- I'm kind of scared to get this because the faux chrome plastic trim is peeling off severely on my 9650, will this be a problem on the new bold?07-29-11 12:34 AMLike 0

- Buy a snap on hard plastic case if you want. It will help you get more life out of it... Me? I'm probably gonna get an otter box and pass the phone down to my family as a treasured heirloom lol07-29-11 08:36 AMLike 0
- Oh come on. I like BB's as much as the next guy, but you can't honestly say it's not like any other BB. It says BB, it's made by RIM, and has the same basic keyboard, trackpad, action buttons (Talk, BB Menu, Back, End), form factor, layout, etc as a dozen other Blackberries.
It is quite improved, I'm sure. I plan on using my fiance's upgrade to get one near launch. But it is still a lot like many other Blackberries.07-29-11 01:52 PMLike 0 - Oh come on.

Like I said, it looks like a great phone, and I'll probably end up with one soon after they are released.
But to make a statement like 'The 9900 is unlike ANY Blackberry you have seen in the past', especially with ANY in all caps, was simply a poor choice of words. Perhaps something like "this is the best Bold so far" or "a whole new generation in the Bold family" would be more appropriate.
In recent years, about the only BB that could be described as like nothing before was the Torch, and maybe the Style. We had seen no BB sliders, and no BB flips with full keyboard.
The point is, this is just another Bold. It'll be great, it'll be fast, and be touch screen. And I want one. But it is what it is; a Bold. And yes, we've seen Bolds before - many of them.07-30-11 04:42 PMLike 0 - sleepngbearRetired ModeratorI did not make a single judgement, only a visual comparison, which seems reasonable, since there are plenty of photos out.

But I think the OP's question in general is garbage ... aside from security and messaging, durability is probably the next of BB's strong points. Every one I've owned has been built like a brick, including the Torch. I see no reason to suspect the next flagship phone would be any different.anon(73368) likes this.07-30-11 05:38 PMLike 1

Will the durability of the Bold be garbage?
