absolutely love this phone! have had it for a year now, and cannot complain about it whatsoever. everyone has problems with their blackberries, mine is still working great like when i got it!! :D
Got this phone a few days ago. The battery is pretty good and its a very well made phone and easy to use. It's also really easy to get used to the keyboard. Excellent phone.
you turn it around million times but never show the top of the phone, is there music buttons like it was on curve 8520? I am planning to buy this phone so it be good to know this.
Your voice was a little blurry and rushed in some places but apart from that a very nice video. Thanks for helping me pursuade me and my mom to buy the bold 9780.
i just got a blackberry bold 3-9780 . i wanted to know the strip betow the keypad .. BELOW SPACE bar .. is that a little loose ? or is it just my handset . if u hold it in your hand and press your thumb on it . does it feel a little loose ?
@locknkey022 you should wait for the new touch blackberry to come out which is basically a combination of this and the torch ... then decide which one you want go on blackberry's website to see
I use the BlackBerry Bold 9780 for work and the I-Phone 3gs for home use, I find the BBB better for sending emails and texts among other features.. I would also recommend ghost armor for protection, I used Otterbox defender for my BlackBerry Tour and IPhone while its great it makes the phone bulky while Ghost Armor doesn't..
got this phone for free at costco the other day. best phone i've ever had and with the otterbox defender case, it's just as tough as a mike network work phone.
These BlackBerry Bold 9780 phones beat everything going on the market today hands down!I`ve tried just about every type of flippin phone going inc all the useless touch screens and was told to try a blackberry !Soon as i looked at the keyboard i thought like everybody probably HOW ARE MY FINGERS GOING TO COPE WITH THEM KEYS ? and to my amazement i adapted to blackberry in a few days and soon found them to be just perfect !From a great battery,signal,instant emails and much more !5+++++ perfect!
Cool! I just wish BB had more in apps like instagram..etc..but you really dont need all that anyway. If you have any issues with the 9780 let me know, Mines been great for almost a year but when it starts lagging from time to time. just reboot it and itll be snappy again. Also something about BB that most ppl dont know is that you can get a lower data plan because they are such data sippers. Saves a little more money each month. You made a good choice. 9780 is older but timeless.
I love my HTC Sensation but this 9780 is best all around phone Ive ever owned. Compact, simple, good looking, solid build yet light, long battery life, loud speaker. perfect. Its not for everyone but if everyone's gramma these days has a giant touchscreen phone you gotta be different. This is one of the few phones RIM got right. Along with 9000/30, 9790 (which most Americans dont know about,I want it) I wonder if RIM will survive.
@JMMoosey Hi, umm when you say that the touch screen is acting up what do you mean? Cause ive got a torch as well , had it for around 2 months and worried that its going to start lagging sooner or later :|
@CarmeN964life Forget the wifi am saying if am outside traveling around? I understand if am at home i could use the wifi hot spot but what if am outside
You understand. I've had all the high end phones T-Mobile has had to offer this year. HTC Amaze, S II, Sensation, HTC Ones S, Lumia 710...They were all too much! Just ordered the Bold 9780 off Ebay because I miss all the simplicity it brought. I felt like nobody understood that.
Most people are of the opinion that BB lacks the apps. Should people, who want to be engaged with their phone, go for androids ? Androids are cheaper, have better facilities, too. This device also misses a front facing camera for video calls. Android has apps for almost everything. Please suggest.
@jph6696 You do have a point about the quality ... but I'm not sure if its just Blackberry being cheap or it is intentional - but maybe plastic does not block out the signal so much? so thats why Blackberry has such a great reception, I'm not sure. I kind of wished they would up the material for BB's, as long as it works the way I need it to ... also I buy Blackberries for BIS and BES and the push email technology (that doesnt eat up your data to consistently check for new emails)
@manfromguntown as most say, it's a matter of preference. Here are some factors why the Bold 9780 might work better for you... the whole typing experience is not optimal as the Bold, especially with the keyboard being recessed and also when you slide out the keyboard, the weight on the top of the phone becomes heavier thus having to balance the phone in a weirder way. If you really dont have an issue with that, and love the touch feature, then get the Torch.
Looks good to be sure, but battery life isn't meant to be as good as 9780. Plus I'm still no touch screen convert and only really need the physical keypad, which I love.
PLEASE HELP, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, if its possible to put caller id on private! please..AND IS IT POSSIBLE...to put a password on txt message folder and picture folder, i know its possile to put an overall pass but i would like to put on the other apss..PLEASE HELP ARE THOSE OPTIONS POSSIBLE?!?!
The nostalgia hits too hard with this one...
I hope i can still find and buy one in this time
This is probs the best review I've seen across RUclips. Thanks a lot mate.
I love this phone...the screen is so clear n crisp
Getting this phone soon!
This is an awesome review, all the stuff I need to know are here.
It's a great phone, still superior to anything blackberry sells today in 2014, and is hands-down more user-friendly than all other smartphones.
The best phone i've ever had .. Amazing battery life, outstanding camera..
Hii I'm from future..
@@yonko4787 😆
thank you for the great review. well thought out and executed! can you tether with this?
This mobile phone is front camera available tell me bro

Got this phone a few days ago. The battery is pretty good and its a very well made phone and easy to use. It's also really easy to get used to the keyboard. Excellent phone.

I have this phone, it's very worth getting. Absolutely amazing messaging system and the battery lasts forever. Great review and great phone.
is the track pad good? Like will it wear out?
you turn it around million times but never show the top of the phone, is there music buttons like it was on curve 8520? I am planning to buy this phone so it be good to know this.
Miroslav Černín no there are not media buttona
Miroslav Černín buttons
This is what a phone review should be.
Gonna order this now but can't decide wheter to get black or white :/
Your voice was a little blurry and rushed in some places but apart from that a very nice video. Thanks for helping me pursuade me and my mom to buy the bold 9780.
How long will I have to charge my new Blackberry Bold 9780 for the first time? 2 Hours?
you have a fantastic music tast! :D also great review :)
Does the track pad not CLICK! anymore when you move through icons?
I still have two units, still the best sounding mp3 player, hooked up to Sennheisers or Beyerdynamics..
Should I get the Torch or the Bold 9780? I have the new iPod Touch
I have Blackberry Curve or might be Bold 8000 but when I open it, it started to never responds!
getting this on February... Am I too late?
Should I buy this one, or the iPhone 4?
Is the battery life on the 9780 better than the 9900 bold or the new curve??:)
i don't know wich i should get the torch 9800 or the bold 9780
should i get this on a 3 year contract, is that worth it?
I'm thinkin of purchasing bold 9780 this april. Am i too late? :(
@machitect why though? i have no idea how to pick between the 2 ... what makes the 9780 better?
Is there a big difference between this and torch exept that it's a touch and it's a slide phone
im too used to my torch so downgrading to a bold on os6 will be somewhat of a pain
what do u think is better torch 9800 or bold 9780
Getting the 9780 tomorrow cant wait :)
should i get this or the torch?
how come the D/5 keyboard button has a little dot and the others dont?
Does it have flash debating whether to get it
i just got a blackberry bold 3-9780 . i wanted to know the strip betow the keypad .. BELOW SPACE bar .. is that a little loose ? or is it just my handset . if u hold it in your hand and press your thumb on it .
does it feel a little loose ?
@locknkey022
you should wait for the new touch blackberry to come out which is basically a combination of this and the torch ... then decide which one you want
go on blackberry's website to see
The bold 9780 comes with os6 and 3g to?!?!
9780 is the best phone ever in my opinion after many bb, iphone and android phones.
@hellyehboy Yeah, I'm planning to go for Google Nexus S.
What do you think about it ?
I can't decide on either to stick with my G2 or go with the bold 9780 :/ love both platforms and phones just hard to choose.
I use the BlackBerry Bold 9780 for work and the I-Phone 3gs for home use, I find the BBB better for sending emails and texts among other features..
I would also recommend ghost armor for protection, I used Otterbox defender for my BlackBerry Tour and IPhone while its great it makes the phone bulky while Ghost Armor doesn't..
Does the battery life better than 9900?
hi can you tell me how to change the themes in bold 9780 i cant seems to change it. thanks.
should i get this or the torch?
please answer :)
do this fone hav good quality .. lik wit i go to youtube or something wud this play smoothly
@hellyehboy any personal hard feelings for that phone ?
Should I get this or htc desire??
got this phone for free at costco the other day. best phone i've ever had and with the otterbox defender case, it's just as tough as a mike network work phone.
How's the battery life?
could I use bbm with a prepaid phone with data?
@TheRichGuyz All the Bolds from the 9000 to the latest one is 3G, but the 9900 has HPSA+ and 4G capabilities.
I have this in 2015... It's still better than the newer blackberries in my opinion, like the Q10.
Why do you still use a blackberry 😂
These BlackBerry Bold 9780 phones beat everything going on the market today hands down!I`ve tried just about every type of flippin phone going inc all the useless touch screens and was told to try a blackberry !Soon as i looked at the keyboard i thought like everybody probably HOW ARE MY FINGERS GOING TO COPE WITH THEM KEYS ? and to my amazement i adapted to blackberry in a few days and soon found them to be just perfect !From a great battery,signal,instant emails and much more !5+++++ perfect!

Do you need a data plan to use BBM? please reply
I love my HTC Sensation but this 9780 is best all around phone Ive ever owned. Compact, simple, good looking, solid build yet light, long battery life, loud speaker. perfect.

Perfect in 2022?😅
Is it worth the extra $150 dollars to buy a 9780 instead of a 9700?
@badboymino Where have you been? Blackberry has two touchscreen phones and has another coming out this spring.
is it a dual or single sim phone ????
Very professional review i would absolutely recommend this phone to anyone, however ill stick to my bold 9700..
@JMMoosey Hi, umm when you say that the touch screen is acting up what do you mean? Cause ive got a torch as well , had it for around 2 months and worried that its going to start lagging sooner or later :|
BB 9780 OR NOKIA N8? PLEASE REPLY ASAP
@sidekick257: it comes with certain phones I don't think u can get it on other phones that didn't have it eg-bb bold 9700

@CarmeN964life Forget the wifi am saying if am outside traveling around? I understand if am at home i could use the wifi hot spot but what if am outside

how do u get the new os?
Can you get apps on this??
can i use apps like whatsapp with this phone ?
Most people are of the opinion that BB lacks the apps. Should people, who want to be engaged with their phone, go for androids ?
Androids are cheaper, have better facilities, too. This device also misses a front facing camera for video calls.
Android has apps for almost everything.
Please suggest.

I wanna get this phone. It seems really awesome.
Does this phone have thread messaging?
