This guy obviously doesnt know much about BlackBerry

You're right. So does the 9000, 8900, etc.

I like how Techno Buffalo named the video The BlackBerry Bold 9780 Tour. I know it means tour as in walkthrough, but I had a good laugh due to the 9650 issue.

But my wife will likely get it first as her upgrade date is before mine (next year). Still, I am perfectly happy with my 9700 for now. Glad they haven't messed with the formula too much.

I don't see the link to watch the video.

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 609 days ago

it's a vimeo video, not youtube... so no mobile link.  if there is a way to link them mobile let us know and we'll do it up. dont think there is though.

http://vimeo.com/blog:265 not sure if that helps you Kevin. Hope it does though.

"How does it handle the death grip"?!?!!!! This isn't a F-ing Apple product!!! We know you're an Apple fanboy but you don't have to use RIM as a scapegoat.

 
 
Posted by Nesquik Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 609 days ago

but jobs i think was quoted to have said that the death grip applies to all other phones while naming RIM as one of several specific phone brand names... so proven false i guess... as expected =]

480x300 screen? no wifi n and `pusedo wireless charging?`
more like 480x360, wifi g/b/n and the exact same dock points as the 9700 :)

makes me wonder if it will be after this release before 6 comes to 9700

RIM U SUCK ! Still 624 processor come on !

How much F futher r u going to far behind

other phones.

what a bunch of garbage. I can't believe RIM believes their own users will be upgrading like Apple iPhone banshees. They can put out any device that looks similar and performs similar and they think users will just run and upgrade. I see less and less blackberry's nowadays.

 
 
Posted by 67Tucker Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 609 days ago

Remember, RIM buys in bulk. While every other manufactorer apparently buys their processors one at a time. Lol!

Not too jazzed about his review of the browser. He complains that the trackpad isnt very efficient when scrolling....

OF COURSE NOT YOU IDIOT! You're using the tip of your finger. Trackpads were designed for full coverage, specifically a thumb

 
 
Posted by siopow Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 609 days ago

i don't like his review either... death grip? wtf?!?1?!? seriously??????

those two metal things at the bottom? those have been around since the 9000...

 
 
Posted by CASH Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 609 days ago

He's obviously a n00b. Has he even heard of the 9700 that's been out for a year?! :-)

 
 
Posted by Connor83 Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 608 days ago

It looked as he was thrilled to be having the phone. But that if he had never used any blackberry before this or anything.

 
 
Posted by mustangboy88 Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 609 days ago

What!?!?! It comes with Klondike?...it's a must have!

 
 
Posted by Rockdog97 Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 609 days ago

he was more interested in making sure his TechnoBuffalo logo was always centered behind the phone..

wondering if anyone can answer this, but i have now seen two video's of os6 (9650 os6 leak and this one) and others aswell, but i noticed that in the 9650 video the apps did not have the name under the icon and instead had the name flashing on the scrolling bar, whereas this video shows the apps to have the name under the icon.
would anyone know whether this is a option you can toggle with or the os6 build is specific for each phone.
i really like it when the name is below the app.
eagerly waiting for a 9700 leak.

 
 
Posted by infinus Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 609 days ago

remember when BGR shown video of 9700 running OS6,
there was no icon name at bottom, but on title bar at top.

this is might be some make it work build.

 
 
Posted by bbetts123 Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 609 days ago

Crack I agree I prefer the look of the name under the icon. I was disappointed when I updated my 9650 and found out that I couldn't change this in the settings. I am hoping this was because it was a beta and maybe the official release will give us the option on how our icons appear.

 
 
Posted by infinus Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 609 days ago

i am really not impressed with 9780,
same as 9700 with 5MP camera and 512 on board memory....
surely not buying this.
my 9700 is way better to keep my work perfect.

 
 
Posted by Average Joe Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 609 days ago

Im wondering why Sat, June 26th is showing as the date...the date is set by the network (AT&T in this case) and cant be changed..

Whats the deal with THAT?

 
 
Posted by Connor83 Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 608 days ago

Well maybe it's cuz they made the video on the day. Believe it or not. People do make videos then post them later.

 
 
Posted by Average Joe Wednesday, Sep 22, 2010 608 days ago

Ummmm...yeah...thank you, Captain Obvious...my point, since I need to spell it out for you, is if this is a 3 month old video, I wonder what version of OS6 is he running?? And why put out an old video with an older OS build? This video tells me NOTHING as far as what to expect in the actual release, as well as being a pretty lame "tour" of the 9780.

i'll get this phone summer of 2011

 
 
Posted by millyblick Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 608 days ago

only because i have the 9700 of course.

can't wait to move from iphone 3gs to my first BlackBerry!

Always liked the GSM bold over the CDMA bold. The CDMA bold series (9650) is bulky with a slightly smaller keyboard compared to the 9700's sleek style with a wider keyboard. Never quite understood why they didn't just build the 9700 style for both CDMA and GSM carriers like they did with the new curve devices.

 
 
Posted by jkpitcher Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 608 days ago

He didn't like how it renders. Wonder if he was viewing the mobile version? He didn't know just about every BB since i can remember having the metal charging pins. How can we expect him to make sure he is viewing the full web page. Every other BB 6 video has liked the browswer and how it renders full pages. What a idiot and a joke of a review. Get someone who knows something about the phone.

 
 
Posted by justinbond Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 608 days ago

is it just me or does this keyboard look bigger on this phone than the 9700? My most favorite keyboard on a BB was my 8830 World Phone...I am hoping they go back to that bigger style of keys and this to me appears that way?...or is just me?

 
 
Posted by alsawa2 Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 608 days ago

I hate text under icons! The screen isn't that much big!
I hope OS6 leak for 9700 without text under icons!

 
 
Posted by Monicooo Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 608 days ago

vs. this and 9700 with os6. Just A side by side comparison to see the difference.

 
 
Posted by habicht Tuesday, Sep 21, 2010 608 days ago

Its his first time he uses a BlackBerry... Don't like the review... but love the device

 
 
Posted by cvaria Wednesday, Sep 22, 2010 608 days ago

i'm so used to the ease of contacts and data transfer that i had a complete system shock when i switched to the samsung epic. i got rid of the epic and returned to RIM for many reasons... but these sorry @$$ new units are just patheic. what is going on at RIM? why do they continually release these crappy units? do they have a death wish? i love my bb but i could use one from 6 years ago and pretty much get the same features and function. please innovate before it's too late.

 
 
Posted by seanp666 Wednesday, Sep 22, 2010 608 days ago

Why does eveyone do the "death grip" test now? A death grip wasnt needed to make the iphone lose signal....it required one finger in the right spot, thats it. Yeah some phones may lose a little signal if you squeeze the shit out of it but that wasn't the problem.....the problem was you didn't need a "death grip" to make the iphone drop calls.....just one freakin finger.

 
 
Posted by Average Joe Wednesday, Sep 22, 2010 608 days ago

Whoopie. a 3 month old video. The OS6 build he is running is pretty outdated, im sure, which would explain some of the issues he talks about. Hey TechBuffalo guy, hows about a RECENT video with a newer build?
