This phone is sittin in my closet but I still love it. Might switch back to it for awhile. Great quality device.LOUD speaker, good camera, Nice small form factor. No matter how many android devices I go through I can always switch back to this. Its a keeper for years!
Just so you know you can adjust how many rows of icons you have on the home screen when the menu is closed. It's in the options for the home screen and you can choose between having 0-2 rows of icons showing.
Great video Aaron I got the blackberry bold 9700 from AT&T the other day I don't know why AT&T didnt have the upgraded version which is the blackberry bold 9780
I just recently switched to android, and I have to admit I kinda miss my blackberry :( They may not have the super fast processors or the amoled touchscreen displays or even the fancy app icons/animations, but they do execute pure work like no other. Build quality is always top notch, design flawless, looks professional, and I remember reading somewhere a blackberry saved someone's life, as they had it in their shirt pocket when they were shot and it stopped the bullet or something.
Dude!! Did you say the black chrome looks better? I think the 9700 looks better, mainly because of its silver chrome and the thick leather on the battery cover, though the 9780 has little improved features, the 9700 looks more "boldish". the 9780 looks like a curve at a quick glance.
@owensoft how is it weak? the os runs just fine with it and battery life is great. BB OS don't call for a 1GHZ processor amd we users don't want to be hooked to a wall most of the day.
I need help , do u think I shud get this or the 9700 cause I think that looks better but does it actually mater because this one has the better featured
@cv2ofcov if you like the touch screen. they are releasing a 4th bold in 3 months. its just like the bold 9000 expect this one is 9900 and its both touch screen and qwerty. its not a slider either. check it out if you already dont know about the phone
@905Justin but the wifi and the speed is better on this phone and there aint no problems with this phone like the iphone 4 had are there and do u think that this or the 9700 looks better????
actually you can adjust the icons to be shown on the main menu but you can do it from the settings on the home screen when we clıck to options it opens home screen preferences and then we can choose to see no ıcons, 1 row or 2rows :)
Hi, nice video buddy. i live in UK and i'm going to Canada, Toronto this Sunday from this date, and i was wondering if i can buy this phone on t-mobile on prepaid (as US/CANADA say it), and if yes where can i find all those phone stores in toronto? or just good phone store where i can go and have look. please get back to me. thanks in advance.
@smodeLL i went from an iphone 3g to a blackberry bold 9000, i think that is was a good change. i love the keyboard and the UI is pretty good (ive updated the UI to 5.0) but i do miss a touch screen and some of the perks that come with one. so my advice is to go to the Torch because its the best of both worlds.
ahh you mean that..now I get it..I meant with bold this one (which is at the vid)..that this bold(9780) is better then the curve or somethin..so why is the curve(9360) better?
i have read that models made in mexico have the keyboard (stuttering issues) and trackpad problems.sometimes even those made in hungary. im getitin mine this tuesday and i hope its not gonna be the case. someone also posted that pins that start with 23 may have that issue. pins that part with 25 are ok though
i m trying to decide whether i should get the bold or the htc sensation. how is the texting on the bold? my thumbs are wide and i think the keys are small on the bold so idk if i would be able to text well on it
the last phone ive had are all touch screen, android and that stuff.when i used the bb at first i didnt like it but i started liking it, and now im in high school everyone has bb's and always on bbm
@ali2k4 Your assumption is incorrect. I have missed having a physical keyboard. Although if I do make the switch, I have a feeling I will miss many of my apps.
hey aaron, do u know if there is a way to lock the home screen? so I don't keep on scrolling to favorites, frequent, media or download. i want it to just stay locked at "All" do u know if that is even possible? thanks
@AndrewRawr to each is own i guess but blackberry has the tenor of ALL smartphones. i have a bb curve 8520 and when hooked up to wifi i can do just about ANYTHING.i will always own a blackberry. to me,i-phones are expensive,not really practical and are limited to one network....ill own an itouch but never an i-phone.
@GAMEBOIMARCUS so i'll have to wait until next year when they release the 1010? cause they are going to release it and YOU are going to say its the FASTEST BB EVERZ! so why can't I have it now?
just can't get enough, is the best quality song for the blackberry bold 9780, The sound is just amazing
i got this phone last week and ups is on its way soooo excited!
This phone is sittin in my closet but I still love it. Might switch back to it for awhile. Great quality device.LOUD speaker, good camera, Nice small form factor. No matter how many android devices I go through I can always switch back to this. Its a keeper for years!

Ummm your'e have it?
this unboxing made me change my old phone (Impression) to this new blackberry 9780. :)
just got mine earlier today... so badass
good job getting to the product right away and not spending too much time looking at the box....!!!
I never had a BB before, but I definately want one! I am not sure which one I should get though, this one or the new Torch..?
I ordered this phone today! My first BlackBerry!
I guess I'll go to the store to get mine tomorrow... Think it'll be sold out in the stores by then?
Gonna get that phone Monday so excited!!!
Unboxing Blackberry 9780 Is Very Useful And Meaningful.
Got it and love it!!! Best Blackberry I have used
Just so you know you can adjust how many rows of icons you have on the home screen when the menu is closed. It's in the options for the home screen and you can choose between having 0-2 rows of icons showing.
My dad just bought this phone and gifting it to me on my Birthday at 7th, um so excited! :D
Great video Aaron I got the blackberry bold 9700 from AT&T the other day I don't know why AT&T didnt have the upgraded version which is the blackberry bold 9780
You can add a second row on the home screen. the setting is in home screen options under personalize. 1,2 or 3 rows
I had a 9700 in Qatar, love/hate relationship. Definately miss blackberry and hope to grab one of these soon.

getting it tommorow, pumped! :D
yes you can auto adjust how many row you have i had the same blackberry and i could make where it is two rows, 1 row or even no rows
I have an iPhone 3GS but I've been liking Blackberries lately...might have to go team blackberry
BlackBerry has been pretty good with providing some basic things with the packaging, even VZW BBs get some things
Getting This Phone in White on my birthday:) SOO EXCITED :D But is it a good phone?
Dude!! Did you say the black chrome looks better? I think the 9700 looks better, mainly because of its silver chrome and the thick leather on the battery cover, though the 9780 has little improved features, the 9700 looks more "boldish". the 9780 looks like a curve at a quick glance.
Have this phone for 4 1/2 months and still love it...and im and android guy!
which one do you think is better this one or the old bold in terms of appearance
@MarcRevenge blackberry are most used for email n texting over heavy web stuff
i would like it if you would do a reveiw comparing the blackberry torch VS the bold 9780
@MajorYT The features are the same but 9780 doesn't have BB 7. I think the latest update for 9780 is BB 6. Not sure
Getting this phone today! Best phone ever made! :D
@905Justin thanx I don't have any of them yet but as I don't have any of them I think it's better to go with the 9780
thanxxxxxxx
@owensoft how is it weak? the os runs just fine with it and battery life is great. BB OS don't call for a 1GHZ processor amd we users don't want to be hooked to a wall most of the day.
@TheOlunja Congrats! I'm thinking about getting this one in a couple weeks too.
i think the 9700 looks better and i dont know why they got rid of the leather backing on the 9780.
my first flagship phone
I need help , do u think I shud get this or the 9700 cause I think that looks better but does it actually mater because this one has the better featured

im a first time blackberry user.... i've never had a phone yet,would this be a good phone if i couldnt afford the bold 9900 4g?
@905Justin but the wifi and the speed is better on this phone
and there aint no problems with this phone like the iphone 4 had are there
and do u think that this or the 9700 looks better????
actually you can adjust the icons to be shown on the main menu but you can do it from the settings on the home screen when we clıck to options it opens home screen preferences and then we can choose to see no ıcons, 1 row or 2rows :)
Phonedog, Blackberry bold 9780 or Tourch?

@BenjaminLucky13 True. I just will be pissed if the BB 7 is given some better features that BB 6 doesn't have, other than that, the phone feels great.
does the location option work with Wi-fi or do u need to have a web plan
does the 9780 stil have the leather backing?

@AndrewRawr to each is own i guess but blackberry has the tenor of ALL smartphones. i have a bb curve 8520 and when hooked up to wifi i can do just about ANYTHING.i will always own a blackberry. to me,i-phones are expensive,not really practical and are limited to one network....ill own an itouch but never an i-phone.

@GAMEBOIMARCUS so i'll have to wait until next year when they release the 1010? cause they are going to release it and YOU are going to say its the FASTEST BB EVERZ! so why can't I have it now?
i don't understand why blackberry phones have no front facing camera. isn't it supposed to be for business??
PLEASE DO A vs. to the 9700!
Is it easy to type if you have big thumbs ?
I like my 8520, battery lasts forever,call quality is great,isnt that what a phone is for ?
Wow, a BB that looks like all other Blackberry's.
