@MrWilliamcute They are the same hardware, the 9930 has CDMA radio working on Verizon in the US. Each carrier offers different software in addition to the BlackBerry 7 software with the phone.
THANK YOU!!! finally someone else who actually likes their bold 9900, great phone and no need for apps sincei have an ipad with a massive display which beats any iphone or android device.
I LOVE my new Bold. It is THE most amazing phone :). I never use my trackpad anymore, the touchscreen is so much faster. The phone overall is really fast and really reliable.
Could you tell me how you like your BB Bold after having it several months? I am ready for a new phone. Had the curve. Loved it. Got an Android as a gift a couple years ago. Like it ok, but really want a BB again,just very hesitant because of all the negative things I read about them.
Something that noone ever really talks about, and this might not be a big deal to some people, is the charging cord is so long. It's s convenient if you tavel alot and stay in hotels... sometimes an outlet is really far away from the bed.
I have so many problems with my HTC thunderbolt. I HATE it!!!!!!!!!!! I know people at vzw and they could get me this if i were to give up my thunderbolt. Should I or should i wait for a new BB???
The Blackberry Bold 9930 was one of the very best phones out in 2011..its 2012 now and still the Bold is the most secure phone out..the best looking phone out..the best build quality, the very best keyboard of any phone..Excellent reception..Excellent voice quailty..nice loud speakers...But the samsung galaxy nexus got all the hype..which was one big Fail in all i listed above.
this or iphone 5 plzz reply i seen some iphone 5 pics idk if there true BUT THEY ARE FUGLY, i hv iphone 4s not satisfied, i want a phone that i like nd i like this one lol but plzzz reply the only good things that APPLE HAS or the other stuff but not the phones
ive had my phone for a mnth now and I luv it. i kno ppl rag on tha app store but really how many apps do i need?! I LUV MY BB9930 and i got this great blue tpu case. i cant take my hands off it literally i think its glued to my hand lol
@eiggerris I've tried iOS and Android, wasn't too too impressed with either of them. Still iOS gets bonus point in my opinion because it does music really well, and actually comes with hardware that's compatible with it (all those ports and earphones count). Blackberry looks cool... but I get the feeling it won't be of much use to me if I don't write that many emails. A solid keyboard is nice, but it almost always comes at the cost of screen-real-estate.
@PTNLemay Put it this way...you barely hear android users say that they're addicted to their phones. But if you ask a blackberry user, he'll hardly shut up about how much he loves his phone and can't live without it. Blackberry os is much more reliable. If you want to play, get android..If you're looking to organize your life on a reliable os, get a blackberry. And if you just want to fit in with your friends and over pay for service and apps, get an iphone. I've tried them all. BB for life.
When it comes to a buisness phone nothing bets a blackberry cant agure with people on that point. However for people who wants phones for more then just buisness people will either go with an apple, android or windows phones depending on which os or brand the user likes better.
It does look like a solid workhorse, but... watching any kind of video on a screen that's smaller than 3 inches... sorry, but I really just don't see it.
@mrmn68 Of course women love blackberrys too. Why shouldn't they? It's a unisex device....My wife would not think of leaving the house without her Blackberry.We don't think that we're CEOs, we're just used to have a device that can keep up with our busy lives and getting things done without the distraction of useless and costly apps. That may not mean much to you, but to a blackberry user, he/she has a special connection with his/her Blackberry.
Windows Phone are for losers Symbian are for dorks Palm are for nerds Blackberry are for businessmen Android are for people who want to have fun iPhone are for toddlers
I find it funny when Apple dorks say BB will be bankrupt. I'm sorry but this is still a simple business phone. You see business people aren't like Apple hipster sheep.
@utonium Bing is onboard, it's free and gives you directions. VZ Navigator is supported, it isn't free, but it gives you turn-by-turn voice guidance.

@TheDarkvader13 Yes, one of the this year's Fall BlackBerry phones.
something about this phone that i really like. awesome keyboard, simple, and functional
THANK YOU!!! finally someone else who actually likes their bold 9900, great phone and no need for apps sincei have an ipad with a massive display which beats any iphone or android device.
getting my first BB because of this video!!!
It's a great phone! The phone feels just like the day i bought it, just as fast! Can multitask great and the touchscreen is very responsive.
Hey lisa nice review i have a concern about battery life tell me if it is good enough to last full day with more than a moderate use

Do you like this better than the torch?
is this phone cheaper or more expensive than the blackberry bold 9900? great review btw!
Something that noone ever really talks about, and this might not be a big deal to some people, is the charging cord is so long. It's s convenient if you tavel alot and stay in hotels... sometimes an outlet is really far away from the bed.
im thinking of buying this but im not sure wat the difference is on 9930 and 9900
as always lisa... no one pulls off a REAL review like you do... :)
They are coming out with a qwerty keyboard blackberry 10. It's called Alpha C. It looks just like the Bold 9900.
what is the different between blackberry bold 9900 and 9930?which is better exactly??
@popdroppopful You sir, Are wrong.
9900 has no CDMA Radio and the 9930 has no HSPA+ in the US.
Ohh boy. This feels weird watching the video in September 2024. BB is long gone now. Only Androids and iPhone now.
excellent review as usual
@MobileTechReview what is good about verizon? How does it make the 9900 the 9930? Please reply....
I had to choose between iphone4s, blackberry bold 9900 or htc sensation xe... Now I've made my choice I'm gonna get the BB in white
I have so many problems with my HTC thunderbolt. I HATE it!!!!!!!!!!! I know people at vzw and they could get me this if i were to give up my thunderbolt. Should I or should i wait for a new BB???
@MobileTechReview
so they are the same acsept the radio that only works in the us?
That looks amazing! Only thing that stops me from buying this is that it has small screen :(
when will you review the 10Q?
You can lock this with a security code right?
@MoneyAutomatic Virtual keyboards slow thins down considerably. Blackberry is very relable not to mention more secure
Probably going to get this phone next year when I switch to Verizon!
@aSingleMan08
it dose but it is in the music
or u can download it
How come the 9900 on T-Mobile uses 4g while the Verizon 9930 is only 3G? Not that I cares as the phone is plenty fast on 3g just curious.
can u sstill use the little track button
?
@eiggerris
Is blackberry OS really better than Android? I've never tried it BB.
is it a touch screen or no please answer.
does it support wifi.??
@nickrockz619 Absolutely!
I have an EVO but for some reason this phone caught my eye.... Guess I just want to see blackberry get back on their A game
i cant wait ta luv my bb. its comin n tha mail by monday!! :-)

hey,is this the latest model of BB Bold?
the phone looks great but i wont waist my money in another blackberry until QNX finally arrives
has it no 3G ???
is it a touch screen please reply
thank u =)
u made it simple which really helps =)
Wish it had a front facing camera
The only reason I keep coming back to this phone is that keyboard. Tired of virtual keyboards.

I thought blackberry was stopping the making of phones? O.O
@utonium BlackBerry Maps is free.
Blackberry needs a dedicated RUclips player
probably should wait till BB 10 to release if you really are dying to have a blackberry -_-
Yes.

Can this type of blackberry access WhatsApp call?
+Daniielle.M .G yeah it can just type in whats app mesenger on blackberry world. it should come up if not u can download it off the internet
+josef southcombe I was wondering if the call feature works
+Daniielle.M .G no it cant u can only send voice notes and do all the other stuff but it can't voice call
+josef southcombe aww that sucks Thanks anyways
@laustin92 it does ...
@SuggaBloopers there the exact same phones.

This did not age well at all.
When it comes to a buisness phone nothing bets a blackberry cant agure with people on that point. However for people who wants phones for more then just buisness people will either go with an apple, android or windows phones depending on which os or brand the user likes better.
It does look like a solid workhorse, but... watching any kind of video on a screen that's smaller than 3 inches... sorry, but I really just don't see it.
yes
@MobileTechReview The Blackberry is like a iphone with a keyboard
Not really but yeah
More like a blackberry with a touchscreen.
@mrmn68 Of course women love blackberrys too. Why shouldn't they? It's a unisex device....My wife would not think of leaving the house without her Blackberry.We don't think that we're CEOs, we're just used to have a device that can keep up with our busy lives and getting things done without the distraction of useless and costly apps.

yup
"This is not a small phone"

@aSingleMan08 give it 6 months and no new phone will because of adobe
bahaha low memory like the users
Windows Phone are for losers
Symbian are for dorks
Palm are for nerds
Blackberry are for businessmen
Android are for people who want to have fun
iPhone are for toddlers
I find it funny when Apple dorks say BB will be bankrupt. I'm sorry but this is still a simple business phone. You see business people aren't like Apple hipster sheep.
You should give away something go me:D pleasse?
pedrokineto18 :D no.
