Don't do it to yourself. You'll be taking a step back in time.

What company are you with, i have an old Curve 8330 and Storm on OS5.0 for VZW i'm willing to let go cheap...both better alternatives to the 8830.

I have one of those laying around too, used to be my old work phone due to camera restrictions in gov. facilities.

[megatron187em]

been on my 9700 since the new year began

switched from the iphone 3g



i love this phone (most impressed that it plays xvid avi movies and has amazing battery life)

but the browser sucks and the twitter apps are garbage (at least in comparison with the iphone)



i already have facebook, opera and ubertwitter any other apps you guys recommend(not twitter apps)?

try Bolt Browser, SportsMobile if you're a sports head

AP news, Pandora, Google Maps, Sportsmobile, Viigo, Goal.com, Poynt, are the free apps that I use. The only one I paid for was MeterBerry and mainly because I wanted to see what was draining my battery and how the phone was running.

Opera Mini 5 beta 2 has been my favorite browser, but a lot of people say they like Bolt.

 

[quik1987]

ScoreMobile is better

 

[big j 33]

Yeah I don't know why I said Sportsmobile... I meant to say SCOREmobile

I like the concept but that looks like they just tore apart a storm and glued it to a 9700

 

[quik1987]

A landscape slider would have been better IMO

 

[da r entertainment]

EVERYTHING about a Blackberry Slide is just wrong

 

[fear the ibis]

What's the point of a screen that big if it's not touch?

And why would you have a trackpad and a touchscreen?



I think that's just a sample though and it's not actually getting released thankfully.

 

[e5antos]

Bb post test.

 

[Original Playa Records]

Reminds me of one of the first PPC's that Sprint used to carry .

I just ordered another 9700 though. SMH. Back to BB.

You got a BB now?

 

[blackmagnus514]

BB slide looks mad weak.

 

[viiheaven]

Slide joint looks terrible. But RIM is still going after a big audience. Slider phones are big in the JHS-HS demographic.
