- Yeah to keep using whatsapp till June 2017, we will have to update the app in our devices. There's an update that has hit the BlackBerry world. If we do not update it, the app will stop working as said. I.e Dec 31st, 2016

Has anyone in here tried to update it yet????

Sidenote: It was actually a good thing I was still using my iphone because the other day I spilled coffee with cream and sugar app over my iphone! If it had been my 9900 I am willing to bet the new keyboard keys would be sticky and causing some issues!
This is ONE situation where I will say GLASS SLABS are superior!!!!!!!

I am not sure what it means though. Whether it refers to BIS or any other thing for that matter. :-D.
And yeah, I too love glass slabs to be used for spilling all sorts of beverages . No wonder why almost everyone in starbucks use glass slabs :-p

weird.

Ok, that is definately something on the "to do" list then!!!!!

I'm thinking that since I have Whatsapp already on my 9900, they shouldn't have it where you have to go to App World to update. Maybe it will just offer the update on the app, but we will find out soon.
If anyone in here sees that the update for Whatsapp is on their 9900 post it here and that is when the sim is out of my iphone!

But who knows.

https://www.whatsapp.com/ota/
( click the BlackBerry World link)
For BBOS you can download directly, however it still hasn't been updated to the prolonged version.

But summarize - when I see how the IM communicators grows I see that it is being so fat and fat! And more hard to use11-15-16 06:47 AMLike 0 - I don't use any more Whatsapp but after swapping from one Bold 9900 to another Bold 9900 I have information that I can not anymor use whatsApp on this device.

That coffee was HOT and that call was priority! Lol. My contortions & facial expressions while maintaining "normalcy" during the call with HOT coffee all over the Z10, down my front & on floor was obviously humorously comical for coworkers to watch! It still gets brought up when we need a laugh! Haha... They've since presented me with a really nice mug... Lol.
That tie did its job keeping coffee out of shirt buttons and is still my "lucky tie". Lol.
No doubt, 9900 would've suffered worse but having to involve finger from other hand simply wouldn't have been an issue using thumb on 99's toolbelt "call" hard key.
I've since kept a desk handy for setting coffee mug down on while using two handed devices. Lol.11-15-16 10:29 AMLike 0 - LOL, this is the link BlackBerry intends to support legacy BBOS devices indefinitely | CrackBerry.com

OS7 has already reached EOL.
Optimistically, BB 10.3 is not even on the list as being indeterminate although 10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 are already ended.
Maybe by "indefinite" they mean they will keep the BIS support up and running...11-15-16 11:42 PMLike 0 - I hope its not just a BB10 update because OS7 phones can work as fast as some of the BB10 phones, there's not much difference between the 9900 and Q10, and i used the Q10 for 3 years. I also feel that there doesn't need to be huge updates for the OS7, they should just allow us to use the app with the features it has now, i don't usually have a problem with the app and i'd love to keep using it indefinitely.

The 9900 is very fast for those of us on H+ speeds, many vids prove it11-16-16 12:45 AMLike 0 - Haha... BTDT! Lol. Including sugar & creamer! Crushed a foam cup, thoroughly drenching my poor Z10. Usb, hdmi, battery contacts, screen itself and who knows what else inside got shorted & wrecked during the half hour call I'd crushed the cup while answering. It was the most important call of the year and I'd tried to answer several times, using my old calloused thumb, single hand style. Hurriedly involving finger from the other hand while holding the foam cup led to crushing it.

Stopped at AT&T to pick up a Standard size SIM as well. Excited to get this Thursday and fire it up. Now to figure out how to sync contacts and photos over. Contacts at the very least. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...11a7271ebb.jpg11-16-16 12:48 AMLike 0

I must say that my coffee wrecked Z10 had no keyboard and did keep running long enough to complete the 30 minute call. It might have been possible to revive it but I was SO sick of the thing, at that point. Good excuse to "upgrade" to Q. Talk about jumping from the pan into the fire! Lol. With that early OS version, at least.
Personally, given the relative cost of replacement, I'd probably risk a 99 on tub side rather than my PassPort, for example. Too bad BB never made a ruggedized model that I could take into the shower. Typically have at least a couple messages waiting after stepping out of the shower. Lol.Last edited by idssteve; 11-16-16 at 01:54 AM.
11-16-16 01:44 AMLike 0 - Haha... Very few handsets of any type will tolerate a full dunking "bath". Lol. Pure water might pose somewhat less grief than soap (or coffee lol) residue. I've wetted 99 keyboards quite a few times with no perceivable issues. Like using in the rain, for example.
