I've had the 9900 for 2 weeks, my best buddy has the 9790. contrary to what ALOT of people say my battery life has been fine and I'm a teen using this thing alot, i can get through a day but ill need to charge it at night. it looks and feels really great and i like the bigger keyboard. from looking at my friends 9790 it's keyboard is also really nice, super soft. i didn't expect it to be as great as i discovered it to be. Both great devices, 9900 is obvs flashier, choice depends on ur wallet
@saulyb Well both the 9900 and 9790 run on the same battery so there will be no difference in battery life. The only thing thats different on the 9790 than on the 9900 is that the 9790 has an autofocus camera. But the 9790 does have a slightly slower processor, is slightly thicker and has a smaller display. so to be honest having the 9790 wouldnt be much different to the 9900.
@MA10Station mine(bold 9900) gets 14-15 hours..i put mine in 2g..my bbm,twitter,facebook,email work fine with 2g..as we all know the the 9900 is much faster so it works fine in 2g with those apps..I only put mine in 3G only if I use the browser..that's easy for me.. im glad i can use my bold 9900 longer everyday.
@iiDannyHuang tho the 9790 came later than 9900, the 9900 is still the top of the line,blackberry's flagship.. mine(bold 9900) gets 14-15 hours..i put mine in 2g..my bbm,twitter,facebook,email work fine with 2g..as we all know the the 9900 is much faster so it works fine in 2g with those apps..I only put mine in 3G only if I use the browser..that's easy for me.. im glad i can use my bold 9900 longer everyday.
@Navenadroj Or you could just buy a phone with a good camera in the first place. You sound like a typical Blackberry user who is willing to settle for less than the best.
I'm 18, i'm a girl and i'm about to buy one of those, but i really don't know which one to chose. The 9790 as AF camera, but it's screen is pretty small for a touchscreen, i think...Pleeeease help!
guys... 9900 is fascinating but camera n battery is d draw back. no AF in 9900. i have shifted from 9780 to 9900 but in 9900 is only for looks. if u want to buy just for OS7 than 9900 is not a better option. u can go for 9790 and curve for os 7.
@skillzbillz2 it will depend on the condition on your 9780, i got a 9780 and pretty much looks brand new it can be sold or traded in for about 300 - 350 quid if crap condition like 120 i guess :L
I have a 9790 and it is a awesome phone,for all you guys who don't know what to chose you should get the 9790 it runs on the same operating system,has auto-focuse which the 9900 doesn't have and is 150$ less than the 9900.
i think the 9790 is alot more practical; better camera, cheaper, very similar specs and in a smaller package. people who enjoyed the 9780 will love this device, similar size but so much faster with a touchscreen/bigger memory
HOWEVER i feel asthough the 9900 is alot more stylish. helps that is has a slightly larger keyboard and better resolution
I'm commenting on this on my BB bold 9900 right now and the bold 9900 on videos looks so big but when you actually buy it its not even big, its an amazing mobile phone and I love it.
I have them both at me. After a few days I am back to 9900. No performance issues, but the looks. The 9790 is quite small, and it also feels 150$ cheaper on materials. Also due to it's size and style I think it's a woman phone, seriously.
@btnetro a women phone? lol ... your the biggest clown ive seen type on this site. your a loser, you no body who r u to say weather a phone is for a girl or guy? unless the thinks pink...shutup
Due to the auto-focus camera alone, I'm starting to consider I may prefer a 9790. The autofocus on my old curve 8900 is great, my wife has an 8520 without autofocus and it's nowhere near the quality.
@ZombieKiller1909 for a full charge at 100%, starting from 9am. how long will the battery last? average usage (Using texting, some calls, twitter, facebook and whatsapp).
