I'm looking for the advice of someone who has owned this phone for about a year or a little less than a year now. Will this smartphone last me about 3-5 years without any problems? I've heard that he starts crashing everyday after about 6 months. I'm not paying €400 if it only lasts me a few months...
I might be getting this a way wondering if i got it on the network 3 would it have anything saying 3 on it? Cause I know that the t mobile blackberrys say t mobile on them? I think a 3 at the bottom might make it look quite ugly
@Rachel78MusicFreedom We can't really answer that one for you Rachel unfortunately. Every network is different and they can even vary on whether they display logos etc from phone to phone. We would recommend going into the 3 network store and asking in store whether this particular model will display a logo. Hope that helps.
I want this phone so much, I went for the cheap option of a Curve 8520 on pay as you go and have only had it for 4 months, but as soon as I have a decent wage, I'm buying this on contract, it looks amazing!
@emilyraynex24 The camera is 5.0 megapixel with LED flash, autofocus and video support. This is far superior the majority of BlackBerrys and performs well in comparison. 5.0 megapixel is currently the highest spec camera you can get on a BlackBerry device.
Just got the phone today. It took me FOREVER to take the battery door out, lol, the phone is smaller than expected, my finger is kinda big for the keys but I'll adjust. I'm still learning how to use to it. Hhaha, hopefully I'll love it.
can u tel me which bb is d best 2 buy m a college going student have a nokia 5800 xpress music right nw wnt a bb so need sum help m confused on which bb 2 buy
Do the Bold 02 contracts come with BIS internet and blackberry mail etc as well as the data plan as it doesnt state if you will need to pay extra for these ?
Depends what you are looking for. If you like a keypad then the BlackBerrys are great. But overall the iPhone 4 still stands at the top, if not in the top 3 best. The experience of the iPhone is better but sometimes you feel like having a change...!
Check out the BlackBerry Torch, that's a bit different.
I'm getting a new phone hopefully within the next month and i am really stuck between 3 phone. The HTC Desire Z, the BB Bold 9780 or BB Torch 9800? Any recommendations? At the moment i have the Nokia X6 symbian phone and i hate it! :(
The other two have slide out keyboards. is that what you are looking for? If so then the Torch is a beauty of a phone. This 9780 is simple and does everything quite easily. The Desire Z is a completely different experience with Android. It's nice and has loads of apps.
@E2vids I'm deciding between this one and the Torch. I've heard the Toarch isn't user friendly, that you can easily press lock since the key is too sensitive and sometimes mute it with your cheek when talking. Which one would you pick and why?
This one is the standard classic blackberry. No fuss and does exactly what it should. The Torch is something a little different. It has that touchscreen which is quite slick. Also the keyboard so you get the best of both. Though maybe you only need a touchscreen or keyboard rather than both. If you want something different choose the torch. If you want a standard good blackberry the Bold won't let you down.
I suggest going into a store and getting a feel for both before buying.
CAN SOM1 PLEASE HELP ME!, i have been trying to get private caller ID fro this phone, and a password, for my picture files and my txt inbox..CAN SOM1 PLEASE HELP..IS THIS POSSIBEL TO DO WITH THIS PHONE?!
Wow wish I could have got phones like this when I was 11. I'd recommend the iPhone if you like to use video and internet. Also loads of apps. The BlackBerry is cool though.
does verizon have this phone? and if it does, i didnt find it on the verizon site so could i just buy one on say amazon and will it be compatible with verizon? the one on amazon doesnt say which compan it has it just sas blackberry!! PLEEAAASEEE ANSWERR!!
I'm currently using a previous generation smartphone. I was wondering if this phone was worth buying now or waiting for BB to release newer phones later this year?
@NassirIsMyName There are a number of smart, stylish and feature packed BlackBerry models available. It all depends on your budget really. You can go right from the affordable 8520, to the mid tier 9300 Curve 3G or even go for the BlackBerry 9700 bold or the BlackBerry 9780 as seen in this video. Waiting for releases all depends on how patient you are and what condition your current phone is in! Hope that helps. Matt @ e2vids
i currently have an iPhone 4, but want to get a blackberry again and am debating of whether or not to buy a blackberry 9780...should i keep my iPhone 4 or get the 9780. suggestions please!
@3tyson Personally speaking I would go for the 9780 or the Bold 9700, the Torch's touchscreen and slide out QWERTY are a bit troublesome. I don't think its an ideal set up for a phone really.
Good luck choosing your new phone Tyson, let us know what you go for :)
Depends. Are you keen on a slide out keyboard. The 9800 is nice it's a more up to date BlackBerry but the 9780 is so easy to use. Technical - 9800. Talk time the 9780 is 6hrs to the 9800 5hrs 30mins.
You may need to contact Vodafone and ask them if you need a blackberry bundle as some bundles work and some do not. If yours doesn't they can switch you to one that does.
Hey just like a few others on here I need reassuance due to such negative feedback. I really want to get this on contract from you. No cashback as its hassle but i just want to know will i actually get the phone or just get taken for a ride?
Is it in stock and get delivered in a decent time period?
Apologies for the late reply we were away for Xmas.
You can get deals from us straight up with no cashback. Our delivery is next day if you order before 6pm as long as there is no severe weather. If you would like us to give you a call please direct message to our inbox with your details and we'll get someone to contact you with deals for this handset.
We have it in a nice white colour to. Don't sweat you won't be taken for a ride :)
I've had a Blackberry Curve 8320 for about 3 years now..and just ordered this.. I'm excited(: Glad to get rid of that annoying trackball I've replaced like 4 times haha.
Before I look into buying this phone. Talk to me about the cash-back system I've been hearing you guys are quite a nuisance when it comes to claiming money that should be payed back. Give me an overview on how it works?
@MrITSUM09 If you visit our website at e2save.com and click on the 'help' tab on the top navigation, you will find a whole section dedicated to Cashback. Here you can find out how it works, T's and C's etc. You will only have a problem with claiming cashback if you do not follow the simple instructions, send the wrong bill or forget for example. I always reccomend cashback contracts to friends as its a fantastic way of saving money and getting a nice cheque through every few months! :)
hi. where can i buy one of these blackberrys without carrier branding (like yours). I dont live in the U.S. and the Carrier branding is what keeps me from importing phones from the U.S.
you can upgrade depending on which network carrier you have. If you get a good deal we would advise the 9780 with the extra features. Those extra features make the difference.
