I had a Playbook... damn charging port broke the same damn day 2.0 dropped so i never got a chance to check it out... but i loved how the UI worked... so smooth, but there were far to many shortcomings about the OS...  the web browsing, screen, and speed were tremendous though... pretty much if it had a full Android App market it would be my favorite tab, but its just not supported... the hardware specs are fairly great too... damn shame...

my blackberry 9780 gave me the white screen, tried reinstalling a new os. Didn't fix it.
I'm assuming is something to do with the hardware now, should i just get the lcd replaced, or just try and grab a new 9790 or 9900 for cheap. (with rogers in canada)
I can still use my 9000 but the trackball is kinda messed up going right and up.
any advice?

You can get a new in box refurb Playbook on bestbuy.com for 130 with free shipping. Cowboom is hit or miss, since they sell used/returned merchandise and the grading of the condition is subjective.

I wish the Army would go away from Blackberry's though. They always mess up and I have to reprogram them. BB has survived forever off the misguided perception, that they are great business phones and do something iPhones or Android's don't.

got a 9650 a week ago i really like how the bb os is simple and does everything i want except the browser is kinda slow and the 9650 is kinda laggy

trying to find a 9930 on CL

played with the playbook at bestbuy and i didnt like the os at all.

 

[Original Playa Records]

Strongly considering grabbing a 9900, going to do some research NT.

 

[adrian1221]

I got my 4g 9900 the day it dropped. Functions just like new except with a better battery life

Battery life is still incredible. Gave RIM one last shot and they came through. Seems like ill keep them a little longer i suppose.

 

[Original Playa Records]

Still might give RIM a shot with the 9900.

I know us Blackberry users are a dying breed, but Blackberry 10 is almost here. January 30th will be the event launch, so we're looking at February or March for the release.

Mad tumbleweeds in this thread lol

Been anticipating getting the new qwerty joint when it drops in February but i think i'll get the N4 for now and then sell it to get the BB10 if i like it more.

 

[israel3]

Was just about to post some info on the touchscreen devices, theyll be out in march.

Seemes to run real smooth.

i copd the BB 9350 it freezes sometimes but my main problem is the music will stop playing  at random times and then i have to reset the phone every time this happends about 6 times a day and also when im making and recieving calls i cant hear anything or get a dial tone

other than that its a cool phone.

 

[iswearimcool]

so bbm has wifi calling now. a little too late for that

I'll be selling my iPhone 5 when the BB London drops.  [Bart Scott] Can't Wait! [/Bart Scott]...

I'm currently looking for a new BOld 9900 for ATT

keep checking craigslist. I got a brand new one last week on there for $200

 

[n3rd]

I just sold a "new" 9900 on craigslist last week, for 300. It was a refurb I'd just got from T-Mobile/Assurion. But it was new to him! He was happy, and so am I.

Nexus 4 here we go...

 

[degenerate423]

Not gonna lie, the iPhone looks a little outdated compared to the L-Series.  Still, the iPhone's display is better and I prefer the bottom charging port...

 

[tee eye ehm]

Actually the BB10's display will be better too. I believe 1280x768.

 

[teamjordan79]

yea i just hope that it wont be outdated come February at the rate smart phones are evolving.

I must've missed that.  I remember reading that it wasn't as nice as the iPhone's display, but that could've been speculation.  Either way, another win for BB

.

EDIT:

Actually, I read that the colors were more natural on the iPhone's screen, that's why it was better.  I'd have to see it person to judge though...

 

[n3rd]

So they gave up the keyboard for BB10?

 

[tee eye ehm]

So they gave up the keyboard for BB10?

The first release is the all touch version, followed by the qwerty version a few weeks later.

I'm digging the hardware. The bottom part looks nice, as does the side profile and and buttons
