I was swayed by all the promise of bb10 and while it's efficient and nice, while using a classic now I can't help missing how EASY my bold was. I will consider hard now why I will ever need something new when I'm happy with what I have.

However, I don't really feel like I'm missing much on my 9900, I actually quite enjoy the device and it is highly productive. Being able to flick around and navigate with the trackpad is amazing. I do not evenuse the touchscreen. I do find myself wishing they would release a refreshed 9900, just needs a better camera, browser and battery. Keep the OS7!06-12-16 11:53 PMLike 0 - This is definately true for security updates, as there will be what....2 more?
But regarding app functionality I'm wondering if this still is true. We are seeing a lot of people on BB10 experiencing apps failing. Is there a known reason for this? Could it be that the 0S7 apps were around so long now that it doesn't matter?
I would love to entertain theories on this because it defies logic in the cellular world.
ie. the newer OS should work more reliably, in theory

I appreciate the thoughts on color. I'm now leaning on a white 9900, but I am confused about its possibly several GSM variants. Here's what I want: an unlocked 9900 that has all the bands for HSPA/3.5G/Faux G, that I would use first on AT&T, but can easily use when I next travel overseas. (My unlocked 100-4 Classic saved the day when I was in the Orient last month!). Anyone know if the 9900 has sub-model numbers like the BB10 devices have, so that I can know specifically what to look for?06-13-16 06:20 AMLike 0 - [QUOTE=experiment 626;12468848]

- +1000 for dual (even triple) carry! No single device can ever be best at everything for everyone. 9900's compact form and user friendliness makes it an ideal partner for dual carry! Efficient things happen when 9900 is partnered with capable devices that help fill the gap!
I carried my 99 as a backup for my Classic for about a month. Wasn't long before deciding it was just too easy to leave burned down Classic charging in the desk for the night, swap batts in 9900 and head for the bus, after a hard day.
99 just kept sneaking its way back into voice, text, email, bbm service. Each step of the way I kept evaluating. Why wrestle with a Cumbersome Classic, when I can get calls, texts, emails, bbm, calendar, contacts, spreadsheets, etc, etc, just as well on my 99 and feel less fatigued by day's end?
Why not use compact & easy 9900 for the 90% of things it's best at and fill in gaps by using Classic, Passport , Z30 as needed for what THEY are best at?? Best of both worlds! Win win! If you don't mind dual carry. I have two hips capable of packing two holsters.06-13-16 10:15 AMLike 0 - +1000 for dual (even triple) carry!

Depending on expected needs for the day. 99 is always with me. Usually my Classic backing that up but sometimes Passport for easy pdf print viewing in the field. Rarely my Z30.sgtpepr likes this.06-13-16 10:41 AMLike 1

When people keep saying "PRODUCTIVITY" are you ONLY referring to work related issues, jobs, tasks or can it mean for overall efficiency of how the device works, performs, functions?
Many of us don't always use these devices, namely the 9900, for work other than perhaps emails.
Personally I am not hindered by the 9900 because I simply use it as a general "all around" device.
It also might not be fair to criticize any device if it is years old and expecting it to do everything an iPhone 6S can.06-13-16 12:04 PMLike 0
