Looks like Rogers won't be the only Canadian carrier releasing the BlackBerry Bold 9900 in White. Bell is all geared up to release the device just in time for holiday shopping with the date starting on November 24th. As expected, no price point changes are noted in the details. All that's left is the wait time -- who's picking one up? I know Kevin will have one but I'm pretty tempted as well.

im not a hater, but this is a POS phone, by today's standards. Its beautifully built but:
no dual core
old software
no front camera
NOT BBX compatible
sorry :(

Then I suggest you buy an Apple or android product and move off this forum!

To give credit that you're not a hater, you have to understand that us keyboard fans will be left out at first relase of the bbx phones. This is a good point for the Bold touvh to come out because I wasn't about to sport a Blackberry Style for three years and that may be how long it will before we se the ever addored keyboard. You should feel bad for those who purchased the torch all touch. Now that would be something I'd consider a waste if RIM actually sticks with its timeline which was advertised.

I have a S2 and hate it (i guess I am a hater)! I should have never sold my Bold 9000! A also happen to have a PB, so I belong in this forum. But the 9900 runs legacy OS, and is not future-proof. Im a keyboard guy. Give me a 9900 with dual-core, and front camera that will be BBX compativle and I will buy it right away. Whether you are a kb guy or not, one has to recognize that BBOS is dying and that all current BBOS phones will die with it.

Yep..and eventually even the dual-core front-facing camera phones will be a thing of the past. But if it works well and does the job for you for the next while then perhaps it is worth it.

Still hoping for the return of the Red line from Bell. I was disappointed the Torch 2 is only coming in one color... Love my Cranberry! :)

Not a bad looking phone, but I hate the all white. I liked the 9780 in white, because it had the bit of black around it. But the entire phone in white doesn't look as nice to me. I still with the trackpad would be white, even though I have no plans to get it
