I strongly recommend you to get the Blackberry. The maps on iPhone 5 are really messed up and its the same exact thing as the 4S with only LTE and a bigger screen.
I'm getting this at the end of this month, and i am so excited. I got the chance to try it at a T mobile store and this thing is fast compared to my Bold 9700.
@ShadowE42 An iPhone is $199.99 - $299.99 (depending on capacity) on contract when it comes out, and it stays that way. It's doesn't cost more when it comes out. You're thinking of the original iPhone, which was extremely expensive when it came out. Unlocked, it costs $649 - $749. Bold 9900 is $819.99 unlocked.
this phone is sick. take note, it hasnt got a front facing camera yet and hasnt got a large screen. BUT this phone is AMAZING! it's got the power to get blackberry back in the race! BB made it! this phone just proved that not everything is about the large screen because this phone's got the ICONIC design whch shows really different and not COMMON rectangle large screen and yet it's got the power in it!
i just wounder that does steve jobs uses apple or blackberry, its a dumb question but its worth asking, and the keyboard looks nice to use i guess by looking at it, but the browser seems to be very slow by looking at the review, so did you find the browser fast afterwards or is it still slow???
the storm might not but the torch is because it still has that qwerty keyboard that makes a blackberry and actual blackberry. on the other hand though, the storm doesnt.
@DeepFriedFuzzball Im not a heavy buisness guy so should i get the blackberry curve 9360, or spend that extra bucks to get blackberry 9900. ( in tmobile blackberry curve is 70 and bold is 300 -.-
I feel sorry for the people in the US/Canada here in England this blackberry is free on a 24 month contract.... Canadians know how to make the best business phones... I LOVE IT !!!
i hv iphone 4s but i just like it for games i want a phone to txt and call good i like this one alot its cool what sould i do get this or samsung galaxys 3
Man Noah you still have difficulty with phone doors, one of these days you're going to find a phone with a battery door even you can open on the first try. And on that day, that will phone will receive a 10 rating
This would be cool but a lot of key features I would want are missing full 1080p capture and playback at least 1ghz dual core processor etc etc it's a bit disappointing
I would pick 9900 coz when u see someone use iphone then u want a touch screen and the 9900 is really awesome im getting it tonight !!!!! it loads so fast ! u should try out the demo and think which ya want the most
If the phone had a 3 inch HD LCD screen with a dualcore 1.2 Ghz processor, 4G, autofocus camera, 1080p recording, a 8MP camera, and atleast 1gig of app storage and a 1650Mah battery then I would deff spend $300 dollars.
uhm you're not suppose to have the battery inside... what i mean. when you first get it, the battery was suppose to be in a plastic in the box and your suppose to put it in yourself.
people really overreact to this. In most european countries, if you want a decent phone like an iphone or an htc or a blackberry you're gonna pay at leat 400 Euros. The iphone has been out for ages and it still costs 590 euros. The 16 GB one.
why is this one more expensive than sprint and verizon not to mention the iphone? does it have wings? and if so how high can it fly? does it require fuel or is it a magical flying phone? come on that price tag is ridiculous
Wouldn't talk about spelling on the internet, But if thats what you like doing is correcting people on the web. GOOD for you hope you go far in life :D
$300 DOLLARS? For a Blackberry nowadays? They've might would've pulled that off in 2007. I know its a business phone with the one of the best physical keyboards ever, but not worth $300.
My Blackberry is nice and it has been a great phone but there is no way I would buy one for $300 unless I was that serious about taking it for intense mobile email. But I'm sure that is why RIM made this phone.
@SuperQuantumMechanic troll? lol i'm just putting what my experience was when I used android phones and why I now use an iphone. I simply use what I use because it works for me and does exactly what I want it to do for me. and yes I use only mac computers, have an ipad 2 (which isnt really useful, admitted, but is just cool to have I guess) and voice my opinion on other os's. i'm not saying that android or blackberrys are the worst since thats what works for other people
10 years later..... i'm back to watching this again
brings back old memories
And I'll join you 9 months later
I still don't know if I should go with the Blackberry Bold 9900 or with the iPhone 4s /5
What do you think ?

'i dont know if can live without the front facing camera im used to. not for video chatting, but just for looking at myself all day!' lol!
Hi there! I'm getting the same model next week and I was wondering if the Blackberry Bold 9900 have a "SIM" card? :)
Blackberry always had an all-around good phone, very practical but definitely needs a front camera to complete the package.
is the keyboard soft like the last bold or more hard like the curve 8530?

Didn't Jon already do an unboxing and review of this phone?
Do you really have to set the time on first boot these days? I thought we were over that.
First you said it would be available on October 31st, then you said it would be expected to come out on August 31st...? -.-
normally once a blackberry hits critical battery levels it turns of radios, that might be the reason for the slow load time
if its out in 31 august then how did you unbox and show it to us in aug 23 ?
this phone is sick. take note, it hasnt got a front facing camera yet and hasnt got a large screen. BUT this phone is AMAZING! it's got the power to get blackberry back in the race!

@englishtwist like i have a quick question with no argument intended , but if so why is the iphone 300 ?
does they keyboard and track pad light up???
Which is better the troch or the 9900??????
Noah! You better keep doing video reviews 'cause yo are the best man!
@DeepFriedFuzzball Im not a heavy buisness guy so should i get the blackberry curve 9360, or spend that extra bucks to get blackberry 9900. ( in tmobile blackberry curve is 70 and bold is 300 -.-
Were you functioning properly this day, Noah?
Noah, as always it's a pleasure watching your reviews! :)
I feel sorry for the people in the US/Canada here in England this blackberry is free on a 24 month contract.... Canadians know how to make the best business phones... I LOVE IT !!!
does anyone know if tmobile is selling screen protectors that will still make the touch screen work?
i hv iphone 4s but i just like it for games i want a phone to txt and call good i like this one alot its cool what sould i do get this or samsung galaxys 3
Man Noah you still have difficulty with phone doors, one of these days you're going to find a phone with a battery door even you can open on the first try. And on that day, that will phone will receive a 10 rating

@eiggerris what is chapter 7 and 13?? and what will happen if u switch to t-mobile now because att bought them soo what will happen??
I for some reason really want to hear a remix of noah saying THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS.
whens it coming out for att??
5.9 Earthquake in Virginia felt here in New York City and $300 dollar Blackberry, what is the world coming to???
I would pick 9900 coz when u see someone use iphone then u want a touch screen and the 9900 is really awesome im getting it tonight !!!!! it loads so fast ! u should try out the demo and think which ya want the most
is there going to be a att verison?????
@5:08 Noah said it's a dual core. The sad part is, that it isn't. Thumbs up if you booked that :D
If the phone had a 3 inch HD LCD screen with a dualcore 1.2 Ghz processor, 4G, autofocus camera, 1080p recording, a 8MP camera, and atleast 1gig of app storage and a 1650Mah battery then I would deff spend $300 dollars.
When is this coming out for AT&T!??!?!?!?!
RIM need to give the Bold a completely new design - it still looks the same every year.
it's already out in canada...
what's the difference between 9900 and 9930 ?
Pahaha the little song at 7:28 was hilarious :D
Anyone realize at first he said "October 31st?" lol
They should move those buttons to the bottom and make the screen bigger.
uhm you're not suppose to have the battery inside... what i mean. when you first get it, the battery was suppose to be in a plastic in the box and your suppose to put it in yourself.
i want a blackberry and i want to know what blackberry to get
LOL he tried to open it touching on the Lock button! LOL

whats that flash on the top?
I MISSED YOU NOAH!!!

When i put my battery in in has a picture of a battery and a red cross please can someone help me!!!
why is this one more expensive than sprint and verizon not to mention the iphone? does it have wings? and if so how high can it fly? does it require fuel or is it a magical flying phone? come on that price tag is ridiculous

Yay for talking about Aaron in your video....
Looks pretty good but the booting is (as usual on a BB) way to long. And browsing sucks...
they get things before the release date.
RIM has lost their damn minds thinking they can charge $300 for a phone on contract -_-
haha i watched this with the google transcribe subtitles and at the end it said 'the bald man'
BEST MOMENT WHEN YOU"RE version of this video has more views! :D
Here in Canada its already out.
The bb9790 does not have a front facing camera
what kind of juice?
dual-core?
oh no that wasn't the battery, that was the cleaning cloth =]
Honestly, The phone looks GREAT and all... BUT, i don't really think the Touch screen part was a good idea. It looks as if it doesn't go with it.
@N3utac yup tmobile is GSM which means it has a sim
best blackberry yet , but am dissapointed that camera doesnot have autofocus :S
Watching it in 2020 bruhh cuz luv Blackberry🤩
the $300 cost is a T-Mobile thing NOT a RIM thing.... cant fault RIM for the after contract price of this device. Thats 100% carrier decision.
@Akim19921 I heard, it's october 20th for AT&T. but I';ve also heard that it'll be released towards the end of november /:
$300 DOLLARS? For a Blackberry nowadays? They've might would've pulled that off in 2007. I know its a business phone with the one of the best physical keyboards ever, but not worth $300.
My Blackberry is nice and it has been a great phone but there is no way I would buy one for $300 unless I was that serious about taking it for intense mobile email. But I'm sure that is why RIM made this phone.
what now USA, Canada's already got it
I'm glad Noah is back at reviewing phones, Jon doesn't know Noah's Greatness :)
its called a review unit. the company sends them one to review, and then send back, before the release date. It's their job. Literally. lol
nintendo 3ds @ 7:32 FTW! I own a cosmo black yeah :D..and of course owning this phone once out at our local telecom store.
i love it when people laugh at their own jokes
Lol they made 2 unboxings of the Bold, 1 Canadian (Rogers) and 1 American(T-Mobile) :P
blackberry's sexiest phone, EVER :)
Thumbs up if you agree!
where is the media card ?
but....will it blend??!!
@tdwplover22 actually thats a standar frase for previews of fonts because it uses all the letters in the alphabet!
Onlyyyy 300, this is 719 dollars in our country :/
lol I traded my unlocked 9000 att BB for this phone, I immediately went back to my iphone 4 after using this one for maybe 10 minutes
blackberry 9900 is the best one out of the lot cos its got a touch screen and its way bigger
jokes on u. there is no front facing camera lol.
Why did Noah leave Phone DOG >.>>>
Ha ha, it's only $169 on contract here in Canada.
seriously? really? .... fine.... ITS OVER 9000!!!
Today is July 9th 2012, i have a Storm 2 9550 and still cant buy that beutiful phone... its to pricey... :(
@tdwplover22 Nope, Noah used it originally. Noah used to work for Phonedog...
@SuperQuantumMechanic troll? lol i'm just putting what my experience was when I used android phones and why I now use an iphone.

hmmm, convinced someone to use the Bold for a month? sounds like Aaron Baker to me..

@DeepFriedFuzzball why? its a blackberry
Blackberry reminds of work.
