Wait... all this for a new blackberry? pal save your money on buying the 9780 and get the 99xx (bold touch) when it drops. im sure it will be the same price the 9780 or whatever bsmobile has.

[brams112]

if you got a post paid account just buy a unlocked fone and put in sim card ,tstt feel only them have brains,plus they like to rip off people,,,,,,,

[biggy82]

like tonight: loaded up NBA.com mobile to get play-by-play on the Bulls-Heat game. had the site on auto refresh, so the screen stayed on all the time. 2.5 hrs later, 5% drop in battery power. might have been closer to 10% if i was still running .526

better battery usage

[dan80]

oh next question- bmobile or digicell bb plan

to me both ah them is the same piece of sh_t, BUT if u want to keep yuhself sane dont go for the internet, because we still using EDGE here in the sweet banana republic.

[jsm1985]

EDGE is fine for BBM/Whatsapp/email but too slow for web browsing unless it's a mobile site.

Also data service is unusable if you go to any high traffic areas where it the network becomes overloaded and the data connection stalls.

e.g. POS anytime during the week, maracas beach on a Sunday (first hand experience today), malls on a weekend, etc...

I think ill just do that once d money comes. ^^


And M_2NR
Im not one of those ppl who need to have d latest phone all d time. And reason why im buyin one is cuz i hate the pearl 2 keyboard and wanna get back a full qwerty and i like the bold.

[M_2NR]

Add UWI to that list

Go to Mayaro and use it, you will be shocked at how it works. I personally use Opera Mini. This helps a lot with web browsing.

The best way to go is if your Company has a CUG jump in it! You get lots of benefits for a nice price.

nothing to do with having the latest phone all the time, the 9900 is going to be the best phone ever released. after that you eh need a nex phone for 5 years.

i don't think bmobile has the 9780, digicel has it, they got it about a month or two after they advertised that they had it.

[M_2NR]

well we making him switch to the bigger (sponge off tstt but still) better network dan

ent. For a blackberry bold, i doubt anything will change anytime soon

[Adrian howell]

Has anyone installed/ upgraded their bb9300 to os6 as yet? I had installed it but was getting issues with the leaked version I installed so i reverted to the os 5 . Heard there is an official link from Digicel on Triniberry....anyone running it without problems ?

[S_2NR]

went to tstt..all they had was a shitty curve.. and was bussin price!

got a brand new 9780 from a tuner for a bess price...

[tr1ad]

how it running... compared to the torch

[S_2NR]

compared to the torch..its similiar in performance.. slightly snappier tho..

[tr1ad]

hmmm, i saw you were selling a torch, the missus wants one, might just consider givin her mines instead and getting one of these....
will do some more research

[S_2NR]

the torch is my uncle own ...i jus linkin a sale and gettin a small commission..

main reason i dont like the torch is SIZE! that thing is HUGE.

the 9780 is easily pocketable and performs beautifully, cant go wrong.

but if u goin from a torch to d bold..u might miss d bigger screen.

The torch isnt bigger than a traditional blackberry.

[tr1ad]

well the size of the phone isn't an issue, coming from the older blackberries 7100 t 8800 etc
been using bb for almost 6 years now, with short jabs at iphone android etc

[S_2NR]

aite boss..like yuself..not me n da remote phone!

[tr1ad]

but as stephon said... it is smaller compared to the other blackberry's form factor
heavier yes, but not bigger

[S_2NR]

you do have a point but to each his own..

patiently awaiting the unlock code for the 9780..it locked to digi..ppl stickin to email me that

[bushwakka]

^^i installed os6 on my 9300 las nght.....wat is this abt leaked version an ting? jus download the blackberry desktop software from RIM website, install on ur computer, connect ur BB and let it update using the blackberry software.....thats what i did, no problems other than me having to get used to the new OS

[tr1ad]

leaked versions are newer OS' that haven't been issued to the global networks as yet such as Vodaphone etc

[casper]

stuck inna dilemma between a bold 3 or a torch...help please...dunno which to get

[Stephon.]

What's the bold 3?

[Stephon.]

If you meant the 9780 (bold) vs the 9800 (torch) it comes down to if you want the slider or not, same specs.

[S_2NR]

If u like a touch screen and big screen go for torch.. Has that and a physical keyboard.. Many ways to operate this phone.

[tr1ad]

its either way, same specs slightly heavier, but not by much, but a bigger screen

[S_2NR]

casper...here is a thorough comparison of both:
