BlackBerry 9700 vs 9900 - Part 1 of 2

[MOBbeatsTheProducer]

fail 9900 @01:55

[zyfler]

I mean - A larger capacity battery for the Bold 9900

[zyfler]

Is there an after market extended battery available for the 9900?

[WirelessInsider]

@zyfler Hi! The phone is still relatively new, but a quick Google search yielded quite a few generic-brand extended life batteries for the 9900. Keep in mind though, that these batteries are physically larger and a separate battery plate is included which will make your phone thicker. A good brand to consider is Seidio. They are planning on releasing an extended battery for the 9900/9930 very soon. Cheers!

[zyfler]

@WirelessInsider Hey thanks alot for your response. Appreciate it! Happy New Year.

[DeepFriedFuzzball]

@zyfler you could also get one of those portable chargers, basically an external battery so if it runs low you just plug it in, that's what I do and I have only had to do it once :]

[deefeefe]

wow so u took 2 hours to make this vid?

[WirelessInsider]

@deefeefe With interruptions, yes haha. Then another 1.5 hours in post-production and 2 hours to render. Then there's the 5 hours to upload to YouTube...yeah, talk about a time killer eh? :D

[514Productions]

did you know that:

If you take a picture of a 9900 with a 9700, and 9900 taking a picture of the 9700, at the SAME TIME

send it to an iphone 4s with bluetooth.

a message comes up saying: blackberry is best

[MISSMES2]

isn't that the 9790 not 9700?

[DiegooVG]

@MISSMES2 no?

[buckbeak72]

Bold 9900 rocks! Love mine!

[514Productions]

9700 is crap

[Kruidberg]

Question can you downgrade the OS5 thema at the blackberry 9900 thumps up for the answer and if you can it still touch?

[WirelessInsider]

@Kruidberg Hi! No, you cannot downgrade the OS on the 9900 to OS5, mainly because the base OS it comes with is OS7. Older devices, like the 9700 and 9780, came with OS5 initially and incremental updates brought them up to OS6.

[Kruidberg]

@WirelessInsider so the OS7 is the touch Upgrade

Snd the OS6 is the 1 withouth touch

[JasnoGT]

I love my 9780! Do you think it would have made a difference on speed if you used a 9780 instead of 9700?

[WirelessInsider]

@JasnoGT Hi! It would have made a difference, albeit not a large one. Thanks to Blackberry pushing OS6 to older devices, they became more inefficient. Still, side-by-side, there is a noticeable difference in performance, particularly when loading large websites.

[rini12309]

I,m just wondering why do you have 3 phones ???

[JasnoGT]

@rini12309

He's a phone reviewer. He and many other reviewers get most of them loaned to them by companies (although he may own these.)

The more interesting question to ask is...... why dont you know this?

[mrrhtuner]

Very well made video!

[asdsgsrgsrhg]

HEY BUDDY.....DO YOU EXPERIENCE ANY PROBLEMS WITH YOUR 9700 ?? SINCE ITS RUNNING OS 6.0 ????????

IVE HEARD THAT EVEN THOUGH 9700 SUPPORTS OS 6 AND IS UPGRADABLE , IT GIVES PROBLEMS.......JUST WANT U TO HELP ME OUT HERE AND CLARIFY THIS . : )

[WirelessInsider]

@asdsgsrgsrhg Hi! What's good to keep in mind is that OS6 was initially launched on the BlackBerry Torch 1. As such, the software has many features of a touch-screen device, even when the 9300/9700/9780 do not have such an interface. I personally find it annoying...that, and OS6 should never have been pushed to the 2-year old 9700. The hardware is just too old. In short, yes, there have been some issues, especially with the camera. Stick with OS5 or upgrade the phone! :)

[asdsgsrgsrhg]

BEAUTIFUL THEM BOTH LOOK TOGETHER <3 <3

[jonathanfsm1]

jajajajaja what about ur voice sounds effects!! jajajaja funny....

[weneedtodosomething]

this is not a fair review.... 9700 was not built for os6... and the version you can put on the 9700 is patchy... hence the problems... 9900 rules tho... way ahead of the game...... as was the 9700 when it first hit the shops

[weneedtodosomething]

9700 was epic.... as was 8910.... I get 9900 tomoz!!!! woop

[sorrowedpoet]

Are you Oscar from "The Office (US)"

[WirelessInsider]

@sorrowedpoet Maybe...I like to think of myself as a post-puberty Invader Zim.

[yaguang]

hmm the battery looks the same size... but for the 9900 it has less capacity :/

[patrixia1894]

Why don't you compare bb bold 9780 with bb bold 9900?

[eevvvii]

good vid but seriously..what the f**K are u on?!

[efikpoo]

i have the blackberry bold 9700! is it worth to get the 9900!

i watched the vid but im still not sure

tnx!

[jhello125]

@efikpoo

Good Question. I have the Bold 9700 as well. And I realy ask myself if it's worth the money to buy the 9900. Of course the Browser and speed are far better on the 9900. But yet it's not that serious technological advance we have seen in other years. It's more likt you buy a new car, same Model just with more horsepower and nicer rims.

[efikpoo]

@jhello125

i think im going to buy it cause of the touch screen and the style which is very nice!!

[CelciusDegree]

Woooohooooo...1000th viewer!!!!

Good informative video. Planning to get Blackberry Bold 9900...

[bskota2]

? Why do you speak quickly

[WirelessInsider]

@bskota2 Heh, I talk quickly so I can try to squeeze in as much information that I can, since I can only upload a maximum of 15 minutes of video. Despite this, I still had to make a 2-part video for this comparison. Thanks for writing!

[homeboy9948]

9900 is a great blackberry phone. Go get it. I have it. All I can say is Wow. I am a business user mainly.

[WirelessInsider]

@homeboy9948 You said it. I love how practical it is, and how quickly you can access the information you want. You made a good choice my man!
