i have this phone on sprint and it sucks. it keeps freezing up, locking itself, its very slow and laggy and sometimes wont even take a charge. Too bad my contract isnt up until 2013 -_-
@April36180 its crazy how bbm is the only thing that im really switching my android for...): but im doing it all the ppl i socialize with are bb freaks plus they live in jamaica so cheaper to keep in touch with them
@Jdriweezy i know bro, i am jamaican(full) and im going to use bbm just to chat with ppl back home hence the reason i want a bb but if bbm was on other platforms then by all means fuck the blackberry. But i bought the blackberry 9900 and its awesome
This is my 3rd black berry. i got this phone when it came it was great at first but now its slow it always gets a grey screen and i have to reset it normally. Theres been soo many times the alarm doesnt go off. I hate this phone i will never go back to blackberry
I just got this phone and the battery life sucks. Idk if it's just me. Maybe I should go back to verizon and talk to them about it? It only lasts one day on a full charge then it dies. Is the phone supposed to be like that or is there something wrong with mine??
@mramadoor I think you should go to Verizon, i have this model and it last me up to 2 days! Do you bmm allot or use wifi on it allot? Maybe those are the reason!
Has anyone has a problem with their 9650 and it's row of buttons where the trackpad is? For me, my buttons like feel loose. Has anyone else had a concern like this? Is it normal?
@ragonetti I think it is because blackberry has the reputaion as the "business phone" so many People that are in a business see blackberry as the only natural point.
how well are them buttons next to the trackpad? I heard they stick and aren't very responsive also how are the physical keyboard? I've also been told they stick in what not..please reply! thanks. :)
this has to be the most thorough review i've ever seen. in that single length of time you showed the important features to help with my decision versus 15 or so minutes of mindless rambling. for that i thank you lol. i have a samsung moment and kinda regret the fact that i didn't go with my initial choice of a blackberry...i think i wanna make the move now tho.
@tequiierox3 They're basically the same thing.I think the 9700 has more memory space. But they're basically the same except the 9650 has a CDMA radio.
My Sprint Curve 8530 is waaaay faster than this when loading a page. Maybe its coverage area? I do have java turned off though.....This is once again giving BB browsers a horrible impression when they are actually not that bad at all. I have the HTC Hero and BB8530....BBerry is faster when backing out of a page and sometimes loading one too.(Check my vids)
@IKILLEDUSUCKA10 40 bucks for everything, call sprint tell them you work for a major company like ups or american airlines and you get 25% off each month your bill. Then choose the unlimited plan for 69 and if you need more minutes just call and say you will cancel unless they give you 500 bonus minutes a month. Say that other carriers give you better minutes at that price. Sprint will do it as I have do this about 20 times for all my friends.
blackberry sucks they just put another number on a phone and change like 2 things and say its a new version even tho it looks exactly the same as the older version.
@Hidd3nman87 its not like they're the only ones doing that look at the iphone from the first gen to the 3g not alot of major changes other then the 3g support
