am hoping to see ATT release soon. :)

First comment woop woop looks good bold 9900 one 4 me in uk

Great review Bla1ze!

As much as it might look like the 9800, it seems to run a LOT better as if it's a whole new device. This is how the 9800 should have launched. I'm sure a lot of Torch slider owners will love upgrading to this.

woohoo! Pretty sure I'll be getting the 9810 over the 9900, but I'll reserve that decision for some "hands on" time. Just gonna hold out a little bit longer to see if either one develops any issues or bugs. (not saying they will, but I'd rather let someone else deal with the bugs rather then me!)

Good one Blaze!

This is the best of the bunch imho.

How come both this and the Bold 9900 have ~190MB Application memory on a fresh install whereas my Torch 9800 has 227MB with apps installed? Is it just that BlackBerry 7 takes up more space?

Nuff said.

im rushing right now to buy it !

I just got my new BB Torch 2 from bell ! this device is amazingly fast and i could say a better felling in the hands.

That random piece of paper looks awesome!

Sooooo unfair Sprint customers can't have this....

Quick question, when I had the 9800, the lock button was so sensitive, how is this one, firmed up?

Man, that silver back is FUGLY!! Will definitely exchange the back for my existing black Torch back..... As for the video, it sure is fast - love it!! Application storage is small relative to my existing Torch...191MB on the new one vs. approx. 270MB on my 9800 - must be due to the new OS operating system taking up more space. C'mon ATT - get this baby in!!!

While I'll wait until I get one of these devices before I judge whether it's actually good or bad, so far I don't like all the buttons (end call particularly) being silver instead of green and red on either side...

At least they upped the resolution from the 9800, which was pretty pathetic, TBH. It had the same resolution as the 8900, but with a screen twice the size (i.e. half the definition).

Nice device, though. Only the 9900s keyboard keeps me from considering the 9810.

the box contents seems a lot more thrown together than the bold. either way... nice unboxing vid!

That sir is a heavy paper weight. Boo for ATT to release this junk first.

holy funalicious thats one helluva thick and massive watch band! As for the review - you could avoid the whole physical aspect since its the exact SAME as the Torch...just focus on the new 7OS.

Good job on a decent review otherwise Mr Blaze...

I guess that puts to rest the rumors about the 9810 having a backlit trackpad.

Not the best review I've seen..... Hope theirs more to come soon!...BTW no NFC?

I don't see how much difference their is between that phone and the 9800. Lost interest in it. Or maybe it's the review. Not at all interesting. There should have been a sim car in so we could see the other features. I would love to see the icons, the GUI, anything else about BB7. #TeamBlackberry

People this isn't a review video -- it's a unboxing video. He'll do the proper review video soon.

Thanks Bla1ze for the Unboxing :)
I just did mine 30 min ago, and i have a feeling this device will ROCK when all that updates come out !

Anybody notice in the sim card tutorial video that the phone had a black back instead of the silver back. Must have been an afterthought.

Thanks for the unboxing video!

Good job!..Just wish it was exclusive to the evil ATT....the dark side of the net.

Is it just me or is the 9800 sexier? still excited to get this. i wonder if there is an option for an os6 theme? these BB7 icons are CHEESE. and no mirco SD mem cards in the boxes anymore? shame, RIM! #cheapbastards

Has anybody handled the 9810 yet? I am curious if the bezel near the keyboard still creaks (as it did on all 3 of my 9800's) which was real disappointed and quite the hardware issue. I hope this one has a more solid feel. I will likely not take my chances and get a 9900, the steel frame looks solid to me.

Well, this was a great way to start my day!!! Loved the video......loved the fact that I can use my old battery door. Not too keen on the new silvery battery door.
Only question is whether I'll have the willpower to wait for the white one or whether I'll just jump on this one. Has anyone heard about the white one being released at the same time? Prob not......sadness.....

Please I need help! I'm in Ghana, on the Airtel cellular service and I recently lost my week-old blackberry bold 9780. I still have its pin though, is there a way i can use it to find my phone? :(

TAKE THE STICKER OFF OF IT!
That is all. =)

That bedazzled battery door is frakkin' fugly!

The keyboard is supposed to have been improved and before I decide between a 9900 and a 9810, I'd like to know if it's equivalent to what is found on a 9780 (which is not great, but usable).

Nice review, device looks promising, i'm torn between this and the 9900. (currently on a 9780)

random question, what kind of watch do you have on in the video?

The 9800 Supports HTML 5 Video too. I tried it and it works Amazing !

Yes... that's also all i want to know, what kind of watch is that?!

Random piece of paper lol, its actually the round clear sticker that is supposed to seal the box....looks like someone fell asleep and didnt seal any of the boxes...just got my new 9810 friday night and it wasn't sealed with the clear sticker seal either
