Blackberry 9900/9930

fizzle-187 · 17 Aug 2011 at 16:17

Whats the difference between the 9900 and 9930?

Or am I missing something?

Robbo · 17 Aug 2011 at 16:19

9930 is the CDMA version for the US, etc.

That's not so bad then I suppose.

Most of the contracts for this are pretty steep to be honest, though there are some cheap ones out there (Buymobilephones & MPD).

I've ordered from CPWH. £31, 300mins, unlimted txts, 500mb BB data. Free phone, happy with that

Have you had many BB's, what makes you prefer them to the iPhone for example (out of interest)?

I'd honestly say no, the iPhone 5 will be here in 50~ days or so. Some retailers are already starting to dry up the iP4 stock.

Why don't you like the S2?

Might as well wait for the i5 to come out, its due out very soon-ish.

But if you can get one cheap enough then go for it...its a nice phone and shouldnt have any trouble running iOS5.

Nope, I'm running iOS 5 beta 5 on mine now and it's very quick. Effortless.

It's only fair I give them a chance. I have a lot of reading to do

The phone is not for me really, doesn't really appeal to me! It's a great phone but not for me! I miss my old blackberry as well! Will be getting this new blackberry (hopefully) and an iphone!

Yes.

Still loving the phone. Simple, smooth, productive. Everything just *works* out of the box and having a single inbox for everything is just looovely.
(apart from when the OS crashed

)

Robbo · 17 Aug 2011 at 16:56

Was it old firmware that caused it to crash, have you got it updated now?

Did you get it from Vodafone directly (I forget)?

No idea what caused it to crash, I had it direct from voda but did a battery pull to get my IMEI for my insurance and it wouldn't boot up.
Using the latest version from vodafoneDE linked on the crackberry forums at the mo, and after some initial BBM failures, it's smooth as you like now

And yeah, from Voda direct on a 12 month contract

Should have got the contract you had when they had that cashback deal !!!! Regret it now
