- Yeah, the AT&T branded ones from the first pic. Quite a bargain, considering they have minimal wear and the batteries are still in very good shape. I do get 4G, but I don't really care about that aspect since I'll be using them exclusively on Wi-Fi.

The keys "p" and "m" took extra force to push.
( had to practically put the phone on a table top to push them !! )
Ended up ordering from a vendor in NY.

- My total cost for a white Blackberry brand keyboard complete with trackpad will be $13 Cdn. I'm confident it will fix the issue.experiment 626 likes this.07-04-16 04:46 PMLike 1

- Oh no. Hope you can get your beloved 9900 to where you want it! Admittedly I'm not good at fixing things. If it were me, I would just treat myself to a brand new 9900, in perhaps white as a change of pace. Good luck with everything!anon(9721108) likes this.07-05-16 07:51 AMLike 1
- Dislodged 3 keys on mine, once. (Face down on gravel seems most damaging to these things. Lol.) Amazingly, missing keys still functioned by poking thru hole with ball point pen. Agonizingly cumbersome but got by till break time. New keyboard over breaktime. New screen came later that night. "Battle scars" on frame still there. Lol.
Coworker just experienced similar (face down on gravel) tragedy a few days ago. "T" was loose & deformed but still functioning. TP was cracked corner to corner but still functioning. Screen was spiderweb cracked with missing pieces but still working. Amazing resilience to external damage but equally amazing vulnerability to simple KB swap, it seems. That's just life all over again... Lol.07-05-16 09:31 AMLike 0 - Dislodged 3 keys on mine, once. (Face down on gravel seems most damaging to these things. Lol.)

I'm starting to worry that some of the "cheap" KB we're seeing these days might be production rejects! Or something? The really good ones might be getting rare? Idk. Holding my breath on how your "new" kb works out. We've been downright wasteful with my company's stash of KB. Might live to regret that wastefulness some day.07-05-16 11:39 AMLike 0 -
- Lol. Too easy to swap KB (so I thought...). I had coworker's KB and screen swapped and booted in about 20 minutes. Try THAT with a Classic! ... Lol.

There seems to be no shortage of authentically Blackberry KB's on eBay but I hope I don't regret ordering a white one. Black does look amazing BUT despite the white being cheaper, the other reason is for "visibility." When I have company and we watch movies the lights are always dim or completely off......I cannot tell you how many times I put the phone on the table and then reach for coffee and then put the coffee right on the device! I NEVER had this issue with the all white 9780. So I do hope it worksAvenzuno likes this.07-05-16 05:26 PMLike 1 - Lols Steve you are more worried about my 9900 keyboard than I am . I am sure that if it is an original NEW Blackberry brand KB then it will be ok.

I've always figured paint wear might be less intrusive on a white kb? Idk. My company has hundreds of black ones so I'll probably never get to try a white one. Lol.07-05-16 06:36 PMLike 0 - Lol. 9900s probably don't make very good coasters. Used to be an app that kept lighting dimly active while plugged in charging... Might still be there??

Still love the Passport but nothing beats the form factor of the 9900 and how well it helps get rid of all the app noise. Though sadly I fear my time with the 9900 is coming to an abrupt end due to the message I got today when logging into my companies Office 365 Admin Portal.

BlackBerry will discontinue the BlackBerry Business Cloud Service in August 2016.
How does this affect me?
After August 2016, legacy BlackBerry devices (those which do not support the Exchange ActiveSync protocol) will cease to work with Office 365.
New tenant subscriptions for BlackBerry Business Cloud Service are no longer being accepted due to the pending termination of the service.
Tenants currently subscribed to BlackBerry Business Cloud Service are still able to add new users to the service, for that tenant.
Any ideas how to still get my work emails/calendar/contacts on the 9900? If not, it's back to either the Passport or Classic. Maybe even looking for a Q10 since it's smaller. What a let down after a few good months of the 9900 again...07-06-16 02:22 PMLike 0 - So I've been digging my old 9900 for many months now since moving back from my Passport.

I finally got the extended gold battery for the 9900, i haven't opened it or tried it out yet because it says that it needs a full 12 hours of charging before its first use and i want to do this right so i will charge it in the phone tonight. I will know tomorrow if it's good or not, i'm hopeful that it will last longer than the original battery but if it's the same as the original then i just have a spare battery which is perfect if i'm traveling.

You can still use the documents to go app in the 9900 and then just email the document, download it on your computer and open it in the Office 365 like normal. Hope this helps.

Sadly though...T-Mobile has eliminated BIS plans I believe. I might be wrong but I think that's what the rep told me when I started using the 9900 again.
I noticed the BB logo wasn't showing up on the screen next to the network anymore, called to ask, and thats what I was told.07-07-16 03:48 PMLike 0 - Sadly though...T-Mobile has eliminated BIS plans I believe.
