    Yoh ppl what a turn down from reading your reviews, I'm not buying anymore thank God I didn't get the white one and had to wait for the next stock. I love BB phones but too much negative reviews meaning the phone is bad news.

      the 9900 is the worst handset i have ever used ,battery life is a joke if you use a phone for which it was intended, talking,I belive it had 3 hrs max of battery life.connectivity and software issues never stopped.I know of 10 people who have had the same issues in South africa,not sure what handsets your team were given???

        I did have the 9790 and I hated it; would constantly freeze, the lock button was too stiff and chipped off so I couldn't access my phone; eventually I dropped it in some pepsi and got the 9900 through my insurance; what an improvement! Build quality is so much better, sound quality, hasn't yet frozen or crashed on me.. I've had this phone over a month now and have no complaints; I use my phone constantly; text, call, email, music, bbm and my wifi is always on when at home, never once have I needed to charge it before going to bed at roughly 11, I'm up at 7.

              Not a great phone.
              Freezes during usage of apps.
              Has problem with promixity sensor, dials numbers, goes of mute, hold and what not..
              Not a great battery life.
              Overpriced.
              Most of the apps come with a price.
              Gps sucks..
              Overall not a great phone @ this price.

                              RIM's finest hour....
                              sadly no duel core even though its as expensive as a Note or Rezound and no 4G...please RIM!...get more competitive!

                              BB os 7...excellent, but no victory over windows and android.

                              BB need a come back...but what ?

                              their sales are down 75%!
                              ...they should introduce live wallpapers and speed up the release of BBX then launch it on duel core phones.

                              conclusion:
                              A huge waste of money...massive I tell you due to the fact you could get a phone with the same hardware for much cheaper...it lacks features nor has the ability to play hardcore gaming. but if you are a BB fan...then why not?

                              warning: I will be dead honest here...its hard for me to admit this but we must judge devices not because of name brands but rather features and hardware compared to price and price of other devices.

                              sigh...so here it goes.

                              considering what else you could get for the same price and cheaper not to mention better:

                              samsung GSII, note, S1, ACE, GY, GIO...im basically going to name the entire range of Galaxy devices...oh and the omnia 7

                              HTC rezound, sensation, titan, radar, trophy, desire, legend, hero, wild fire, G1, G2 Nexus 1 and every other HTC that has Android and windows 7.

                              LG: optimus pro, black, 2X, 3D

                              motorola: atrix and razor.

                              Nokia N8, N9

                              now for the positive things...finally!

                              Love BIS.
                              Bold 9900...my favorite of all BB's
                              Extremely responsive.
                              Better build quality than many devices I know.
                              Love the improvements to the OS.
                              its uncommon...i love that in a phone.
                              the UI looks great.

                              but never the less...well tried BB :)))

                              can't wait for BBX (10)

                                  I didn't bought this phone cause of the bad autonomy. I was amazed why they released sutch a grait tool but a SE Vivaz has more autonomy.

                                        snoops, 17 Oct 2011for your info, the standard case that comes with the BB9900 is not a power saving case with th... moreI don't think you had your proximity sensor turned on properly because my case worked fine and would switch phone off when it was entered into it.

                                        But the phone is a flop as a whole. an 8 year BB user I was gutted when I got this phone. Drop outs, freezes, crashes when browsing, touch screen crappy and not working sometimes and all within 3 days of ownership.

                                        Processor is a little faster but what is the use if it crashes so often? Likewise with the browser.

                                        Phone feels great in your hands and the larger size is a welcome addition from the 9780 but the trackpad is too close to the touch screen for people with big hands and you will be constantly fighting with the phone. After 3 days I returned the phone for a full refund....... I'm really sad actually as I can't bring myself to letting go of BB.
