I'm kind of pissed there won't be a 2nd convienence key

 
 
Posted by supermanjamil Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

Totally agree. The left key is my messages button. It's instinct my uniform set up for all Blackberries I set up too. Now the camera button will have to be it...

I don't know why they did this... I have to get rid of the camera key and replace with my phonebook because now I my phonebook on the other side.

On the other hand Tray icon system allow us to quickly jump into the media panel and hit camera. Many people here on Crackberry hate the Tray system that came out in OS6, but I love it and I think it save time for me, even though some people find it it takes time to find programs.

Well, at least they added an extra button on the right...

Really more like disappointed. I like the right key for camera and I set the left for contacts.

I miss the Quick Access to QuickLaunch, although I hope this is where the Touch Screen Kicks in so it won't be missed that much.

Why would you want to hit a physical button on the side of the device when you can just touch that icon on a high-res screen?? Step into the 21st century guys, convenience keys are just not necessary anymore other than volume controls or putting the display to sleep. Look at the playbook for example- gestures are the new convenience!

One word.

Vlingo

Just use the keyboard shortcuts.

 
 
Posted by Kiddo2050 Tuesday, May 03, 2011 385 days ago

Right on, people that want convenience keys don't understand that they now have a touch screen. Put whatever you want in the top of the tray and just touch it. One button is needed for the camera, that's it.

Never even think about second CK on my Torch.

 
 
Posted by samgbx Tuesday, May 03, 2011 384 days ago

And I miss my convenience key! I used to use it for screen capture so me having a touchscreen doesn't replace the need for one! I don't understand why they removed it, stupid idea in my opinion.

Posted by tim tunes Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

Posted by Kiddo2050 Tuesday, May 03, 2011 385 days ago

Posted by MCsL4L Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

Yesss!!!! I cant wait!!! Thank you tmobile!!!!

Best. Comment. Ever.

 
 
Posted by jinxednuance Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

I totally feel you!

 
 
Posted by djdazm Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

Stupid question time.

Since the OS6.1/7 icons have no text labels now how will we identify our multiple email inboxes?

/endcuriosity

 
 
Posted by BBThemes Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

in exactly the same way as you do nowadays for non touch os6 devices, highlight that icon and text appears in the slider where all/frequent/media sits

 
 
Posted by jmoney860 Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

This needs to come out now!

 
 
Posted by AbuYazeedUK Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

Stop teasing man lol

 
 
Posted by MissJennell Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

I need this phone! Not just want. It's a definite need!!

 
 
Posted by thecanuckgirl Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

I agree with MissJennell - this is a need!

 
 
Posted by Kelton Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

what will this phone do that a 9650 bold can't do? Is it just a bit faster? Talk to me... it's an honest question. Let me have it.

 
 
Posted by skyboxer Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

Just off the top of my head, it can record HD video. Also will have an augmented reality browser which I havent decided if it will be really useful or just a cool gimmick. There is the NFC thing which I dont see myself using much. And a compass.

Everything else it just does faster, or should at nearly twice the clock speed.

 
 
Posted by SmashBerry Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

better camera, much much faster processor, Newer,faster OS, touch screen, bigger size(in my opinion is better, cant stand the small size of the 9700) PAUSE! Just the faster processor alone means better and faster web browsing and better viewing of videos on youtube and stuff. Hopefully.

 
 
Posted by burkey1973 Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

Don't tell her but I think this phone is sexier than my wife..

 
 
Posted by RulerD Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

My 8900 broke in December i went and bought the first BB I could find at a pawn shop ( an 8530) because there was no way I was going to extend my contract before this phone drops. My contract with TMo is up at the end of May. Whoever gets this first ATT or TMo, I am there!!!

 
 
Posted by jome Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

TMo is getting the 9900, but correct me if I'm wrong - ATT is getting the 9930? I hope so!

 
 
Posted by gordongr Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

from what ive seen the 9900 is gsm for ATT & T-Mobile & the 9930 is cdma for Sprint/Verizon

 
 
Posted by SmashBerry Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

ATT and Tmo will be getting the 9900. Sprint and Verizon will be getting the 9930

 
 
Posted by IndePanda Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

Now this is a BlackBerry you can be proud of. I like it!

 
 
Posted by shlee Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

i must have this machine

 
 
Posted by berrygoodg Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

Will the CDMA version be a world phone? Please tell me it will!!

 
 
Posted by SmashBerry Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

From what I read the 9930(CDMA version) will be the Global Version. So yeah I think your good to go.

 
 
Posted by SmashBerry Monday, May 02, 2011 385 days ago

for the people saying theres no second convenience key. ummm i think i see a 3rd button where the volume rockers are. could that be the other convenience key? Maybe they just simply moved it to the other side. DUH!!!! Either way this device is so sexy. Never thought i'd say that about a phone but it is. The metallic band around the phone is very iphone4-ish but i like it. it gives it a nice clean look. Ive been waiting for this phone for about a year now. I'm THIRST!!!!!

 
 
Posted by isprobi Tuesday, May 03, 2011 385 days ago

This is nice for a traditional form factor BB. But I wish they would bring back the great stereo speakers my Bold 9000 had. I need a loud phone and they seem to be going cheaper and cheaper on the speakers. Also I hope they show a Torch 2 our Storm 3 type device with a larger screen.

 
 
Posted by facegirl Tuesday, May 03, 2011 385 days ago

I presently have th 9700 and I love it, I skipped the Torch.........The Torch didn't catch my attention, but on the other hand, this baby (9900) is fasinating.....I must have one of these......Only disappointment so far is the side convenience key......

If only everyone didn't have a love affair for Apple.

 
 
Posted by jtash Tuesday, May 03, 2011 385 days ago

How about some shots of the 9930 and 9900 with the back and battery removed?

 
 
Posted by mavricxx Tuesday, May 03, 2011 385 days ago

Please bring the BB Touch to T-Mo with compatability on all bands for AT&T and T-Mo!

 
 
Posted by Bahrutile Tuesday, May 03, 2011 385 days ago

My Bold 9000 is on its last leg, death rattle even, i hope i can coast till this phone comes out...

 
 
Posted by Kiddo2050 Tuesday, May 03, 2011 385 days ago

Who makes this? I mean what company in China or Taiwan or wherever makes this? They've done an excellent job.

 
 
Posted by Kiddo2050 Tuesday, May 03, 2011 385 days ago

Doesn anyone know how we can remove the AT&T labeling that is going to go on the bottom of th phone? Seriously hate those phone companies from ruining the look of the product. I don't think AT&T labels the iPhone, I wish other producers would man up and tell them to F-off. This is the one good thing that comes from S. blow Jobs being a prick.

First leaks on this phone were in 2009, and after this conference we STILL won't have release dates and pricing?!? C'mon RIM.

 
 
Posted by itstrentmichael Wednesday, May 04, 2011 383 days ago

I can't wait till this comes to AT&T.
