the reasons why i love this phone 1. SuperB battery, it last 2days even im always use wifi/mobile network, Call and text. 2. Good Quality of Camera, (better than Bold 9900) it has flash and auto-focus 3. it has back cover that not easy to scratch or fade. 4. Soft keyboard and trackpad. 5. it has good display and Good phone size, easy to handle :)
I just signed a new contract with this phone today. My first blackberry, but Im impressed. And I have to admit, this video encouraged me even more to buy it. Awesome phone!
I got this for really cheap some months ago (for like 10 euros). I use it daily for the Docs to Go suite and an app called MindBerry (mind mapping program) and I just love the physical keyboard on this device. I do have a Lumia 640 XL too, but Office isn't as good on that device as Docs to Go is on the Blackberry. Ironic, because Microsoft made both Office and Windows Phone.
Evelyn Zuberbühler I got mine at a local car boot sale. The phone wasn't in a very good condition when I bought it, but it works just fine. Maybe it's obvious, but if you're interested in one of these devices, I recommend you to download and install the latest Blackberry OS firmware (if it isn't already on there) and then doing a complete reset. I had a problem that involved typing double characters that got fixed when I updated it. Good luck!
This phone is still superior to anything currently out on the market even though years have passed and now it's 2014. It gets the job done with fewer moves than anything else. Today's handsets are all gee-whiz flash and dazzle, dazzle, but they're clumsy to use and waste far too much time.
yeah very solid phone i use mine over 3 years (i dont gonna lie i test other phones but my main device was this baby)until last week i upgrade to a 9900 but i love this phone help me a lot of times with school and work also man i love that black/wine pearl just look sexy.
I love your enthusiasm in your reviews. It doesn't make it boring as most reviews are on youtube. And blackberry is the device i'm thinking of. The iPhone will be a distraction to me.
hey! great video! never purchased a blackberry before but im looking for something flash. i have a couple questions for the 9780. 1.does it no bother you that there is no touchscreen and is the mouse feature easy to get used to? 2. one of my prides and joys is music! is the BB Bold great for music and easy to purchase? 3. is it really worth all of this money? and why? thanks alot
I remember as a kid i always wanted BlackBerry but my parents couldnt allow to buy since it was one of the better phones back then. And still looks good i should probably buy it now
HI! I was wondering if you thought it would be worth to wait for the new bold 9900 coming out in september or maybe later!!! I dont think I can wait :)
I got mine today- I already have an iphone4 which is amazing and an android but I have to tell you - this beautiful beautiful blackberry does it for me. Its so fast, keyboard is comfortable it's a joy. The screen resolution oh heavens, it's amazingly crisp. Noooooooo lag whatsoever and no rebooting, battery life is awesome. Go for it! Carphonewarehouse £25 for 24 months that's amazing price.
Hiya I have a 9700 and really like it, i have an upgrade on my contract coming up; seems i don't like touch screens....would this be the best one to go for?? It does look good or is there a better one??
does Rogers still give out the belt clip with these phones? On their website the 'in the box' description does not say anything about a sleeve or the clip. Their website is often inaccurate.
I was going to get this one but someone told to get the Bold 9700 it's better? I'm not a Blackberry person ,this will be my first one !! Is a blackberry a good investment? Please reply :)
1: does the phone support tmobiles hspa+ service? 2: does the battery door still feature the leather back like on the 9000 and 9700, the back looked like a rubbery grip texture.
I just ordered one off e-bay for my job. Is it a touch screen? (edit): I now know it is not a touch screen.. It doesn't matter to me... I have the NOTE 10 as my daily driver and it's a beast.... Ideally, I wanted the Priv for work, but am settling with the bold (got it for 15.00 versus the Priv's current asking price at/up to $150.00).
Just picked up the 9780 for T-mobile! Love it...Solid build, Packed with features! OS 6 is awesome!!! Camera is great...Style is mean. (All Black) Ive been using Blackberry devices since the first curve came out and they are always a great choice! This one is by far Blackberry's Flagship model...You will not be dissapointed. ;)
do you know if i can buy a Blackberry from Rogers without a BB add-on or a data plan? im with Rogers and im looking at either the Bold 9780, Torch or Curve 9300- ima teenager and i know their expensive but i love em!
i got bad news... in wind is worth 50 dollars less... anyways i got a question, since u buy it in the full price u can go in another company like bell or fido right? and do a monthly contract??
I love BB's but i hate when the battery is removed and put it again you need to wait a lot of time until the BB reformat or resetting or whatever.think if you have an emergency all the time you need to wait to place a call. Mine is a BB 8900 and it takes about 5 minutes to reset.Hope they resolve this problem.
Hey, guys.. Nice review... what do you think it's ok to buy bb bold 9780 for 149 bucks... one friend brought one from Canada and he also took a samsung Galaxy S3 and a BB 9900..thanks
@itsjustsexxx what do you use your phones for mostly? text and talk? just curious. why didn't you like the iphone? have you had a blackberry previous to your torch?
I just bought one of these new for 34 dollars. I will use it as a "landline" in my home. Much better than Blu and Alcatel brands sold here in Brazil. Plus the nostalgia of using a blackberry again.
why does rim update like 2 new things and release the phone. why don't they take the time to really add a bunch of new features. not just 5mp camera :S
I'm thinking of buying a Blackberry as a back up phone. I found some cheap ones for around €30 or less. I want to know if these phones are still good and if you can install WhatsApp on it. And you can charge Blackberry's with the charger you get with your phone these days right?
+Max WhatsApp will be supported until the end of this year. For charging and connecting to the PC it uses standard Micro USB. The number of apps in Blackberry World (the appstore) isn't too small, but most of the apps either cost money or spam your phone full with ads. you cannot install android apps, this only works on the newer phones like the Q10 or the Classic.
I'm currently bidding on a whole sale lot of these to tinker with. Yeah, I do have a QWERTY tablet with the power of a netbook, but sometimes it's good to have something compact, traditional and use full on the go without breaking the bank.
@DaddyEnglish Soooo true! The 9700 and 9780 are almost identical! I'm sure there are SOME physical differences that help you ID the phone's model I would think.
love the reviews,and enthusiasm!.was undecided on which new phone to get,htc,blackberry,motorola etc etc,i was even more baffled!,dismissed htc for their shockingly bad battery life that and theres just to much stuff on it,theyve forgotten to develope batteries to keep up with there tech.was going to get the bb torch but settled on the 9780,just ordered it in white,ticks all the boxes in spades,and not so long ago i dismissed bb for a mobile phone,funny how things change.
@korean4lifezz thanx and is it actually worth it gettin this phone or the 9700 or doesnt it matter because ican get the 9780 £10 more then the 9700 so there aint no money problem???????????? and does it look better then the 9700
I had this phone when I was in high school, the memories. It had a flawless keyboard and sleek design. I honestly want to switch back to it.
i just ordered one

I really want to buy this phone, a new one, with original box and contents.
La Piovra does it have whatsapp?

La Piovra u r crazy living in past😁 still ur life ur rules
Good old days. I had this one and i miss it.
2019 anyone? #JustForTheNostalgia😌
One of the best phones ever made. I still remember the excitement when I got mine.

I still have mine. Still love it.

also man i love that black/wine pearl just look sexy.
I prefer this phone for the keyboard and the look. It's one of the best phones which BB have done!
2015. Still have it as a backup or when I get tired of the current phone I have. Solid. Battery last for days. Loud ass speaker. Compact form factor.
...With this said. Try using a newer Curve running OS7. I bought a 9315 for Tmobile for $19. Its twice as fast as the 9780 and the GPS actually works.
It's 2017 , so this phone is trash nowadays
I love your enthusiasm in your reviews. It doesn't make it boring as most reviews are on youtube. And blackberry is the device i'm thinking of. The iPhone will be a distraction to me.
how else is watching this in 2k17
I bought this one 2 days ago. I love it, but I also found out that you can do so much with it. Thats why i'm checking out vids like this.
Whose here in 2019?
2020 covid.19
kevin, you're so exited! that's why I like you're reviews better than others!
its fucking 2019 and i just order this phone for my business perfect!
I see you are man of culture.

Nostalgia hitting hard
well i am getting this as my new year gift!! i like the size and system which really symbolise BB
@Praisethecookie Thanks for your honest suggestions.. what about Nokia N8, N9, 701 ? Would you recommend those phones also ?
Watching it in 2021, thinking to buy it, this is so good BB designs are still unmatchable.
Got this phone today.
Couldn't be happier with it :)
just ordered mine after having the curve 8900 for awhile can't wait !
would you still recommend getting this phone??
he sounded so happy to own a blackberry then and today its a different story. i am happy to get one though i am getting this phone for my birthday!
@LearningDjDunHate sweet, can't wait till mine comes. cheers for the help. any apps you advise? yeah i looked at the torch bud didn't like it.
Decided to check one of these because of the news that classic Blackberry(s) will be unsupported starting Jan 4, 2022.
does Rogers still give out the belt clip with these phones?
On their website the 'in the box' description does not say anything about a sleeve or the clip. Their website is often inaccurate.
getting this for Christmas !
I was going to get this one but someone told to get the Bold 9700 it's better? I'm not a Blackberry person ,this will be my first one !! Is a blackberry a good investment? Please reply :)
I miss this phone. Any news on a BB resurrection 2023??
so excited getting this in 2 weeks :)
the flash is placed too far from the camera.do you recognise any difference in the image quality ?
i sold it to my aunt. best phone for business currently using note 10+ but not the same ergonomic feels as Blackberry
1: does the phone support tmobiles hspa+ service?
2: does the battery door still feature the leather back like on the 9000 and 9700, the back looked like a rubbery grip texture.
how did you get that colorware done....i'd really like to know...ive been on their site but cant figure it out! It looks unreal!
@LearningDjDunHate is it easy to use, just waiting for it to come, ordered it as an up grade. i've never used a bb before?
I just ordered one off e-bay for my job. Is it a touch screen? (edit): I now know it is not a touch screen.. It doesn't matter to me... I have the NOTE 10 as my daily driver and it's a beast....

Thx for review i saw other videos for blackberrys and you have the best vidio so far and i am getting this phone
Gonna sell my iPhone 3GS... should I get this or the Torch? Which would be better to get as a first BlackBerry phone?
Im thinking of getting one of these. Its either a BB or an Andriod. What do you guys think?
i got bad news... in wind is worth 50 dollars less... anyways i got a question, since u buy it in the full price u can go in another company like bell or fido right? and do a monthly contract??

I just watched this guy do the unboxing of the 9900 and then i went back to this one. LOL - He got what he wanted exactly
Where did you get that Canadian case? Custom made?
I just bought one of these new for 34 dollars. I will use it as a "landline" in my home. Much better than Blu and Alcatel brands sold here in Brazil. Plus the nostalgia of using a blackberry again.
I want this in 2020. Can someone tell me where to purchase from?
how long can you record on video? is it those 1 minute lenght recording?? i hope not please tell me i wanna get one ha:)
I love this phone. Just got it on friday and its flowing nicely.
@iiLyBabe12 did you charged it a day when you got it?
why does rim update like 2 new things and release the phone. why don't they take the time to really add a bunch of new features. not just 5mp camera :S
PLEASE ANSWER does the chrome look cheap and plastic or does it have better quality then the 9700
God, I miss that phone.
im wanting to get one of these but are they better than my LG Viewty Snap?
@CrackBerrydotCom is the 9700 bigger than the 9780, or do they have the same size?
What is the prettiest one? Blackberry bold 9000, 9700 or 9780? ;)
my next target..! my 9700 must be sold right now, i can't wait for this loevly device :D

omg thanks, im getting mine in a few hours. cant wait!
Woah hope you get it xdddddddd
Bruhh Ive moved on
@@summerbayy Good to hear that.
Amazing review as usual, keep up the Great work!
should i get this blackberry or wait till the new one comes out
I've heard that the Blackberry 9700 Case fits well with the 9780?! does it??
I love this review quick and to the point! thank you!!
I'm currently bidding on a whole sale lot of these to tinker with. Yeah, I do have a QWERTY tablet with the power of a netbook, but sometimes it's good to have something compact, traditional and use full on the go without breaking the bank.
Does the retail box still include the holster/case for the phone?
SHOULD I GET THIS OR BB STYLE 9670 OR BB 9360? I cant decide... which one lasts longest? good keyboard? the weigh?
That handset looks really nice. My iPhone contract ends in 10 days, really confused what to get....
