Aside from being 1st! :)

I'm not a big fan of the separate button keys. But that's only my opinion.

Grain of salt.

Otherwise, Nice.

Kind of getting used to the raised buttons

Kind of getting used to the raised buttons

OMG, they really put the ugly buttons on it!!!

How come they get pictures of this phone but the QNX Colt has no pictures yet??? ANXIOUS!

Am I the first to notice it has the same JM1 1230 mAh battery like the 99xx series ?

Do I see an NFC antennae under that battery door ?

The more i look at it, the more the design catches me. If i can say it this way. It looks, like the buttons were a must because of the display shield, which gets up from the top (looks curved there...nice!) until down to the keyboard. As this thing should get a touch device, i think, this is a nice way of implementing it and therefore the keys must have been separated and raised up from the surface. Ok, the buttons look a bit oldshool, but thats ok.

As i said, the more moments i look at it, the more i want to get it. I think it is a well choice, if you are used to the form factor of 9700 or 9780 and cant get used to the size of the 9900.

Don't like the new buttons, really happy the Bold 9900 was announced for AT&T finally!

it is not new information:
JM1 and that it has NFC is known about the device.
When I ordered my extra battery charger bundle ( JM 1 for bold 9900 it said in the package that is works with the 9790).

phone is dope

Wow, gaudy buttons and a plastic screen. I'm now convinced RIM couldn't find their ass with both hands.

Does anyone know if there's going to be a CDMA version of this for Verizon users????

Nice!

Is it just me, or does the keyboard of this 9790 really look like the (excellent) one of the 9900??

Pretty much looks like the torch9850 and bold 9930 had a lovechild haha

is this thinner then the current 9780?

more like a curve with the "bold keyboard"

I like the style of it but those raised buttons I am not a fan of and don't look as nice and elegant as the bold 9900.. I am still waiting for white 9900 to come out so I can buy one

I will buy it

Unless it runs BBX, I honestly don't care. I'm quite happy with the Bold 9900, unless it doesn't fit well in your pocket I don't see why you'd want a smaller version with a smaller display and keyboard. Just my two cents, you may have a completely different opinion.

rim doesn't get the meaning of don't fix if it aint broken.those physical buttons already ruined the sexiness of the device.that plasticy design only works for android-and thats not a compliment for them either.

Buttons ? Are you serious ? Ok so now the "new" Bold is current for the 1980's sweet...............

I am all up for the new changes to the buttons. They look great I sent my bold 9900 for a curve 9360 due to the size. One thing I couldn't stand was the menu bar style on the 9900 which is the same as the torch cheep and flimsy. The build quality between the 9900 screen and menu part also sucks big time uneven. This will be my next blackberry :-)

I kinda like it actually. Will have to try it before deciding just like everyone else should...But I'm not sure I see the wisdom in releasing another new Bold when the 9900 is already awesome.

So what is it that makes this phone interesting? Is it on par with the 9900?... or an affordable compromise? (I guess I'm asking, "do we know the specs yet?")

Did anyone see a side view of this phone? I was wondering where the charging contacts were on it. I have a charging holster for my 9780 and it would be great if it was compatible with the 9790.

I don't know what I think about the buttons have to see it when its done .. but I am planning to get one 9790

Will we get our left convenience key back? How about the left and right buttons at the top? Really liked these on the 9700. 9900 lost all of this.

The keyboard is quite straight compared to the curved keyboards of the past. Would it affect typing comfort, requiring to sort of have to bend the thumbs low as you get to the letters close to the edges?

Still ugly and looks cheap and should not be called a bold at all.

phones dope

im a huge because im fat AND really like buttons fan of gawdy jewels and gold chains

and i love these buttons, this phone is perfect

stoked on buttons

Not fan of the curved screen and keyboard so I will giving this one a miss. much prefer the 'straight forward' design of the 9900.

Looking forward to this one. I like the size, the fact that it'll have the 5mp camera with auto-focus and the menu buttons dont bother me at all. Fingers crossed for an AT&T release ... soonish.

:D

not a fan of the buttons, but I must admit it is a handsome device.....

oh sweet jesus, thats hideous

Why would anyone want that POJ when you could have a 9900/9930,,???

Why would RIM even waste time with that when 2.0 isn't out and the PB is swirling around the RIM of the toilet,,???

Does anyone at RIM have "Priorities" or "Foresight",,???

"Hi mister salesman, I'm cheap and I have six kids to feed but I don't want to feel out of place when I'm trying to keep up with all my 3 Series friends at work, do you have a Bold that is cheap and made of snap together plastic with buttons from an original Nintendo?"

WTH,,???

Its quite difficult to understand why they have to do such thing that could create distractions of the Bold brand (9900 is already doing right isn't it?) and take the resources away from the developemnt of other more meaningful thing...

After seeing this I'm considering buying the 9900. Not sure why RIM uses those buttons to make a cheap look like this.

One Bold was enough. Why does RIM insist on these meaningless releases? Stick to one QWERTY and one touch phone at a time. That may free up your resources to get your OS up to par. Better yet, get us those Playbook updates you promised us months ago. A Porsche phone, the hideous Justin Bieber clam phone? Is RIM serious? How many of those did they really sell. You can't make a phone for each and every person RIM. It is time to re-evaluate the strategy.

the buttons look great, shame with such a similar form factor fo the 97XX they could have kept the charging contacts and allowed the current docks to work with it.

meh...those buttons. Every time I see them I end up typing like 4 paragraphs as to why they are useless, and absolutely atrocious to look at, then I realize it doesn't matter, RIM doesn't care, and why should I, when I have a Bold 9930?!

Where the new Blackberry to replace the 8350i on the Sprint Direct Connect side, is this it?

I don't mind the idea of the buttons. I think they would be more responsive.

That being said I think they could have done a slightly better design. I dont know what that would be but there must have been something. Oh well..

hope this comes to AT&T in my lifetime

Wow! Looks Amazing....9790 Bold much better than you know!

I am very curious about the coming 9790. And how it will look live in my hands! :-)
