Has anyone had problems with the silver pieces between the keyboard letters? They are breaking and catching on my fingers when I text?? Its only one week old, is this just my phone or are others having the same problem? Thanks

Can someone that probably had both the 9700 and 8520 tell me which would be a better phone to buy. I have heard and also read of people saying that the quality of the 9700 is very poor pertaining to the trackpad and the keypad ...can someone give me advice i really need to know whats best before I buy. Thank you in advance

I own this phone, and it's an amazing device, really is. (Only downfall is that the default browser is pretty decent as far as they go, but the BIS proxy service is slow. So I can download a song at 70+ kilobytes a second on T-Mobile USA 3G, but a 70 kilobyte web page may take 5 seconds to download and another 5 to load. I use BOLT cause Opera Mini for Blackberry sucks ass.)

I don't believe this phone has 256 MB for RAM. As far as I know, most if not all blackberries have shared memory. This phone has 256MB shared memory.

This phone is absolutely brilliant, Ive always had Sony Ericssons, Samsungs, Nokia's but this is my first BlackBerry. It has shocked me with all the features, the instant web browsing, the easy accessible emails, the weight of it doesnt weigh much, the camera quality considering its only a 3.2, the media player and the telecoil for the deaf.

I have took it out on Virgin Media for £30 a month x 24 months 600 mins & unlimited texts & internet.

I will never change phones again, this is the best phone ever and I simply cannot fault it. It is easy, accessable and solid.

you know, BB2 9700, is a good handset. its nice for the email, for connection - (msn, yahoo, twitter, bbm)... however, when i updated it to the latest version, i started to be disappointed on it.
i have no problem with the music player, but with the video player, some of the videos that i used to play before on the previous version is playing very well, now numerous of the videos when i tried playing it or sometimes in the middle suddenly a message in the screen will appear like this, "An error has occured attempting to play media." further more when i tried playing it one more time, "Device media processor is busy."

overall its very nice phone, but of of course sometimes i don't feel like bringing my ipod or camera in one time. so i used the camera, music and video player of my phone and now its failing me.

Hi guys,
Two questions:
1)I am keen on the BB9700, but have just noticed the Nokia E72. Which one do you think is better? They both have the same specs. I will be getting a free BIS contract if I take the BB.....

2)With the BIS contract can I download anything(ie:music) or just surf?
