- For me, PDFs are one file type for which I need a bigger screen. My eyes no longer do small text, and text size is actually one of the reasons why I like the 9900 over the Q10. I used my tech allowance at work this Spring to get a Surface 3. It's thin and light, fanless, and runs cool. I don't notice it in my backpack, and annotating PDFs with that pen has gotten me to a near paperless state.
Haven't used pen pointing since my HP iPaq days but certainly see possibilities. Especially for annotations. For trackpad navigation, wonder if MobiMouse or Vectir or ? might work with Surface 3 and 99's trackpad??10-01-16 03:37 PMLike 0 -

mTalk is a Windows 10 app. The Tapatalk app for my tablet stopped working, so I searched for an update, and it looks like it's been pulled from the store. So I searched the store and found mTalk. It appears to access the Tapatalk plugins on the forum, but it doesn't have all the same features (yet). For, example, you can view recent posts, or look through the various forums, but there's no 'participated' or 'subscribed' options.

- my iphone has become my "back up" device, even after I had a new battery put into it recently.
I'm finding ios 10.0.2 a bit laggy on the 5C. No crashing yet on it but my ipad Air is occasionally crashing on the latest, so I will continue to enjoy this amazing 9900 keyboard until they stabalize ios 10.
.......and after all that I will be continuing to use the 9900....

GMX calendar and contact services however are not a patch on Googles and I must admit that recently I've started to use Gmail to collect my GMX (and other mail eg iCloud) simply because the calendar and contact services offered by Google play much better with my 9900 and Q10.idssteve and anon(8063781) like this.10-02-16 04:21 AMLike 2 - 10-02-16 05:04 AMLike 0
- Yep, he walked straight to it first off. Last I heard, just a couple yrs ago it seems, Jim Balsillie was still using 9900, afaik. ?? And why not? We all know there's plenty to love about the single most successful BB of all time. What other BB model enjoyed production runs THREE years after intro? RIM/BBRY hasn't turned a profit since 9900, afaik. Yet, every "new" thing they throw out seems designed to get as far as they can get from that most successful product... Go figure.
Posted from my Passport SE via CB1010-02-16 08:40 AMLike 0 - I have the Q10, and it's been one of the most reliable phones I have owned, and it gets a right beating!! Mind you still thinking of getting a classic if this ever packs up, I like the smaller design than the passport, it fits so neatly in my shirt pocket and doesn't feel like I have a lead weight in it
Posted via CB1010-02-16 08:57 AMLike 0 - I left negative feedback, which I don't like to do, but other buyers should be made aware. I also talked to customer service and they're looking into it.

Great, thanks for the reminder, I don't really NEED to remember that I will miss this app thanks.
I did get some peeps to get BBM installed so all will not be lost. I also have a Whatsapp group but I think you can have group chats also in Facebook Messenger, if I am not mistaken????? Anyone?

Most people don't care about hardware because most people only know a black slab. I would argue people caring about hardware is what brought about the Classic -- people really wanted the trackpad! Also, the Passport is relatively popular, and largely because of the very innovative kb (and I can tell you as someone who travels a lot, it's a real attention-getter).
BTW: I'm watching "Morning Joe" right now, and Harold Ford has his mobile out on the desk beside him... a BlackBerry Bold.

There would be no need for flagship phones if they didn't. Why buy that fast, shiny glass and chrome S7 with the amazing camera when you can have a pedestrian, plasticky Moto E?
In fact, if we go back a few years, among the key selling points of the original iPhone was the capacitive screen that made that all-touch interface possible. No one else had that screen, and if you've used a resistive touchscreen, you know why it was such an advance. Software was also a part of the equation (especially iTunes, Safari, and pinch to zoom), but the iPhone software lacked many functions that were typical on other platforms -- like the ability to cut and paste or to install apps.
People still want great hardware. Chen said what he said because they don't want BlackBerry hardware, and he's moving solely into the software business.

The good news is that the 9900 is easy to unlock, and you can usually get it unlocked within a few hours for $1 on eBay.
Search for something like "Bold 9900 unlock code T-Mobile". Choose a seller with over 99% positive feedback and a low price. It should be about $1 US. Don't pay more than $2.
Read the listing carefully to ensure that they can unlock a T-Mobile phone. Some can't. If they cannot, they'll say. Others can unlock a phone on any network.
Follow the instructions in the listing. Provide the seller with all of the requested information in the note to seller box when you're paying. If you somehow miss this step, you can probably fix it by sending the seller a message afterward, but that will slow things down.
They'll send you the code through the eBay messaging system. I think I've unlocked about a dozen phones this way over the years.Ursus Rufus likes this.10-03-16 10:18 AMLike 1 -
- Storm 2! That's a rarity these days. Contrary to popular belief, it's a great phone, although SurePress does make your thumbs tired after a while.Ursus Rufus likes this.10-03-16 06:38 PMLike 1
