This phone looks great and works well for your simple texts and calls. However, if you try to use any of their internet browsers or email services with this model today, they will no longer work. Although, it’s WiFi and hotspot ability seems to work.

This was supposedly "MINT" condition. The back was completely scuffed up. The keyboard keys paint was worn off, the battery filthy dirty and even the sticker on the battery was torn. The second one doesn't even turn on so thats going back and the first one was never properly wiped which I am attempting to do now. OH And the charger he or she gives you is not the one pictured either. These are the furthest from "mint" as you can possibly be! DO NOT BUY

i personally love blackberrys, and this is the best blackberry you can buy right now,although there arent many apps, the few apps available work great. the only things i dont like: battery life isnt the best, but better than my old htc evo, camera is weak, but can still take alright pictures (nothing compared to my HTC EVO's 8 mega pixels) and when the battery gets to about 5 %, the antenna turns off. however, my old htc was roaming in my living room, the berry gets a least 2 bars, much better. but the look of the phone the awesome feel of the phone, and touch screen and GREAT keyboard combo make you stand out in a world full of iphone and android users. ive already influenced one on my best friends to join team blackberry
The bottom line is, if you're a BlackBerry lover, and have been packing something like the BlackBerry Bold 9780 for this long already, you can probably hold out for another 6-8 months for the first QNX BlackBerry, which will be running an operating system much more likely to be supported in the long haul. There is a bit of a gamble there, though; if the PlayBook has shown us anything, it's that the platform has a lot of function gaps to fill, and if they aren't ready in time for the QNX smartphone launch, then the Bold 9900/9930 may be more functional for the immediate future. While I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the BlackBerry 9900/9930 to get an upgrade to the new OS, the rumour that RIM's first QNX handset is using a single core processor and thus not dependent on a dual-core processor offers some hope for backwards compatibility. Between the loss of features like autofocus on the camera, the failure to include functions as advertised like NFC, the conspicuous absence of expected features like mobile hotspot, missing consumer electronics industry standards like DLNA home media sharing, and falling behind in old standards like battery life, I'm finding it hard to recommend the new BlackBerry Bold. The fact that the 9900/9930 is smooth and responsive isn't a feature, no matter what trademarked name RIM gives their rendering engine; it's what BlackBerry should have been all along. Augmented reality and voice-activated universal search are both nice touches, but as far as I can tell, these are the only real new tricks the Bold 9900/9930 brings to the table. I've yet to really dive in to the the Torch 9810 or 9850, but I fear they're going to be more of the same. The feel of the device is great though, and that can't be denied. The screen is sharper than ever, and extremely responsive. For BlackBerry diehards that want a big honkin' keyboard in a slim package, the Bold 9900 will fit the bill so long as they're willing to pay a premium up-front for the device cost at launch. With a bit of patience, I'm sure that $250 pricetag will get knocked down a hundred bucks. For anyone looking for something game-changing (or at least competitive) from RIM, you'll have to wait until the first QNX phones hit the market.Read full review
I bought this "No Contract, barely used" Bold on eBay about a month ago. It is very fast to surf the net and a breeze to open emails_large files no hasstle either. The keyboard is so smooth that I hardly remember the phone also has touchscreen feature. So far I observed that there seem to be some issue with it recognising the SD card in that when photos are taken it seem to register only the current ones in the media card but does not show the previous photos that are actually on the card. Apart from that the phone has been working exceptionally well. I have no regrets and would recommend it to someone; in fact the phone was actually used to write and send this review. I will buy another one at that price it is definitely worth it.
