMLike 0 - I've been playing with this 9930 for a the past couple of hours and I'm left flabbergasted of any negative reviews of this thing.

This phone is pretty cool! No regrets.08-20-11 11:57 AMLike 0 - Quite honestly, they will continue to do well with their devices, but it's outside of this realm where there's plenty of opportunity coming with QNX and other integrations that you can get excited about. I don't think many realize this important fact.08-20-11 04:52 PMLike 0
- I dont really want qnx, pretty happy with os7, im afraid if rim use qnx in next gen of bold, they have to use faster processor and bigger power, but gonna stay thin like 9900... That means less usage in one day.08-27-11 07:29 PMLike 0
- I kinda feel the same way...I felt QNX was the way to go and may still be, but for now OS 7 is pretty darn impressive, paired with the new Bold touchscreens.08-27-11 10:43 PMLike 0

- I got the Bold for the ACE keyboard. If a QNX phone comes out in slab form I won't be interested. I would have gotten an iPhone if I wanted that. And besides, my PlayBook runs QNX so I'm not sure how much it would add.
Speaking of which, would be awesome if it were possible to use the Bold as a BT keyboard when paired with the PlayBook08-27-11 10:49 PMLike 0 - I got the Bold for the ACE keyboard.

At first the icon was there but then when I clicked on it it gave me some other weather forcast and it's stuck on that same day's weather temp. I bought berry weather when it was half off the other day.08-28-11 12:39 PMLike 0

It works well and you can see many wallpapers with it on in the thread "show us your wallpapers" I believe it's called.
Good luck.08-28-11 02:22 PMLike 0 -
