Will you skip Blackberry if you find out that an Android can load BBM?

REVIEW: 3 Weeks with the 9900

A couple of weeks ago I took a trip to the Vodacom Store to get my Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 - Very happy and ready to purchase it, I handed over my R6999 cash. Getting home i ripped the plastic off the Box and put the phone together and plugged it in immediately. I began to play around with it and up to today I am reporting my usage on it.

Pros:

1) SUPER Fast

2) The blackberry "clock" almost non-existent 

3) Touch screen amazingly responsive and glides perfectly 

4) "solid" feeling

5) Lovely pictures and Video quality 

6) Spacious keyboard

Cons:

1) Media card can be pulled out - Battery has to be pulled THEN the media card

2) Unlock button very hard to push (especially with silicon cover on)

3) finger nails hook on your keyboard when  pulling out pocket 

4) Play button doesn't do well in between volume buttons 

5) No themes for the 9900 yet

6) Battery Life is very bad (3/4 Day - with 3G) and (1 and a half days - with 2G)

Personally, I believe it wasn't worth upgrading from my trusty Blackberry Torch 9800, But you know being the extreme "got to have" techy I am - i had to rush out and buy it and I am slightly regretting it!

Do you have the 9900 - What do you think about it?

Blackberry 9360 will also be available in White and Pink!

The BlackBerry 9360 will be available in 3 Colours so far Black, White and a surprising pink. More info to come on the release date in South Africa!

Be Ready for the Blackberry Bold 9900

Wow, What a beauty and isn't it about time? The Blackberry 9900 Smartphone was officially announced at the beginning of May 2011 and had definitely taken its Time to reach its release! The smartphone was rumored to been held back due to some problem with the phones hardware, It was recently released at the Beginning of August 2011 to the USA and UK, and here in South Africa it has been rumored by Vodacom that this technical masterpiece will be released in the first week of September!

Still rather disappointing as many South African Blackberry Fans have to wait a extra couple weeks to get the 9900 but by the looks of this beauty it is definitely worth it! with the 9900's new OS: 7.0 things have definitely been shaken up! and who could complain with a powerful 1.2 GHz processor, 8GB of internal storage not to mention an amazing 768MB RAM, all under the hood users have been told to say farewell to the spinning clock that many Berry user hate to see.

what more could a smartphone user ask for than the new slim feel and powerfulness of this phone, all looks well but with QNX around the corner is the consumers hard earned money well spent?
