i have the 9900 and its an awesome phone, ive been using it for 5 months, i didnt buy it we already had it so im using it. This phone is indestructable, dropped it 2 times and nothing happened, my bro used to use it he dropped it literally 50 times and the phone barely has any scratches. we've had this phone for 5 years since the day we took it out of the box. compared to every other phone on the market this is probably the most durable phone you can get. The blackberry is certainly not better than iphone and android but if you just want a phone that can call, text ( the keyboard is amazing), play music with next level speakers ( this phone has very loud speakers), take pictures ( however the picture quality isnt good), or even write notes, this phone is for you. this is the phone for you. Black berries are not meant for games, this phone is just designed for productivity.
Great detailed comment. How many times do you charge your bold 9900? im actually looking to buy this phone at this and age. I use blackberry phones for about 1hr a day calling and around 100 texts only.
Do you think it would be worth getting one of these as opposed to an iPod and just regular phone separately? I listen to a lot of music but I as far as data I wouldn't need much. The thing is I can't spend more than $25 a month... :$ I am guessing these would be out of the question.
I had the 9900 and I HAD to get rid of it because of the battery life, it lasted 12 hours max with low use. Is the 9790 battery any better?? I really like BlackBerry! Thanks.
Cual me recomendarias mas la 9900 o la 9790? Que tan cierto es que la 9900 salio mala y se quema, disculpa por escribir en español, gracias de antemano
"So we'll go to the back of each of these phones now which i didn't show you before er um erm I've saved it for you guys just so i can show you the back" Nice choice of words :P
I strongly prefer the BlackBerry Bold 9790 because for one, it is a mile cheaper and to think that they just have almost the same features! And the 9790 looks a lot more stylish, too :)
The back design of blackberry 9790 looks great as compared to 9900 However front view of blackberry 9900 is awesome but 9790 front view is also good .....i am in dillema which one i should choose though ...i already hav 9790 please suggest me i should buy 9900 or not..........
I currently have the Torch 9800, and thinking about switching, but Im not sure if I should go with the 9900, or the 9790... Any suggestions? Thank You.
Do you think this would be suitable for my 16 year old son?? he is very involved in modern technology and his emperorship in a pc business (he is involved in a lot of email and browsing) Thanks =)
what about the both BB battery longevity? I would like to move to BB only if I would have a better battery life. Well apart from the other features that only BB has. nice review very feature specifications btw.. cheers
I think rim did great on both phones. Iv tried both and im currently using the 9900 and its pretty awesome, its defiantly one of the best phones iv ever had. If your up for an upgrade or time for a new phone, you defiantly should consider the 9900. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Hi, I like the 9790 for its size...I'm thinking of getting it but first want to see if it's a good phone for someone who just wants to make and receive calls and occasionally check youtube,google, and facebook. thanks
@CodCats know a days we live in a generation where young kids got them iphone, Samsung galaxy and blackberries they don't know we use to not use cell phones and when we did they have no feature but only the phone was used for calls
trying to decide on a phone as I have now an I phone 5, but do not care for the keyboard. Trying to watch videos on all the BB and you did a great job of comparing the two. Thank you!
Can i ask which one has a better/longer battery life? startup quicker? Whats the latest OS please? My Nokia E5 last 2-3 days on standby and loads in under 30secs on startup. pls advice. Thanks.
what shall i get a new blackberry bold or an iphone 4 im not so bothered about the 4s im currently using the blackberry curve 9320!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please help me .x
They are completely different phones. I would say a better comparison would be iPhone 5 versus a BB10 device (either Z10 or Q10). I would say go for a BlackBerry for two reasons. 1) Better hardware in general, especially in their newer phones, and 2) I live in Waterloo, Ontario, so support my local business :p
Due to the auto-focus camera alone, I'm starting to consider I may prefer a 9790. The autofocus on my old curve 8900 is great, my wife has an 8520 without autofocus and it's nowhere near the quality. How about UMA support, or Mobile Hotspot support?
what would you recommend for me? im a techi person, i tweet a lot,i txt a lot, bbm posing a status on my facebook a lot...grrr hard to decide.. pls help me.. i like this bold 9790 but how about the battery life? HELP!!!
I'm buying a new blackberry tomorrow, PLEAAASE HEEELP! I don't knoe which of both should I buy! I don't care bout the money, but I really really do about the battery life! cuz I'm always using it n' I'm probably always out PLEASE HELP ME ASAP thaknks :*
which one should i get ?!! i know the battery on the 9790 is better but the smaller touch screen is an issue, i mean touch screens shouldn't be that small :/ if any of you guys have a 9900 please tell me how bad the battery is ??! i'm not a heavy user but i do use my phone as a music player and for BBM of course, so much can i go on without charging it ?
If your after performance, you should be in favor of the Bold 9900. Otherwise, if you're after the battery life and a more compact phone, you should go for the Bold 9790. I think the only downside of the 9790 is that the small touch screen is difficult to use. Both phones are amazing. I also think that they both work well. The main differences are on the physical properties. Hope this helps.
The playbook is a good tool plus it should be able to upgrade to BB10. I'd certainly consider looking at their new line up when it comes out next week.
I've had the 9900 for 2 weeks, my best buddy has the 9790. contrary to what ALOT of people say my battery life has been fine and I'm a teen using this thing alot, i can get through a day but ill need to charge it at night. it looks and feels really great and i like the bigger keyboard. from looking at my friends 9790 it's keyboard is also really nice, super soft. i didn't expect it to be as great as i discovered it to be. Both great devices, 9900 is obvs flashier, choice depends on ur wallet
