whats the 9780? just the new OS? any better?


Upgraded from a 8900 (dont laugh) to the 9780 this Saturday.

Dope %*% phone...I'm still getting used to it but this is the best phone I coulda gotten. OS 6 runs very smooth and the 3G on mine is pretty reliable.

Loaded a ton of apps including ScoreMobile, Socialscope, Bolt Browser, Tumblr, Twitvid, CameraMuteApp (google), Capture It and some others.

It was cool at first, but I didn't use apps and +%#! as much as I thought.

Text messaging, e-mail, and  battery life were all that I really cared about.  So I'm back on the Bold and it does what I need it to do.

I've been considering running two phones but it seems so obnoxious

. The only reason I want something aside from a BB is the web browsing capabilities, except I honestly don't use the web enough to justify switching to an iPhone/etc. My day is spent emailing and I prefer and feel the need for the keyboard.

Man this looks SO boss... I gotta see how it runs...this will be the only thing keeping me on BB...

Bold 9700 (left) vs. the new BlackBerry Bold Touch (right)

Gotta love it when a plan comes together! Following up on the 2011 BlackBerry Smartphone Roadmap leaks of January, we're starting to see these devices take shape for REALZ in February. We saw the monaco/Storm 3 show up on video yesterday, and now today we're looking at live photos of the BlackBerry Bold Touch, which currently goes by the codenamedakota. As you can tell, the newest Bold (pictured above on the right) looks more like the original Bold 9000 from the front than the smaller Bold 9700/9780 we're currently used to. I can't wait to pound out emails and BBMs on the Bold Touch's keyboard... that is the Cadillac of smartphone keyboards right there. As for what the Bold Touch is packing inside, here's the specs as they have been rumored to date:

• Dimensions: 115 x 66 x 10.5mm
• Radio: Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE; Tri Band UMTS
• Display: 2.8" diagonol - VGA 640 x 480, resolution 287dpi
• Camera: 5mp - Flash - Image Stabilization - HD Recording (720p)
• Navigation: Capacitive Touch, Optical Trackpad
• Keypad: Wide QWERTY - Physical Send, End, Escape, Menu, Right Side Convenience Key, Volume Control
• Memory: 8GB - 768MB RAM - up to 32GB MicroSd Card
• WiFi: 2.4 GHZ b/g/n - 5GHz a/n - Mobile Hotspot
• Connectivity: Micro USB - Bluetooth - NFC
• Sensors: Magnetometer - Accelerometer - Proximity

Lots more photos after the break, so check them out! You don't want to miss the one where you see that the trim around the Bold Touch's keypad LIGHTS UP!!! Who's waiting on this one?? I know I am!

When is the Bold Touch coming out?

 

[blackmagnus514]

They need to hurry up and make Words With Friends for Blackberry. I'm itching for it.

I can't wait till the Playbook comes out in April. Joint looks

As far as browser, I use the default, Opeera and Bolt. The Scrolling on Opera is kinda !!$ though.

 

[cronicmolemolereturns]

If anyone has a recent Blackberry for sale unlocked..willing to ship overseas to a trusted member hit me up.

 

[bangdak]

That bold touch looks like the size of the original bold. DAYYYYUM

 

[kiiidthrash]

[rapsteady1]

HELP!

I have an unlocked verizon blackberry tour (9630)...

and when I put a T-MO sim card, it says, "your current SIM card requires an unlock code. Would you like to unlock it?" and it gives me an option of "Yes" and "No."

I called T-MO and they gave me the passcode... It's just every time I choose "Yes" it does nothing and sends me to the home screen.

I've already called T-MO and Verizon for help... but have gotten nothing in response.. Virtually nothing.

Can anyone help me out, or even point me to the right direction..

Thanks...

Anyone checking for the Playbook? Been watching some videos online and I think I might prefer it to the iPad 2.

 

[pdxkickz2009]

i had a bb storm 2 got over and got the iphone 4

 

[stick]

Is there any way to allow YouTube videos to fully load before they start playing? Even on WiFi and 3G I get choppy video/sound playback. I'm on a 9780 for T-Mobile.
