BlackBerry Bold 9900 GSM Factory Unlocked Phone - No Warranty (Black)

PREFACE:I honestly forgot which seller this came from (sorry) but I do know it came FLAWLESS for about USD$190. It was NIB with AT&T branding which was absolutely PERFECT for me (you can guess why). I have no idea if it was locked or not though, because I wanted it for AT&T anyways.HARDWARE:The keys are brilliantly soft, yet very easy to type on (with my fists of meat and fingers of butter) The screen is a decent resolution too, it's sharp yet very bright in daylight. The speaker is loud and crisp in calls, but a little less quality for a/v than the Curve (who cares). The touch screen is on-par with standard devices today, and is always a neat party trick for non-blackberry people. It's also a great feeling to have the same zooming, panning, map control and etc as an Android device.Battery life is a bit crap, it lasts all day on normal use but only just. The processor power may to blame for that. The camera is so-so, I wouldn't skin a website with photos from it like I did with my Samsung Galaxy S2. Call Quality is decent, nothing to write home about either.SOFTWARE:BB7 (Blackberry OS 7) is very intuitive and has some great features, but it's a bit unstable... and there's less apps for it than BB10. (Next phone is definitely a Q10 unless they release something better.) It's a nice-looking OS but misses a couple important marks in 2014 like Voice control, Text-to-speech, and an instant web search capability. It's definitely a great communicator though... as BlackBerry has always been, and Blackberry hasn't fallen short on that at all.OVERALL:Great overall for Blackberry 7 Devices, Not so up-to-speed on the whole smartphone world. If you have the extra cash, splurge on the Q10. You'll be rewarded with more apps, better interface, more features, and the same smooth, soft, yet rigid keyboard for typing out your important communications.

So firstly about the product. This blackberry is so much fun to use, great OS and friendly interface. Of course the blackberry trademark qwerty keyboard and trackball are the usp. Cons are the touchscreen and the battery. I was fully aware of the limited battery life, but since its compensated for by the slim size, I feel its a decent tradeoff. Just need to remember to charge it pretty regularly and have bought a couple of extra chargers to keep at all places at all times. The touchscreen is not very intuitive and a little difficult to use if you have big fingers and of course doesn't compare to the apple experience, but the awesome trackpad helps out a lot. All in all a great device and I received it exactly as advertised by Worldwide Distributors. Its an unlocked AT&T phone which I received and if you are a t-mobile user you will not be able to use 3G. In case you are buying this, it would help if you contact the seller and ask them for the specific one (tmob/atnt) that you want. For me AT&T works just fine, guess I got lucky because I had not intimated the seller during my purchase. 5 stars for the bb 9900 \m/

hace muchos años y fue perfecto! me hizo muy feliz!

Bought this 9900 as an homage to the device that I sold a long time ago. The 9900 I had was beautiful with amazing build quality, and was something I just wanted to own once again. This device was NOT that.1) The first thing I noticed was the battery. It came with a JM1 battery that was an OBVIOUS fake. It was printed on the front of the battery as 2400mAh, of which the original was 1230mAh (and the original didn't even print this on the front, making this very obvious). It was also EVER so slightly thicker, so the back door would not even close properly, and would sometimes pop open. I included a picture. Just google the JM1 battery and you will see it doesn't look the same on the front, and obviously shouldn't be 2400mAh.2) Next I noticed that the edges of the steel frame were not perfectly lined up with the soft touch back, which means you easily felt the edges of the steel in your hand. This is an obvious sign that this phone was taken apart, put back together, and done so poorly. It wasn't much, but it was enough to be annoying.3) After this, I then noticed it would NOT read an SD card no matter how hard I tried, and boy did I try.4) The browser has some stupid Chinese site bookmarked and it can not be removed.5) All the accessories in the box were OBVIOUS Chinese knockoffs, some with the Blackberry logo not even printed out correctly. I would not trust a single device with these cables/charger. The included case was a JOKE when compared to the quality Blackberry case. It was also listed as a swivel holster in the bag it was sealed in....it was actually some cheap pouch.Considering you can pick these up in the same condition as this (maybe better) for a LOT cheaper on the used market, I simply can NOT recommend this at all. STAY CLEAR. DO NOT TRUST DLH Mobile!
