I really couldn't find this answered anywhere...

Does the 9810 have NFC?

I believe the 9900 is the only one with NFC at this time.. I could be wrong though

Hi Drew,

Douglas from RIM here. Just to clarify, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930 are the first and only BlackBerry smartphones to deliver NFC technology at this time.

To learn more about what each of the new BlackBerry 7 smartphones has to offer, stop by our Inside BlackBerry Blog for the latest: http://bbry.lv/cWR2rg.

Cheers,

Douglas, RIM Social Media Team

How I wish Sprint would get this phone. I love the slide out keyboard. Best of both worlds. Large screen and physical keyboard. One thing I do miss about my Pre, is the larger screen. I love my 9650 and can't wait for the 9930, but to have the 9810 would be incredible. I need a physical keyboard. Here is to wishing.

That bedazzled battery door is totally dreadful.....

This is what the original torch should have been. I had the original and just didn't like how slow it got and the problems I had with it. This looks to be much better. Especially the processor.

I was hoping for a CDMA Torch slider. There's always next year I guess... lol

I am trying to decide between this and the 9900. Is there any issue with hitting the keys on the top of the keyboard? I heard that the hitting the top keys on the 9800 can be a pain. Looking for some user experience to help in the decision between the two devices.

Thanks for any comments.

I've had the 9800 since US release. No issue at all with the top row - using it is really no different than any other row. Keyboard overall is a little cramped in comparison to a Bold or Curve, but it's a tradeoff I accept to get both a full screen and physical keyboard.

FYI, reviews of the T2 claim the keyboard has a better feel than the 9800.

5 megapixel camera? Yuck.

the mp count doesn't determine the quality of the photos...

 
 
Posted by birdman_36 Wednesday, Aug 03, 2011 294 days ago

No, but it helps. And 8 mp is the standard on high quality phones these days.

yeah they should've improved on the camera. not a fan of the color choice, they shouldve thinned the phone some more and made A all black one and an all white one.
