  • Hi, does it support MS Exchange server? 10x in advance

  • I just recently bought this from amazon and it arrived thru mail. if youve been a blackberry user since then you will love this phone. i personally had the BB BOLD 9700, BB TORCH 9800, and BB TORCH 9810. out of all the blackberry I used, i must say that this is the best one. I personally like the sensitive trackpad and the full qwerty keyboard. I also owned Samsung galaxy S phones, Sony Xperia phones both run by android and also from the first iPhone to the latest iPhone 6S PLUS. if you are looking for APPS for social media such snapchat or facebook, this would not fit any of those instead, go for iOS or Android phones. but other than that, blackberry phones are still the best basic full qwerty keyboard. :)

  • Please, is it advisable to upgrade this types of blackberry bold 5 and bold 9790

  • yes,,, this BB can install WA, FB, Twitter,, only Instagram not avaiable

  • yes

  • Any1 know how to unlock them to any network

  • This phone Support WhatsApp and facebook and email??

  • does it support whatsapp..fb etc??

  • I feel that the black berry 9790 is grate phone and is afforderbel to mataine cuase of its internet plan

  • if you will use it for basic phone with email, chats with qwerty experience, then go for it. the size is just right for basic communications. Simple, Powerful enough to do some basic daily needs. I recomend it personaly.

  • What can I say is a pretty descent business phone with absolutely long battery life. And you can opt for 9810 as an alternative to this but I find this one better. I have previous experience with a 8520, 9800, 9860 and now 9790 but I like the 9790 most.

  • I am planning to buy Blackberry 9790 please suggest me thank you

  • Problem solve

  • The keeps crashing whenever I attend a call and sometimes during normal usage. Any sollition. Need help really.

  • Whenever the flash is on, and u take a pic, the phone restarts. irritating

  • Both blacberry bold 5 and 6 aren't so good....i got my blacberry bold 5 march 29 2015 i just discovered after one week after i got the phone it would reboot once in a day when i take a pixs it would reboot i got frustrated later the phone wouldnt even boot again but i love the phone....but to solve the problem either you wipe security or pack the battery(if the phone usually reboot),get another battery, or update the os...note:if the phone usually reboot be very careful and dont allow it run down cos it would come to a stage that it wont boot it would only blink the red LED light which the problem is known as flash 10111 it would be very difficult to fix it cos it wont be recognized by any system if luckily you have a desktop manager to fix it

  • my black la berry hv a problem of increasing a volume , it seams like up button damaged , I ended up being downloading xplayer n baamboo player premium , so that I can be able to play music n increase volume by those app .29DAD5D8

  • I had the same issue with my ol blackberry 9360 but I guess you download an emulator i.e youtube player on bb app world... It should work... Thank me later though

  • Me and wife have 9790. Good phones only for work - banking, emails (great!), organizer. For entertainment - not good (we got Android tablets). Sometimes something really drains and later kills the battery. We already got new batteries 2 times. So uninstall everything which you don't use (most BB apps sux anyway). Keep only what you really need. BB is not a gamer/entertainment phone. Maybe new ones, I don't know. For entertainment a screen of 7" or greater is needed anyway, so don't fool with a phone and get a tablet or at least get iPhone or Galaxy. BB is for work only.

  • Youtube still works on Blackberries. Address is m.youtube.com and it will play.

  • Pls I can't watch youtube on my bb 9790, the response is that the address is invalid, what can I do?

  • The Bold 9790 is reliabe for business and pleasure. Bellagio has a good battery life if you charge the phone properly (power of when charging). If you like light and small smartphone, you will love Bellagio. For me the con is only the keypad, the Dakota is easier for typing emails. If you like photography, the Bellagio camera is superb, because it has Auto Focus camera unlike the Dakota that has Fixed Focus camera, that is not good in taking close up pictures.

  • I'm also facing same problem but I'm sure that it's not a battery problem

  • Black berry9700

  • My BB 9790 keep re booting on its own and I can't figure out the reason behind that,so what's the possible solution to this problem

  • I really do enjoyed my Bold 9790 but what pains me the most is that its just start misbehavying by getting hot and hotter not until I discharge my dried cell (battery) from my mobile phone, in short I don't know what kind of blackberry to go for either, I so much like blackberry in term of web surfing but their software isn't that to strong, I suggest that they should try and upgrade their software to that of Nokia phones.

  • from where to buy this phone online.

  • Your battery is loose

  • I would suggest you not to go for Bold 5 or 6 becuase they have hanging problems. It starts hanging if you use consectively for 15 minutes.

Since there is no service centre at my location, I dont know what I'm gona do with this phone. Isnt the manufacturer looting the purchaser? If i spend less than 10grands then understandable but imagine 26k and didnt realise the moment without regret in buying this phone.

  • Expensive but cheap piece of phone. Battery is pathetic. Last phone anyone should get is this.

  • No it don't support skype

  • Any one who use this device Please told me. This device support Skype audio or video

  • Why is my battery draining even when I'm not using the phone.. Please I need help.

  • The hotness and battery draining Its d only weakness!... But I love the fact that this phone does not hangz....

  • ..rating 2/5

  • Well, for those of you who have the problem of phone rebooting, I used to have the same problem until I packed the battery tightly against the back cover. Ever since then the phone has been stable. All you need to do is to place a thick flat object like paper in-between the battery and the back cover and the problem of rebooting would be solved completely. Try it and see the magic.

  • I ve got the 9790 for almost 2 years now. And yes the battery does get a bit too hot at times, but over and above that, its a fantastic phone.

  • De fon is 9c buh its smtyms get hot plz is it a prblem of battary or de chager in doyn dat ma battery goes low early so plz wat shld I do to slve dis agn I hv frgrtyn ma bbm psswd so I cnt dwnld apps frm bb wld so plz any solution.

Also s calibration seize @ times bt it can be reactivated back after locking and unlocking d fone and even @ tyms u ll av to remove d battery and replace it back b4 d calibration starts working back.

  • Don't fill your BlackBerry up with junk then it won't freeze or restart itself. Just like a car needs an oil change to keep the engine running smoothly, your BlackBerry needs to get drained of corrupt data (security wipe) once in awhile depending on usage. This applies to most computerised devices of this era. Store ur media content on a memory card.

  • just got it and it feels gud....

  • 9790 is cool... But since when mine fell, the touch screen is no more working and it heat up, can't dail out unless I activate the speaker if not it will rebooth..... Bat3 not advisable! Guess its sytlish, cool but sucks....

  • My phone is always overheating.. Bb9790

  • Got same problem with mine

  • This phone is bad. I charge my battery every 2 hours... it keeps on restarting itself even when i am busy typing sms/email or when i am on a call. The phone is 9 months old. I regret buying it

  • I have BB bold 9790, this phone in very bad ,because HD vidio & movie not playing in this phone so u humbble request for all people please don't waist your money for this phone ,,,,,,its sucks .....

  • The phone has a good camera.. Try to check my facebook. Its facebook.com/rolzarn. Tips in using the phone: 1. Use only 2G connectivity. Its still fast and can handle things better than 3G. It will not heat your phone up. 2. Try to close when you don't use it.. And use cleaner for cleaning the RAM. File compression is also important so that the phones SINGLE core can render it. 3. Charge the phone correctly. It will be damage if you will use it when you charge. Remember, its only a 1230MAh battery 4. Have patience. Like its meant to be, Business is Business, less phone usage but delivers great quality and performance to those who do the same

  • I have this as a business phone. From my perspective it is functional but not particlarly reliable. It seems to be ok for emails, phone calls and initially battery life was OK. However I would say the phone doesnt have a usable life of more than 12 months. Ive had mine 18 months and have been plagued by problems with trackpad, battery, etc. Now replacing. My personal HTC One S phone purchased at the same time and used far more still works perfectly.

  • lol cmon don't joke. it's a piece of crap. slow single core. tiny low res screen. even back when it came out it was poor compared to others out there. for a kid to use as a basic phone, sure it's fine. but otherwise... nah

  • how to install viber on blackberry 9790?

  • u r facing any type of problem in accordance to this phone just make it wash up once then experience

  • just go to nearest blackberry care center and just washed up

  • I've used the phone for the past week and I'm impressed with it. I like the compact dimensions and light weight. The User Interface is also simple and devoid of unnecessary frills so common with Android phones. The music player is simple and intuitive. Furthermore, I was able to download often used apps such as Whatsapp, TV Guide, budgeting apps, Facebook, Shazam, etc. Works well enough for me! I can see I'm going to enjoy the phone.

  • Hey gays, I have bold 9900, I was also faced the same prblm, the main issue in blackberry is, if ur battery fully drained then the handset will not recognize the battery, for that u have to charge it from external source. tricks I did was mentioned below. - Get a local wall charger(china made) from market around 50rs(that�s a universal charger u can charge any battery on that charge, its having 2 terminals + & -) - Remove ur battery from phone and place it to the charger terminals, u will see the red indication after placing the battery. - Then let it charge until u see the Green indication(that means battery fully charged) - Then insert it to your blackberry phone that�s it it will switch on and u can again able to charge ur phone via ur blackberry charge. - Remember one thing never let ur BB handset run when ur battery is below 10%.

  • I need some help please the phone battery went dead and now I'm trying to charge it and a battery came up with a red x as if the phone not charging I have been charging it for hours now and the phone wouldn't even turn on so can someone please help me on what to do please

  • Hey everyone. Im planning to buy this phone. Can you give some opinions to me about this phone??? Thanks in advance...

  • piece of cr@p. drains battery fast (1 hour to be exact), small screen. hangs all the time. piece. of. cr@p. do not get this.

  • its goood

  • Try to put a paper, between battery and phone, i had the exact same problem on my BlackBerry 9320, rebooting 6 - 7 times a day, somebody told me this solution and it worked perfect!

  • This phone keeps rebooting. Have to use it directly connected to a charger to keep it up. Really don't know what to do anymore :(

  • return the phone to shop and hope it is still under warranty, its manufacture defect phone . Please return it and get replacement .

  • very good phone and if the handset is faulty the phone keeps rebooting apart from that it is very fast internet great phone .

  • I have been using this phone for over a year now, its a good phone, yes it lacks in the field of Battery backup but that's what is common with every Blackberry device

  • dose it upgradeable to os 10 ?!

  • Guys, I bought this phone 7 months back and still regeretting why I bought it. In the name of smartphone , it is a shame. Cant install apps. Battery backup is worse. And one thing which make it worse phone----reboots of its own. And sometimes, dosest come up. Have to check all the time wheater the phone is active or in switch off mode. Wish I had bought some Andriod phone. Final say--- Value for money is negative...

  • Within a year it will scatter

  • Recently purchased this phone. Its design , keypad , camera quality is awesome. I like its operating systm compare to android on S3.

  • what shopuld i dp when phone shows red x mark on empty battery?????? please help

  • blackberry bold shows red x mark on empty battery... whats the roblem ..plz help

  • This is the worst phone that I have ever used!!! How can a phone be smart without radio and specially without front camera. It. Comprises of the third class battery but camera is good.

  • camera is very good...battery is very bad if u use apps,u need a powerbank...cant install BBM...can use whatsapp,wechat and viber...good phone..no hangs...

  • I have been using this phone for more than a year now and I'm really decided to replace it. Pros: - Fast touch screen - easy to type txt messages due to its qwerty keypad - easy to scroll website pages Cons: - Reboots on its own if your watching videos online - Takes too long too boot - Battery sucks especially if you are using a data plan. - Hangs a lot - Camera lighting is so high when taking pictures it hurts the eyes - Requires atleast a daily quickpull so that it wont hang - You need to turn it off at night just to save battery life. - small screen - touch screen is not sometimes working. you need to lock/unlock the phone several times in order for you to use that feature. I don't know about you guys but blackberry is losing money and selling there company and I think there's an obvious reason for that.

  • Non

  • can you watch youtube as a seperate build in app?

  • Yes, you can

  • I m using This phone since its in market phone is good in chat,messaging(what's app and other messangers because keypad is along with touch screen) its easy than android to understand this phone. We can watch HD videos( which are HD On PC too). Camera is So good With super flash light(we can use flash light as torch with an app named super torch). Minus points of this phone are for downloading extra apps we need wifi network or BBM net pack through which we can use BlackBerry World. This phone do not supports Games like Temple Run, Subway Surf, Angry Birds etc. Only small level games can b played. Most Negative thing is Battery When we use apps it works for nearly 4 hours(talk time is nearly 5 hours).

  • hi gud ppl,hw do load watsapp on this phone?

  • can bold 9790 updated to blackberry os 10

  • I can't use my blackberry bold6 to browse because of heat

  • Be the best(bb)9790 This is an amazing mobile device I have ever used.it performs perfectly when usin vodacom as my ISP always 3G.I like it

  • people are compplaining on the batteries and are still buying it. wat an irony

  • Use mtn network to upgrade de phone subscribe to bbc then go to update charging may apply, if u try dis it we work because I try it.

  • JB, like I said before. Try upgrading you're phone to 7.1 OS, its unique because you have a new network option that actualy switches you're phone automatically to 3G when there is coverage for 3G, with BB OS 6 if you chose just 3G you're phone is constantly looking for 3G signal (thus the overheating) I self have a BB9790 for 8months now and only had probs until I upgraded to OS 7.1

  • Just a word to all who's complaining, its not the phone that's no good, it all depends on how you treat you're phone ! If you are having probs try upgrading to 7.1 OS, it works believe me !

  • I love the blackberry 9790, its amazing

  • then why all people are complaining about its battery, i dont think that its so bad as people are complaining. will you suggest me to go for it?

  • BB 9790 Battery last for 1 Half day under normal usage . I am the average user

  • The 9790 is an amazing phone BUT the battery does not last - comes off charge 7am - by 10 it is battery 25% and i need to charge or no phone at lunch - And no phone calls have been made! Charge - lunch 1 - 2 and charge again by 3 or it dies on the way home - at 7ish in evening have to charge again.. overnight if not on charge i wake up and its dead! Have to charge overnight! And no its not settings - I had a Curve with all the same and it lasted a day and a half WITH all my work emails coming thru - i have taken them off my BOLD.. And its my 3rd one in 6 months...1st one died between 2am and 6am (from fully charged) brand new - they replaced.... 2ND ONE - fried - the board blew and this is my 3rd one! TAKE THIS RUBBISH off the market! My Son's GirlFriend has one too - same old!! When i go out where i don't have power (wall plug to charge phone) on weekend (even shopping) have to take Curve with and before lunch swop sim into curve from bold so at least i can get call if needed!! The phone was not donated to me - I paid for this piece of rubbish!! So sick of this!

  • plz guys.with all dis complain abt bold 6.re u guys saying dat d phone is nt ok or wat.plz guys explain more before i make mistake.thanks

  • if you put the network @3G and you keep pressing then it warm but talking of hanging, i think the phone you need to check your engineer on that.

  • Terrible phone. After 2 weeks, battery life didn't last more than 6 hours when texting only, wifi turned off, and only on 3g network. after 6 months, phone reboots randomly and takes hours to boot. It even crashes when it's rebooting. Now after 1 and a half years, my phone just shut off and won't turn on anymore. Terrible, do notbuy this phone.

  • This phone is good but it hangs lots of the time and overheating just want to know why is that??

  • Is there an app where you can see the time since it was 100% till it get low?? Unlike the app that all android phones have?? Any recommendation? Thanks for that though....

  • people are not very clever complainin about battery life, all phones batteries die quickly when on 3g and in constant use. You are complainin about nonsense

  • If you want to update this phone(BB9790) to 7.1 go to your Blackberry Store or a refutable Blackberry Dealership in your area. 7.1 software upgrade gives a big improvement in BB9790 specially the Battery.

  • battery last for 1 and half day , if the battery is 100 % at 6 AM Day 1 then for normal usage battery last for day 2 12 PM

  • Good machine only weak batery when browsing..... But its Fantastic.

  • my friend had a BB Bold 9790, she bought it about 1 month ago and she told me that the battery drain so fast with 3G network. the battery had 100% at 5 AM, and goes 30% at 8 PM for 3G network. now she have to brought a power bank anywhere she want to go. just share my friend experience. sorry for bad english.

  • It is an amazing phone. But I have got a problem for some days, that the ear piece was not working. Some time it become out of order but after some time it become good automaticaly. What is the problem And how can I get rid of this problem?

  • If just using for making phone calls and texting will get 2 days out of the battery. If using for playing music or web surfing, one day.

  • I want to ask to this BB users a question... How long does it last the battery life to you guys on average usage?? Just wanted to know though...... Thank you

  • Thanks dear...

  • this can be used as a computer not as a phone. the battery goes down by lunch time after it is fully charges in the morning.

  • How do i use this fone as my pc modem???please help!

  • fone is definitely a very nic fone vid ultimate feature bt big lag is its battery, cant even work for half day on internet, my last fone bb3 was far better den dis in term of battery back up

  • Let me give it a one-shot, hope it will worth it!!!!

  • Really good phone, but I am a bit worried about the battery life, but if you switch off all background programms and the internet, it's enough to use the phone 1-2 days w/o charging. I would suggest the phone and the price is pretty low for this Blackberry.

  • I'd like to buy this phone, to try out BB. Also the design of this phone is very nice. But the price is still around 300 euro here... a bit expensive I think.

  • Dude i'm using 9790 for about 8 months, email is working fine. Maybe there is problem in Curve hands, and not in BB Bold? Probably you need to ask help to some cell phone expert, who can help you with this issue?

  • the battery is a disappoint i agree with u

  • Only bought this phone last week mainly for receiving and sending emails on the go. After one week no emails to my mail and none sent except if I SMS phone to phone. What a waste of money. My old Nokia never had this sort of drama and you cannot even contact Blackberry server to fix.

  • Really disappointed with the battery. Its shit to say the least. Smartphone with a dumb battery if you ask me. Other than that I like it. Comfortable in the hand, processing speeds are good.

  • I just bought this phone...the new version of this phone alreadt came with 7.1 os...with nw option 2g, 3g, 2g & 3g..hotspot..no need to upgrade os...batt life also ok...

  • the phone is lovely, but its not load

  • It's a beautiful SMART phone, I love it to bits.

  • Battery moderate. My 9790 died +12hr on 3g and 15Hr on 2g

  • not true u can select 2G only or 3G only or both

  • Battery drains so fast. Just bought 2 days ago and really upset with the battery

  • BlackBerry OS 7.1.0.907 for 9790 is a lot of rubbish as it does not have 2G only

  • Pls hw mch is bold 6

  • Also have battery issue, dunt make it through the night ... Very frustrating.

  • my bold is amazing i like my blackberry phone

  • Rahul, there's no radio FM at Blackberry OS 7.1 Bold and Torch type, Curve only.

  • hey i also have a 9790 and its upgraded to 7.1 O.S. but me also didnt got radio.. plz let me know if u find a way

  • I had the exact same problem, first bb I've ever had and I'm stuck with a bloody two-year contract, my lock button is cracking and it's extremely fragile around the lock area.(I'm not saying It's not completely fragile as I've dropped it several times and it's fallen into a bubble-filled sink as I was doing my cousins hair and recording it.) I wouldn't suggest it unless you have alot of patience. ;__;

  • GO to service Centre and they willupgrade

  • I bought Bold 9790 and I wnt to upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1 OS. What can I do plz help......

  • Its the worst blackberry phone... Heating problems - it gets so hot that you can cook food on it. Hanging automatic touch working battery draining out in 2 mins after full charging Track pad and touch disable automatically most of the times and after that you gotta reboot and its take another 30 mins and the phone hangs again bad after sales service Blackberry is a curse...

  • All you have to do is to turn to the manual internet settings...Just click options on the menu,then device,then advanced system settings,then TCP and enable APN... enter the Apn "internet" ...click on the option key and save your changes....You can now browse the internet from there..

  • That would be YOURS, because mine works to perfection, and if you switch network to 2G, battery lasts all day, on 3G, it drains in 4-6 hours of heavy usage. A quick OS update, and problem solved. This is the pocket-friendliest BlackBerry ever made. And looking forward to get my Q10!!

  • The worst BB ever made! touch screen move by itself (without touch it), battery drains so fast, BB does not recognize SIM and show this message "SOS". Do not buy it, RIM does not know how to repair it!

  • I want to buy bb 9790 plz any one tell me ..... dis fone iz good aur??????

  • I want to buy bb 9790 plz any one tell me ..... dis fone iz good aur??????

  • This cell phone sucks. I was using BB bold before this version came and I have never been satisfied with the performance. The battery life is to low, it hangs up and most of the time the touch pad doesn't work. The resale value is too less compared to Black Berry Bold

Which os version can i move to or what can i do that will return the 2g network tab please. i have tried upgrading to some versions but i couldnt get the tab back.

  • worst phone ive ever had. over heats constantly. resets its self constantly and cant even last 6 hours without dying. great to look at but hardly practical at all.

  • My BlackBerry Bold 9790 can't read my SIM card. When I'm making a call, it always appear that there is no service available and I can't even receive any text messages. What am I gonna do? Please answer me ASAP! Thanks!

  • Hello Friends..., Best Blackberry ever but battery back could have been better and very very very much expensive. That's the only claws i found in this phone... I wants to know only one thing that can we upgrade BB OS 7 to BB OS 10. Thanks

  • The track pad is defective, if its within warranty period it should be get it replaced.

  • which 1 of is 9790 n which is 9680

  • Touch sensitivity totally becomes inactive in my bold 5 automatically. This is regained only by removing the battery. I just hate this. This happens 2-3 times in one day. Please anyone tell me any solution for this or atleast how I can regain the touch without removing the battery and restarting the phone.

  • 9790 is besstt ..........no second word

  • I have one BOld 9790 Here is its description. Too bad selection for this price tag. Except the camera, everything are worst. Software hangs often even when we use the touch screen for scrolling music. Too hard to find free apps Touch screen often not active at lover side corners. Wifi and GSM often gets disconnected even on operators coverage OS is not a good one. Oven chinese $20 phones have better user friendly OS. Key pad is hard to type. Nokia phones of similar shape have better key pads I strongly suggest android or apple ios or even nokia symbian s60 phones.

  • Please suggest me, which one is better blackberry 9790 or 9860? Please reply Thank you

  • Please where can i repair my blackberry 9790, because is showing me initialisation failed on the screen,sim cards are not working.

  • Hello Friends.. I want to know which phone is nice, BB 9780 or BB 9790? Which one is better as i want to buy any one of them... Daily I do around 250 txts, 1 hour on call and 2 hours Music and no wifi usage ... If I ll use it like this, how much time its battery will last...? (how many hours to be exact) And 2ndly, I have heard that it's LOCK button does nt work properly in a few time and then it does nt work totally.. is it so? Kindly, plz some experience person answer both both questions, who has the confirm knowledge.. please.. Regards

  • Please could you update this site where we can activate blackberry services in different countries and create an office for such help. Black berry is a good phone after activating it services. Possible below $ 50. And where we can black berry phones both used and news. Otherwise in Uganda it is difficult to buy a BB mobile, whether new or old. Unless you got it from a friend.

  • Trust me man, if you're looking to use bbm service feel free to change to blackberry phone. If not then i strongly suggest stay on the android or any other device. The only good thing about blackberry phone is their blackberry messenger, other...suck..

  • guy i like this phone right fromthe first day i see it.. i want to know more about it before i buy it

  • The battery is always toooooo low for radio use'. VERY DELICATE. The upper lock portion cracks on its own after 2mths. SLOWEST phone till date.In the beginning the phone boils like Hell when charged or while browsing the net. Buy a galaxy grand or any other android for 25k. Don't waste ur money on this.

  • Did they say here that it uses micro sim? Mini sim is what they wrote, and mini sim is your so called 'normal sim'.

  • Bold 5, yes i have a good experience on bold series, actually if design this bold 5 same as bold 4 on size and face look...base still as now..its was totally perfect....cool! keep it up BLACKBERRY.

  • hy fellas, there is an error on the specifications, there is no micro sim slot, it s a normal Sim slot in the inside.

  • I have this phone, and it dies randomly lol. I'll be sending a text, and the battery will completely die, turn off, reboot and then say "Battery is too low for radio use."| This phone would definitely be a recommendation if it's battery issues were fixed.. Good phone other than that, but be prepared to shell out however much a new battery is, I've had mine for a year and it needs a new battery. It's in mint condition, I treat it very well.

  • I suggest mate check the blackberry 9780, battery lasts for more days and its a more well build and sturdy than the Blackberry 9790

  • nice phone

  • I'm already an android user but I get bored from my galaxy mobile and am thinking about this phone ... Any recommendations ?

  • I'm already an android user but I get bored from my galaxy mobile and am thinking about this phone ... Any recommendations ?

  • Go to the watch on your phone click on th Blackberry button , and click on the bedside mode the light will switch off

  • I think guys you are right about battery. Whatever u tell BB 9790 is good and soooooooooooooo coooooool

  • Youtube problem is not for you .all BB handsets is faced. Now its solved

  • Go 9790

  • does it have mobile hotspot?

  • The 9790 is most definitely better than the 9780. Hardware wise its a winner, its fast, its got a touchscreen and an awesome keyboard, although the one area in which is lacks is battery life. If you need the phone for a complete day (8 hour workday) the battery should be sufficient, but, you probably want to carry the charger around with it if you are a heavy user. Do I recommend it? Of course, but if you need some more kick out of your messaging device, you should instead opt for the Blackberry Bold 9900/9930.

  • i have read the information about bb 9790 n 9780 i think 9790 is better than 9780 but i'm still hesitate to buy 9790 anyone please suggest me..

  • I love my 9790,only that the battry doesn't last bt mwaaah its a computer on its on.welldone blackberry

  • after i updated new facebook application ,after i logout from facebook,the phone is very slow for 2,3 minutes,any one give me a solution please....

  • if i can answer your question honestly i tell you to stay away!!!!!!!!! it's crap my 9790 is 8weeks old and in for repair for the third time now!!!!!!!

  • Wait for Blackberry 10 phones..:)

  • Apparently, I am not able to watch Youtube videos since a few days ago. Not sure what happened, but same thing was experienced on my colleague's same model phone. The older version without the touch-screen still supports Youtube.

  • Ok guys can i know some information generally about this phone ? I'm currently using a iphone 3g and a nokia E71.nokia gives me battery life of two days with 3g on and 2-3hours calling and around 50 messeges. And i'm using e iphone for browsinh only. I love this bb 9790 design and hope to buy it. My question is is it worth to buy this phone ? Or should we wait till bb os 10 out i heard that it will support android aplications in bb.

  • quite good phone but not better then bold 4\

  • The phone is actually quite good. Battery life not bad. HUGE issue though, is the volume. Not bad on music, but I have mine on loud profile and I seldom hear calls and alerts. Anyone have a solution?

  • One of best phones I have ever used...

  • How do you get rid of the echo?

  • you can read,do you?

  • does it have a memory in it

  • Thank you very much for this info. I've waited for this comment. :)

  • My own experience in BB 9790: BB OS - 7.1 1. Battery - it's not bad (becaz it had battery monitor which is used to closed application automatically which is open in long time). 2. Battery - it consume very less charge for Like E-mail, Twitter and social Apps. 3. Battery - stand by time is ***EXTRAORDINARY*** 4. Battery - more than**** 6 hours**** u can continuously watch video (not applicable for online video) 5. Internal memory - it's good 6. Internet Speed- downloading a file or anything using UC browser ,*** speed is 2mpbs*** per second. the above information is true and its my own experience.

  • its just unbelievable, even the 9320 has a better battery life than this model. Another down side to this phone is that it gets hot easily & quickly as well. Plus, upgrading the OS changes nothing. Getting this phone will be a great loss. RIM blew it on this one, I'd have to say.

  • I want this :)

  • I recharged my account with blackberry but Email messages cannot enter my phone as before, what can be the reason for that. Thank you, Pastor Sam - Tanzania

  • Please try rebooting the phone. Check the setting as to which message gives you red blinks. try only to keep ur mail box with the red blinking light alert.

  • Pls I need help,I got a bb9790 and overtime I see the red light blinking but when I check to see msg there is none,what can I do to stop this from happening

  • yeah have speaker but no radio

  • can we download Skype on 9790 any one can reply me plz

  • hey guys. actualy, it awesome device and i love it. this fone only had a problem with it batery. i hope blackberry device will use more high capacity batery in they next phone.

  • How can I get the update reply

  • ok buddy...

  • That quite easy! most BB user get their batteries drained bcos the phone is always interacting with the internet. What is the way? log out from all social networks after use, reduce ur volume 4 call nd other alerts, reduce contrast if available, and when u're not using your phone at night disable d ''data'' option as dis ill disconnect u from all possible internet conections. Hope dis il help..

  • great phone, great camera, battery is solid.. New update is out, 7.1.2039

  • No, you've to get it on rent from some audio shop and then attach it witH your blackberry to listen calls.

  • is there speaker in the phone?

  • how can I save my battery from going down fast

  • Is there radio on this phone

  • I don't knw why RIM didn't jus give this 9790 piece a 1500mAh battery, instead they gave it same as the Torch & the 9900. For this reason, I still fancy the 9780 over they 9790. Just wish they can make a new piece with upgraded battery ie. 1500mAh.

  • download blackberry desktop software . Install the software.Take the back up of your BB. Then download the upgrade software from the site. to your PC.After download click to run. When the upgrade is installed go to bb desktop sogftware and upgrade.

  • I have same set, but my battery time is very low, my talk time is max 30 - 40 min per day, but my battery was drained after 6-7 hours. Please someone who have same experience or have any solution.

  • Good day.How do i block a telephone number on my phone ?

  • Hey guys I need help choosing BB. 9360 or 9790 ? I gona mainly use it for calling and social services like fb, bbm, twitter etc I compered both specs and it seems that 9790 is better. I gona use it as a back up phone for me because I already have other phone but I also wana own BB. So should I pay more for 9790 or just get 9360 ? Thanks

  • Yes. the upgrade to OS 7.1 is advised if you want a better battery life, the battery life has seriously improved on my Bold 9900 since i upgraded to OS 7.1. Also if you download Application Resource Monitor in AppWorld that will also help improve the battery life also.

  • from my experience ith my 9790, batt life is terrible jst like every bb, batt over heats one it is low and while you on the internet. not sure if software upgrade to 7.1 would help

  • disable smart dialing

  • it doesn't have a radio! Has everything but a radio, now that sucks. Takes videos in 'VGA' come on people that's so 5 years ago. The only reason to get this phone is; it looks good, later model and because of its BIS otherwise its a no no for me...

  • Hello all my BB guys, if u're thinking of getting d best durable BBphone that has all features u needed in BB phones,GO 4 (Bold 9790), I once use Bold 9900; but I just don't like it's fragile factor& it's battery don't last long. So my sincere contribution is that "Bold9790"is far!! Better than Bold 9900...... So go 4d BEST which is (Bold9790) d BB phone av ever used with my critical assessment of mobiles...

  • I av used various BB phones like 9630, 9700, 9900, 9800, 9810...but my sincere discovery is dat, BB Bold9790 is best of them all, talking about: Portability in size,"Long-life Battery Capacity"&it's fully charged in short period, 8Gin-built memory, fast speed, 5MPcamera, screen touch,..& more dat av never experienced 4rm previous BB dat I av used. BB Bold9790 is simply d BEST; I REALLY LOVE IT!!

  • wat ever i just bought the 9790 yesterday very cool to use love it....

  • 9790 camera come wit auto focus.. 9900 no auto focus..

  • No! you are wrong. BlackBerry 9900 is much better than BB9790! You maybe bias because you only have 9790. I currently have the two units, 9900 and 9790.

  • Bb 9790 is a very good phone ever...love the camera and videos..the pixels is just right!!the wifi is just fine... touch n type...oh yeah! 9790 is better than 9900...buy now!some says battery is the problem,any wifi gadgets N 3g or 4g's wl get mre power...jst set it to 2g..n the problem wl be solved.

  • i had the 9800 torch but when it was time to upgrade i got the 9790 bold as the torch was discontinued. i was told that this phone is the closest to the torch. what a dissapointment. it feels more like a downgrade. after 4 weeks the phone is permanently on charge as the battery drains in no time. it gets so hot. really really disapointed and the chances that this is my last bb is very high!

  • can u do skype or any other video call stuff on it

  • A horrible phone! It was fine when I first bought it but after a few months it showed it's true colors. Randomly just resets almost 10 times a day and now I'm having an issue that it can't read my sim card giving the initialization error. Wouldn't advise anyone to buy this phone.

  • Got the Bold 9790 for two weeks now, very good phone to own, blackberry fan,brilliant touch screen good battery life, great camera, great sound from the speakers, great keypad, great internet speeds hahaha what more do you need.

  • Blackberry must Release official 7.1 software upgrade for Bold 9790 for Asia... Thanks

  • Blackberry must include in the release of there Blackberry 10, Ease of Texting specially when you are driving, meaning you do not have to type long text they should have short cuts like in Iphone one press only of the botton and its a complete message already.....

  • just 1 of the bestest cells of bb awesome touch brilliant battery life especcially for music lovers :D

  • i hav this phone more than 6 months, and already upgraded os 7.1. no problem until now. great phone!!!

  • the 9790 battery was ok until the 7.1 upgrade . new upgrade uses up battery much faster even with the battery save option activated . no option to just use 2G either.

  • I love this device.its slim.its battery life is brilliant.its one of the best in bb world.i dare you,just go for it

  • just scared on wht to do, interested in buying blackberry bold 9790 but comment on short batttery life and system hanging,just need a help

  • I used bold 9780 until it developed battery problems. Sometimes, from 70% battery level, the phone will just go off when you do such thing as using the camera. The RIM 9790 is really a smartphone to use. Long battery life, I dare say.

  • i was using 9300 Blackbery for 1 year 5 Months then the bettery sucks then i upgraded to 9790 what an impressive phone i have m battery can last for a day without being charged and am always using FB,BBM & WHATSAPP so i cant complain anymore.

  • hi i had a 9300 for a while but the camera broke so now i want to get the 9790 but i have read the reviews most people says the battery sucks is that really true.Can someone tell me the whole story cause some people say its great and some nog

  • I have had the 9790 since August and at first, it was a bit of a handful; it would often get really hot and freeze as a result. However, I did a system update and updated all of my apps and it seemed to have worked a treat. The 7.1 operating system has a system monitor which closes any apps which aren't being used and it has completely eradicated the overheating issue. Other than that, the camera is awesome, the 3G is brilliant and the phone is uber-fast. I have had BlackBerrys in the past and I can easily say that this phone is the best one out there as it is not too much and the functions are all excellent. One complaint I do have, is that there is only one 'convenience key', personal preference would want one more. Nonetheless, great job!

  • im about to receive a bold 9790 and im unsure of it. i just upgraded from the 9780. please tell me if im making the right decision.

  • @ Vpb, i work for Vodacom ( the leading cellular network in south africa)and we have +- 3million + uses and everyday we have issues with all blackberry devices. Blackberry appworld has been an issue since November last year and rim has done nothing to resolve it. Our call centre's are inundated with calls relating to blackberry's, poor battery, slow internet connections etc. My sony ericson w900i connects faster than my 9900 bold :)

  • I've got the same problem. Did you manage to fix yours?

  • I honestly don't understand the negative comments. Sometime I think there's some people who just like to live that way. I'm an experienced bb user (had 8900,9000, 9700, 9630, 9790,9900 and now have a 9790 again) but I also have a iPhone 4S (which i'v also had the 3gs, the 4 and now the 4s) and use them both (one pro and the other for private use). There's no comparison. My "all the time" phone is the bb, because its an dependable device, has much better battery life, does everything and its a a real phone. Never, ever, ever has any issue with any of my bb's except the batt in the 9630 and the memory leak on he 9700 on os 6. The 9790 is top notch! A small factor full qwerty with a touch screen! What else do you want? If you want to play games all the time by a i5 . If you want a dependable all around phone buy a 9790! Trust me. I work for a living!

  • i think its a very nice phone 2 have

  • Before the bold 9790 I had the blackberry curve 9300 for two years & had no problems,with this one it's been a nightmare I can put up with battery but the phone it's self keeps cutting out mid call I've taken it back after 4 weeks were it was sent off for repair and eventually replaced with a new phone same model one week later and it's still doing this has any one else had this problem or is it just me ?

  • Deactivate the WiFi option and the 3G option and you will be surprised about the baterry life. Much better!!!

  • this is a very bad phone. first i was very happy that i was buying it but later i felt like throwing it. whats the point of touch screen the screen is so small. the battery life is poor and the speakers are horrible . also it hangs every 2 minutes. multitasking is bad. trust me dont buy blackberry just for bbm buy iphone or noki lumia 800 which is an amazing phone or android but first lumia 800 nokia is making a comeback

  • Poor battery life, had to take mine back to shop for this reason. Took it off charge at 7am and it would barely be used but by 11 it was red hot and the battery drained. Luckily I'd only had it 3 weeks and they gave me a replacement, so far so good with this one. Still not as good on battery as the old curve. Seems as though as handsets upgrade the poorer the battery life.

  • Recently bought this phone. Overall all a very good phone. The only area of improvement so far noticed is the "Battery Life".

  • What about the touch screen and OS 7? Is the mobile get hot while using a certain app or while opening 3G? finally what about the battery life?

  • I have bought this phone om Dubai its unlocked I am here in Australia now, whenever I try to make a local call prefix comes as 0097 which is the country code for Dubai, can anyone help me how to emove it as have to save every recieved calls manually and also have difficulties while dialling.

  • Absoulutley amazing phone! i love it! its small and has an amazing touchscreen, typing is excellent and it is lightning fast. battery life is also quite good. overall its brilliant and amazing. i fully reccomend it to you all guys :)

  • Terrible Device, bad battery life, the phone gets very hot after 5mins of talk time - worst phone ever very dissapointed goodbye Blackberry

  • Hey.. I am new to Blackberry phones. So, i want some help for my sexy bold. Whenever i try to download any app from App World i am getting "Blackberry App World is having trouble connecting the server. veriefy your network connections and try again." I am already using Wi-Fi.

  • Hey guys , I was just wondering if anyone of you got the white bold 9790 , cuz I wanna ask if there's a black frame on the screen ? Plz reply ASAP cuz I'm really confussed whether to take the white or black .... Thanks in advance :)

  • while every single bb user complains about poor battery life, rim just ignores their customers' grievances and makes new phones with even worse battery life. what is with rim and poor battery life on their phones?

  • Is this phone any good for music???

  • While trying to make this phone slim the key boards have reached to the edges making it too delicate and inconvenient to operate. Touch screen is too sensitive and opens up even with a wind.

  • only the cheaps, buy bebuzz & ur battery will be good!!

  • same reason tht apple makes a new iphone every year

  • Everyone is complaining of battery heat, remember the fancy applications where your lights shine different colours for every sms, BBM & e-mail it drains your battery life and the THK poker game also eats battery life, remember to close applications when not using the because if they open they draining you battery life. So be careful of the applications you download because that is the problem that cause the battery to drain And for those that are 24/7 on the phone playing games, music and downloading at the same time your battery will drain and overheat and also when the phone charge don't do anything while charging. You try to run jump and do push ups for hours you won't last an our because you draining your energy fast and when you sleeping your body is charging and you wouldn't like someone to wake you up then you get all moody and don't think straight Y because you didn't get enough rest so think of what you do to your phone before complaining... I have my phone for just over a year with no problems at all and still performing since I got it and battery life last me 2days.... For me so far I'm still enjoying the 9790. All those problems I have experienced with my 8520 and that's where I realise not to do so with my 9790... Enjoy

  • 1230ma

  • why rim always manufacture thesame phone every year

  • I have upgraded software on Bold 9900 and mine stil reboot itself

  • there is factors for the poor battery but mine last me a day and all smart phones you wont get battery for more than a day.

  • Hi it does not support java. Can anyone pls tell what less we can do because of not having java in this.

  • Hi it does not support java. Can anyone pls tell what less we can do because of not having java in this.

  • The BB APP world has mobile VoIP. You can now configure your actionvoip or stunt calls etc etc SIP users on mobile VoIP. Good luck mate.

  • I hav tha same prob ! My bttry dies wealy wealy fast

  • Guys, after I did an OS upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1, the touchscreen stoppped crashing and I can see a little improvement in the battery life. The browsing is also faster. I suggest an upgrade if your having any hardware issues like mine.

  • Hi, I am having the same problem all of a sudden with my Bold 9790. This morning the battery drained and it's overheating- up to 52 degrees Celcius! I panicked and removed the battery, then had to stick it in the charger because the battery drained completely. It's still charging but I don't know what's wrong, Help!! PS I've only had this phone for a bit more than a week...

  • Hi, my bold 9790 heats up really quickly, and the battery life drains really fast. For example, I charged it to 80% and went to sleep for about 5 hours, and when I woke up, it was 5%. I tried changing the battery, but the same thing happened. Is there a reason for this? On normal use my battery only ever lasts about 3 hours. I've been using the phone for a bit more than a week now.

  • I have had this phone for about 3 months. So far I have found it absolutely amazing! It's very quick, good quality camera, location services are great and overall an awesome phone. I'd advise getting WhatsApp.. The only downside of this phone is the app world, BB need to begin to compete with the Android Market and App store by getting the same apps!

  • how long does the software update take when you do it from you blacberry 9790

  • i had a bb curve for 2 years on contract,brilliant phone .. it used to freeze and had to take battery out to unfreeze it , but that was near the end of the 2 years , then i upgraded to the bb bold ... bad mistake ... it freezes a lot , gets hot and turns off , battery life isnt good , it has been sent for repair from the phone shop i got it , as its a contract phone it should be replaced, but i was told only repair , but one consolation if it breaks down within a month, they have to renew it , not to a bold hopefully ....

  • I am thinking to buy one BB, but I would like to get one that allow me to use some sip/voip calls. Do you know which BBs supports sip/voip calls? this one supports?

  • pls update your OS to 7.1. Battery back-up will improve astonishingly!!!

  • i dont know where you got urs but my bb bold battery is doing great. and 2 of my friend who use the same bold 5 doesn't even have any problem with the battery. it can last about 2 day without charging with BIS always on.

  • the phone izz amazing damm sleak and stylish i bought one in white... which comes with upgraded 7.1 os !! sufficient battery back up

  • hello everyone :) i bought tis blackberry 9790 on wednesday and i find the battery so RUBBISH!! and also my phone freezes alott!!

  • nope

  • Hi, please dont buy this phone.. Horrible battery backup and it restarts again and again, actually gets into a restart loop. Tough to manage, one cant rely, battery drains out in 15 minutes at times. Top of that service center guys are least bothered to solve the problem. They will just reload the software every time you go there. Honest review: Phone : 8/10, Company 5/10, after sales services 1/10.

  • What can I do so that my battery can hold longer? It's battery life does not hold so long!

  • Black Berry Black Berry

  • Hi, Does this phone supports skype, nymgo pl suggest me.

  • this phone is totally awesome inregards to the look and feel....if you are some1 who downloads alot this phone is the worst thing to ever have.../from my exprience it took me 1hour to down load a track and half an hour to watch a video that never stoped buffering..would not recommend this phone....p/s even a 9300 blackberry works way better

  • I am using this phone currently and it really sucks!! poor service with slow while booting. I'm using this phone even haven't reached for 1 year yet, it always getting hourglass if I did not rebooting routinely.

  • PLease hel my phone is slow on downloading. please tell me how to make it fast again

  • I have bb 9790 with OS7.0 bought it jan. 2012 since then I'm always looking for software update I want to update to OS7.1 , I downloaded bb desk top but I did not find OS7.1 update. Where can I find OS7.1 software update for my bb bold 9790. I search the net I found OS7.1 but its not Official , If anyone can help where can I find Official OS7.1 software update for my bb bold 9790. tnx

  • there is no difference at all

  • i bought many blackberries but non of them were really bad like 9790 i got mine four months ago and sense that time all problems that i never saw in other blackberries showed .. i really hate this phone ... =(

  • Turn DOWN the backlight brightness to 10% and turn OFF the automatic backlight dim/adjust function. The screen will look the same as the defaulted battery hogging 50% bright and auto dim on. Doing this improved my battery life. Also upgrade to 7.1 and turn ON application manager which closes unused apps that run permanently in the background. Also some apps automatically turn back on after you close them so keep checking to see what apps are running and close them. Also the way your Cellular Carrier may have your phone device set up or registered may hog your battery resources since the phone may have chatter between it and your cell service provider. I know with T-Mobile service in the USA something they use or have always 'chatter' with my devices.

  • 7.1 offers application management and wifi hotspot to the 9790. the application management when switched on will improve you battery life substantially since it will automatically monitor and close background apps to help battery life. I had 7.0 for the day I picked up my phone and the lastest fall 2012 7.1 bundle was worth the upgrade. Older versions of 7.1 are buggy so look for the recent 7.1 that Rim released sept/oct 2012.

  • I need your advice.. I'm new in blackberry.. Should I update my OS to 7.1?? What are the difference between 7.0 and 7.1?? Which is better?? Thanks..

  • With full BIS only

  • the reason why the battery finishes fast cause we use the 2G and 3G

  • are u updated to 7.1 ?

  • did you do pre-charge?

  • the phone is good but the battery lets it down battery doesnt even last a day and this is the 2nd 9790 that i got and its the same problem battery is dying too fast

  • pls sm1 shuld hlp me describe where the phone's slot for memory card is? if it has any at all? thnks

  • this is a terrible phone. i have had it since may 2012. i have had 2 battery replacements and a totally new handset replacement and now im waiting on a totally new phone replacement as it has the same original problems. the battery life is very poor and the touch screen works when it feels like it. it freezes and turns itself off at will and is not reliable at all. my advice.....DO NOT GET THIS MODEL!!

  • This is to all the seasoned Berry users. Could you please let me know whether the GPS works (Google Maps / Berry Maps) with just the BBM activated, and NOT the full BIS services? Thank you, & appreciate the help anticipated. Cheers! -Siddhant.

  • I need help, I bought this phone sometime in May and now the touchscreen keeps failing. I have to reboot everytime before it works. Is anyone facing the same issue here? Its very irritating and disappointing after spending much to acquire it....

  • buy the 9900, the 9790 is a rubbish phone, poor battery life and the touchscreen stops working after a few months - you have to keep rebooting the phone for the touchscreen to work...i'm still waiting for the official release for 7.1

  • i can send no problems at all emails and recieve however when i send an email from the phone the handset is doubling up the text in the email and also the signature at the end of the email ( the section that says sent from blackberry device ) Can you shed some light on how to fix this please,

  • the screen on my cellphone it getting white, i can not see anything. so i need somebody to tell me what i can to so i can see the everything on the screen.

  • Brill phone - battery life is not as good as most BlackBerry's but still better than most phones out there - lasts a good 15-18 hours of above-average usage. BlackBerry Bridge makes this phone fly if you have a PlayBook; and the new firmware update adds support for Personal Hotspotting. A cracking phone for the £290 I paid for it. I'd still rather the 9900, but I'd also rather the extra £175 in my pocket too :)

  • The battery is one of the worst seen in all smart phones.. blackberry needs to do a lot of work to ensure better batery performance... doesnt last for even one day

  • I Got my blackberry a month ago, the battery dont last a day, i dont use the internet i dont listen music and downloaded nothing i only use bbm. the touchscreen already giving problems

  • You are saying the NFC is carrier dependent what does that mean. Because mine doesn't allow me to exchange anything with anyone who has NFC.

  • @Mts : Ur Battery 'll remain 20mins

  • I purchased Bold 9790 on 20/05/12. since begining I am facing problem with touch screen it is not working at all ,track ball also have problem already given 2nd time for repair ar Remington India ,Gurgaon ,shop keeper Priya Gen next sector 14 is also not taking any responsibility , i wants replacement of this set can some body suggest to khom i should approch.

  • ï¿½нє Fone is on Point. Can't Wait �o Explore

  • I have bought this mobile last friday with updated os 7.1, excellent mobile, batery back up is very good, i receive 35 to 40 calls in a day, & make 20 calls, text 10 messages, browse every 10 mnts for every 30 mnts & receive 40 emails in a day and the charge last for more than 24 hours, please note my mobile is always in net connection. Excellent response, i took the white colour, its amazing. i strongly recommend to buy this mobile

  • if you had registered it with BlackBerry Protect then you would be able to figure out its location...if you had the feature turned on. You can also make it ring loud if you lost it somewhere close, or LOCK it if you think someone else might have it. Just go to protect.blackberry.com to get started. Good luck!

  • 2 days easily

  • If I text very little, about 10 messages a day; receive around 20 emails a day; and I keep the data constantly on, how many hours approximately will the battery of the 9790 last?

  • Bold 9790 of course!

  • i love this phon its looks is very nice with all the features i need i hve it but i have lost it few day back can any one tell me how to track my phone who is using and which place it is...

  • the phone gets too hot,first day of using it,trying to set it up,configure email and all that,seriously i could fry an egg on it,dont want to regret buying it,probabbly cos its metal all over,am not happy at all,its a bb and will be used every second,pinging and texting.........they should have put dat into consideration while making the casing.

  • Battery Life Pathetic !!!

  • its battery life is very bad.....n phone is always being hanged....phone is gtting heated up while charging....

  • On my 5th blackberry I have. Had 3curves ok! The bold is most excellent 9780 and 9790 battery pants but this a software issue I guess? Hope they issue one for the 9790 or is it going to be a bb10? 7.1 yet? Expansys rock by the way and otterbox phone cases ! 9790 recommended given its short Cummings the battery it is an excellent phone in my view! Works well with the playbook £129 pc world and currys 64gb one! I think apple overpriced given these hard times who can afford an iphone 5 or ipad sell an arm or a leg?

  • Bettery life is too little

  • why is my battery weak ? i'm not enjoying my battery at all

  • This mobile Is a perfect one its verey durable exellent

  • Half day battery life. Cheap plasticky materials. I had this phone on contract for 3 months, it developed a crack on the lock button, from continuous locking and unlocking. The touch screen stopped working. Service provider quoted me 150$ to replace end cap and front housing. What about my warranty! does not cover physical damage they say, but the thing is, i never dropped it.

  • actually all bb phones are not durable

  • Thinking to buy this phone. Is it a good phone? What better? Torch 9860(Monza) or Bold 9790(Onyx 3)? Please answer this. Thank You.

  • its awesome i love this

  • its a stupid phone!and it isnt even durable.. how sad .. people actually like this shit.. good thing it phasing out!

  • Battery life is very poor if you leave your data connection on.

  • Guys this is a great phone except for the poor battery life. I get roughly a day out of the battery and have to continuously have it on charge if making many calls.

  • Hey I Used this handset Its Very Good...to use all The application............

  • U will be so glad if u get a bold 9790...it's worth all d wait. It's my first too,but iv not regretted d decision one bit.

  • mee too im gonna win :))

  • forget bold 9900,even though it has same battery with bold 9790 but different OS ok.i am using 9790 now and the phone is very ok and i love it so much.all the people that bought 9900 are crying cos its crashing anyhow.the phone is not worth it at all

  • its better u go for bold 9790 than 9900.

  • 9780 is amazing due to its battery life .. It can keep working for 1 day and a half if you load it with applications with a relatively good performance. 9790 is amazing due to its big internal memory and 768 mb ram. The battery is not bad either, it can get you through 24 hours if you are a semi heavy user. so it's up to you, if you like new and hip, more storage, more programs go for 9790 I've been using 9780 for 1 year now and I'm in love with this phone. I have bought a new battery recently as I am a heavy user. The old battery started giving me less performance but that's normal in all phones. I was considering changing the phone, but im not an application fan, I only have the applications i need and the battery life is my priority so Im sticking to this awesome handset. find your own priority to know what you should buy.

  • im gonna win that blackberry bold 9790 this thursday or friday, i can have that blackberry bold 9790!

  • Help please: I would like another blackberry, I had a blackberry curve 8520 before. I would like to get something like the blackberry bold 9780 or 9790, what is the difference between them and is it worth getting the higher version or should I just go for the 9780 one? There is of course the new bold (9900, the touch/type one), it doesn't look very good and the touch screen seems a little pointless but would it be idea to get that? Any suggestions would be great, thanks

  • I like this style of blackberry, how long is its battery life?

  • i second you

  • Why does it always over-heat?

  • Actually m using iPhone 4 now and also I hv used BB 9360 for a long time I liked that and now wanna change iPhone with bold 9790 but wht abt any pic editor , bcoz m a image creation lover so is there any editor app like iPhone hv ? That's just a thing which left me to think more pls someone tell me :)

  • Hey guys! What is better? Blackberry 9900 or 9790 ? And what is there difference!? Thank you... I hope you answer my question. Thankyou... :)))

  • I love this phone ! :) the camera is waaaaay better than the bold 9900 and typing on this phone is super quick , i type faster on physical keyboards than touchscreen ones :p

  • weak phone... 9900 is better and is only 200mhz faster lol 599 for a lowgrade phone when iphone and android release dual core with better video and pic capabilities... ppl wake up!!

  • Does this have scratch ressistant screen?

  • fight with the service center guy. its a problem with a lot of users. it is a designing defect. the button itself was too stiff in the first place. they have to change it. i replaced mine for free. new one is much better.

  • frankly, none will last 24hours. 9790 has decent battery life, much better than 9900. keyboard is great in both the handsets and the speed depends on your usuage. i would advice to go for 9790 :)

  • YOu have to buy the BB9790 first :D

  • Go for 9790

  • Have had my blackberry 9790 for 2 or so months and am having trouble with the speaker, it's faulty and the front one is not working, there is no water damage and I haven't dropped it? When I first got the phone it happened and into it into repair and got a brand new one and now the new one has done the same.

  • what about battery life? ?

  • its too slim after a while when u have long txt chat ur hands starts aching ! :) but over all a nice phone :)

  • Can some genuine BB users guide me on this?? I wanna buy a BB and this would be my first BB. I m confused whether to go for 9900 or 9790. Both seems to b gud. What my main requirements are , a gud keyboard and a Decent battery which should last a min for a day, And speed should b relatively gud. Any help would be appreciated.

  • eberything on the phone is ok.. quality wise ok.. sound wise perfect.. its all in the battery, it sucks.

  • Google maps are any day better

  • Not at all worth the cost. battery is okay. used it for just 3 months and the lock button broke. And service center want $115 just to repair a button. the whole body has to change. Worst cellphone experience. Waiting for iphone now.

  • Battery life i bad nee dto charg it every day - Have it for less that 6 months and the track pad doe snot work properly

  • u need to scan ur device and do a software upgrade...........

Fast , responsive , good for typing .... If u have the white version in your country buy it ! :D And my cousin just found a white 9790 on ebay ! So check it out :D

  • not a good battery time :(

  • I think u need bis to run it.

  • How about the battery life is it good?I bought the bb curve 9360 and it's battery sucked

  • I have a BlackBerry® Bold� 9790 Bellagio. It's a really great smartphone and it is really worth the money. The keyboards are soft, like it's made from expensive materials. The touch screen is good, the model is nice and i really like the menu, call, end call and back button (like the one in the  Davis and armstrong). It is really slim and sophisticated. The 1 GHz Marvel Tavor proscessor works fast, the 5 megapixels camera is great and the VGA video recording is good. This is the best BlackBerry® smartphone for me. Well... Maybe  will launch a better one sooner or later, but now... It's the best even by the Dakota and the Porsche design.

  • teehee. loving this phone. i love the keypad. it feels good. awesome phone! i recommend buying thiiis! ^_^

  • at first good phone, after a while batter life is too short need to charge more than once a day. not very responsive always loading. I hate it but I dont know why I am stuck with BB, seriously thinking to shift to SIII.

  • nice phn, happy with it :)

  • AWESOME.........!!!!! its really awesome....

  • It's an awesome smartphone. Please let not anybody get you confused incessantly or inappropriately. That would be preposterous. I have used this phone, still using it, and ain't gonna use any other. Wanna know why? I've used iphones, and the rest, and I'm assuring you it's a good smartphone. Specification wise, it's awesome... Design wise, it's pretty cute... Functionality wise, it's perfect... So, tell me, what do you want from your smartphone? To think for you?

  • did games work on it?please reply me

  • Well I got my Bold 9790 about 3 months ago. I love it...the battery life is not bad...the touch screen is awesome...& to top it all off its a pretty little thing

  • Anyone have a idea when this phone will upgrade to 7.1

  • beautiful phone... keypad has a nice quality rubber feel to the buttons...unlike most of the curves that has way too much plastic... down fall is at the moment the 9790 cannot yet update to O.S. 7.1 but your 9360 & 9380 can and even the new 9320 comes standard with O.S. 7.1...

  • Orginal 9790 the porche looks too much too handle and why would you want a phone too look like a car anyway? Strange NO the porche looks too tacky for my likes GO 9790 !!! Xx

  • Well guys I heard all these bad comments and thought well the blackberry bold 9790 is rubbish! I also had a talk about it too my sister who also has one and she says that the battery life is good on it and she enjoys the camera and also the touch screen! The thing is that my sister before she got her upgrade she had a blackberry curve 8520 which I also got too in the same colour (white) and as my two years of contract went on my battery life got even worse till it came when I only had about 3 hours on half of my battery and I am going for the blackberry bold 9790 it is better than the new curve when I get my upgrade which will be sometime next week what I am trying tooo say is people who have heard these comments and thought straight away don't judge it when you haven't tried it yet go and try it xx :)

  • Am abut purchasing des phone cos i love it. Don't really think d bad opinions matter.

  • Hi all,I have been having this phone since March 2012 , No issues . But i had a bad experience at start .I got this in Feb 2012 and the instrument was hanging for every call . I was moving from 9300 and I felt I had bought a piece of shit .I returned the instrument and BB replaced it with a new one and on top upgraded the software . That did all the trick . No hanging since then and I am quite happy with the phone except that apps are limited compared to android phones .

  • very nice hendset .......BlackBerry Bold 9790

  • learn to spell barely

  • Pls can I upgrade my bold 9790 to 7.1 OS..and I heard 7.1 OS is better and it comes with mobile hotspot and a 4G service..plz reply asap.

  • I've been using this phone 4 a month now and i have mixed feelings. So here goes. Bad news - Yes the battery is pathetic. Im a heavy downloader and the battery dies after 3-4 hrs of constant downloading. Also the phone becomes unstable if u downloading a file over 100mb. Also i hate the fact that u cant select a only 3G option. This "2G and 3G" option is pure shit! With my old 9300 curve i could get 3G anywhere. Now im stuck on 2G(in the same area!). And lately I've been getting the loading "clock" way too frequently. Very annoying. Good news - The 3G is superfast though,sometimes i can download a 10mb song in 3seconds! I love the keypad which makes it easy to type long messages. It takes good pics and videos. Also the touchscreen makes me look cool and important lol. And the 6gb internal memory is much appreciated :)

  • the most pathetic cellphone ever used. battery life is not good at all... same experience with all other users... other smartphones like iphone and samsung are far better than this phone.

  • Plz dont buy the phone..wit t for 5 months and regretting every moment wit t..major battery and touch screen issues..looking to sell t..

  • This phone sucks! All i get is problems, i can barley text cause the phone randomly scrolls up conversations so i can't type, touchscreen barley works, all it is is just problems! horrible

  • Pls go to bold 5 forum, this is 6

  • Is d bold 9790 made for vodafone a chines phone?

  • My bold 5 just stopped working,it keeps blinking a red light and it can't come on.am so upset,it's not up to two months I got d phone.pls does any one have a similar problem?

  • So wat would u guys prefer the Porsche design blackberry or this 9790

  • my 9790 is not even three months old and the touchscreen stopped working , even after rebooting...

  • Great phone, been using it for over 3 months and i don't have any problem at'all, i recently upgraded the OS to 7.1, and the battery life seems better.

  • I've been using the 9790 for two weeks and have not had a single problem with this phone. The call quality is excellent, better than my 9900, the screen does not freeze and the battery is better than on my 9900. People on this forum have written so much rubbish about the 9790, don't believe them, go and buy it.!

  • I was thinking to buy this phone, But after reviews of the public genuine users are in majority and are launching complaint about this set. So I wont be able to buy this phone. Infact im using Bold 2 at the moment and very much satisfied but i want to upgrade my self if any one suggest me good product of blackberry latest then this phone i will think over it. Thanks

  • slim smartphone but the battery is rubbish and the touch screen crashes all the time over all this phone I will give it a 4 out of 10

  • touch screen on this phone sucks.....taken for service two times for same issue....touch screen simply stops working, works for some time after formating phone and memory card or restarting

  • I have been using my bold 9790 for almost 4months now and recently the touchscreen function just stops working and wouldn't start again until I restart the phone after which it would happend again...who else has this issue...HELP!!!!

  • Beautiful phone and exellent on all levels, had the 9780 and can say Blackberry out done themselves with this phone, one glich is the battery.

  • Is this phone's 7.1 update available yet?, especially in africa. Thanx in advance

  • it looks very cheap..the old 9780 looks much solid and high quality finishing

  • The Bold 9790 performs better in terms of battery-life compared to the Dual-core 9900. They share the same JM-1 battery and the single-core processor of the 9790 does not stress the battery. The new OS7.1 extends this even further and UI experience as well as daily tasks aren't compromised. Huge internal capacity and auto-focus camera makes this Bold a very good purchase.

  • Not good deal..bcoz no dual core or quad processor...so price is high and feature is to bad...

  • i started using recently. I feel very good. better speed i never feel a delay. only the negative one battery as usual !!!

  • You have been using it for almost a year? You are not saying the truth. When was this set released? Do not post what you are not sure of.

  • Does it hang/freeze?

  • this is a real deal guys i have been using this gadget for almost a year nw and i have no compains...

  • Extra battery? One more regular battery? or? explain please

  • if u lo0k at the 9790 and the 9360 they are similar,except that the bold g0t a better proccesor and touch screen,i wana kn0w wich is w0rth y0ur m0ney,cn i get help?

  • when will the os7.1 be available for bb9790 ?

  • under what condition did you operate your BB? was it idle or were you actively using BBM? im looking for a BB with a reasonable battery life.

  • how do you turn off unused apps on bb

  • which would you guys prefer: Brand New 9790 or a 4 months old 9900? price of the 9900 is almost the same as the 9790..

  • Just Do a reset (pull out the battery, that put it back, after 10 seconds).

  • Not much different to the 9780, the battery life is shorter if you keep the 3g on. Screen scratches extremely easily... so get a cover.

  • I've been using the BB Bold 9790 for the past three months and have been enjoying it except when my phone rang, I went to answer the call and I couldn't hear the caller. I then tried calling other people and found out that they can hear me but I heard nothing. What can be done to resolve this issue? Am a bit concerned as I signed a 3-year contract for this device.

  • You make my day Dre, please tell them the difference between a 'phone' and a smartphone. This is simple common sense, when you go to pages of Sony, Samsung, Htc, Motorola smartphones, its the same story about battery life!!!!. Wake up people.

  • i cant get my cell phone banking to work and i cant load my bis and my phone is only 1 month old....any suggestions

  • which is better bold 9790 or torch 9860 !!

  • Assume features in bb ice feeling after use only in blackberry handset,nice one i like

  • I am using it for last 3 months, my first blackberry phone worth of investment.......slim, lightweight, fast but regret on one thing need to charge on daily basis.

  • Can everyone stop bitching about bettery life, this goes for all smart phones, not just blackberry. You are holding a small computer in your hand, try operating your laptop without its charger and see how long it lasts. All you might have to buy is a car charger, usb and wall charges are included with the phones, just have a look in the box. The days of charging your nokia 3210 once a week are long gone, but if you still want to only charge your phone once a week, i suggest you search the classifieds and buy a pre-historic nokia or motorola v-series. Ciao

  • BB batery lasts long or not is up to how to use BB, turn off unused apps, thats all. i can use my 9780 up to 1 weeks without charge, call,sms,internet... no gaming,entertainment

  • Even after I upgraded my os from 7.0 to 7.1, my Docs to Go is still there.

  • Ok so I've bought the 9790 4 days ago. It charged 16 hours overnight before I actually started using it and I must say that I have no problem with the battery. I could use it the whole day through work and home at night with still about 30% remaining and overall its a nice and slick phone to use. The size is just right for me and I have no complaints whatsoever.

  • Low battery, lasts up to one days.

  • I just bought the 9790, the battery life last a day only which really sucks, what is new in this handset is the touch screen only and a faster browsing performance...

  • I just bought the 9790, the battery life last a day only which really sucks, what is new in this handset is the touch screen only and a faster browsing performance...

  • well i have bought blackberry a week ago, i want to ask that can we use skype on bold 9790. are we able to make calls through skype via wifi connectivity. i realy need to knw because i have to talk to my friend she lives abroad. thankyou

  • Ok you need to explain the part about the car battery and the adapter, I don't get how this will make the battery last longer

  • This handset is very good and very light to use

  • 7.1

  • Guys this phone Is good in performance but bad in battery life ! It depends on your need , if u need a bb that lasts for a day with heavy usage then the bold 9790 is the one . But if u need a phone that's average in performance and good in battery life then the 9780 is the answer ! Ps : I have the 9790 and torch 9860 and I personally refer the torch due to its fast browsing and faster CPU ;)

  • So what u guys are tryin 2 say is that 9780 is better than 9790 right? I wanna buy one but dont know the one to buy between the both..somebody shuld pls help me out.

  • Swty I'll advice u 2 buy d 9790....I bought it on 1st of dis month nd it's bin gr8 so far (battery wise)....dnt mind dis fellows sayin odawise...at least it doesn't hang compared to d 9900.

  • guys......what is the latest software for bb 9790?? is it 7.0 or 7.1?? anyone wants to share?? :D

  • Get your car battery , get an adapder cable , connect it to your 9790 . use phone for about half-a-year then you have to charge . problem solved ;) I'am using this phone and I have no problem with my battery because :- no games are installed , not to much app installed , and strictly no using phone while charging (play music,bbm or facebook) .

  • Poor battery life. And the phone heats up madly. So annoying.

  • My advice is to buy the 9780 its better than 9900 in battery life.

  • Hey man just listen Firstly u should pair u r bb bold 9790with u r laptop and then u can share and have fun.

  • got a bb 9790 bout a week now love the phone only problem is battery life. it last me bout 6 to 7 hours mothers phone exactly the same. other than that i wont change my bb for any thing else. buying an extra battery problem solved :)

  • Loo Loo ... what bad comparison you made. And yes, its true, battery/phone heats up tremendously if using the internet ... or if you are playing a game.

  • The battery on 9790 and 9900 are the same. Both have absolutely pathetic battery life. The 9780 on the other hand has a better battery life and can handle all your usual tasks with absolute ease.

  • If I'm not too late to comment ... do not waste your money on the 9790. I bought the 9790 in January, I've used it 6 months, and I've concluded that this phone is just not worth the money in any way. While the device itself is sleek and functional, it has some major drawbacks. Namely the battery. The bold comes with the JM1 battery. Here are my actual life facts, if I take the phone off the charger at 8am, then with just about 2-3 hours of voice calls, about 20-40 messages (sms, bbm and whatsapp together), and 3 of my emails in sync, the battery is dead by 6pm. So all that berry promise about talk time and standby time is false. The other problem, if I'm using the internet, or playing a game, the phone heats up very very badly. So bad that it would be difficult to hold it properly. Blackberry replaced my battery, saying that my low battery life and this heating up issue is probably due to a faulty battery. I've used the new battery for 3 weeks now ... but both problems still persist. Such low battery life is absolutely unacceptable for a business phone (or any phone). I live with a charger at home, one in my car, and one in office. A spare battery is super expensive. This also means that if I'm travelling some where overnight, then chances are that by the time I reach my destination, my phone is dead and I'm stranded.

  • Hey guys, M hoping to move to a bb9790 from my E71 .I have few questions about black berry.E71 comes with a pre installed office application and even if we format the phone we won't loose it,But I heard that documents to go get disappeared when you format the phone since this documents to go is a RIM developed version is there any way we can get it back.This blackberry have everything I needed so I wanna move to this phone and do you think this is worth buying.M not a fancy user of internet only requirement I need is good call quality and strong emailing facilities.

  • i have been using this phone from over 2 months now, its simply awesome

  • when u hav to recieve any file than first go to gallery than press menu button here is 1 option by name of (recieve using bluetooth) click on it and thn u recieve it......

  • My Suggestion is BB should have reserve battery life, exactly how cars have a reserve tank enough to get you home??? yes we should have a back up emergency battery that you can turn on when ur fone advises that ur battery and can turn off again when ur main battery is fully charged and it can go on and off automatically with a notification that says back up battery in use... this will be for emergencies, and itll help preserve life on our batteries because wed only charge em when they are fully drained, because charging ur foun when its not fully drained all the tym damages ur battery and a BB Battery alone is very costly.... This is my suggestion, i hate it when my fone dies and im like an hour away from home, or im lost, and i cant even make an SOS call

  • why is it that my bluetooth can't receive any file but i can send file to other phones and laptop help pls

  • Battery heating up.... What nonsense!! It can heat up a little when its placed on charge, but when using the internet? No way... its like saying the phone gets heavier when you download games and applications. Get real, this phone is excellent!!!

  • Battery heating up.... What nonsense!! It can heat up a little when its placed on charge, but when using the internet? No way... its like saying the phone gets heavier when you download games and applications. Get real, this phone is excellent!!!

  • Performance wise: 9790 > 9360 Keypad (imo): 9790 > 9360 cause the latter has small keys and I have big hands Battery life based on specs: 9790 (1230 mah) > 9360 (1000 mah) but based on my experience, my 9790 has a weak battery Screen: same The advantage a 9320 has over these two is its battery life, no doubt.the screen also has a lower resolution so I guess the battery will last long.

  • My blacberry 9790 touch & type is very sensitive. The call get connected at single touch as well as without touching it.

  • peopel say that there phones are geting hot an say its the battery well thing again its the procssar in it that gets hot and yes ts nomel for it to get hot its like a lap top thay get hot to so people yes blackberrys do get hot it just shows it doing its thing,prossar prossar not battey

  • My battery goes hot too

  • pls am confused,i dnt knw whether to buy the 9900 or 9780.i hrd d battery of 9900 is bad and that of 9780 is better.i jx wnt a gud phne dat will last.frnds which one shld i buy?

  • yeah it also happens to me every time. blackberry should have an option to disable touchscreen.

  • hi..same is the issue with my bold 5.. the batter gets heatup. its just a month old.

  • the phone is simply awesome ! i just bought it 2 days ago and the phone is smooth and fast but one problem i have is the battery life !! i really recommend this phone !!!

  • Battery life of Bold 9790 is really pathetic.. It does not even last for 4 hours if you are an extensive user. RIM has to seriously go back to their research team. Even battery saver softwares does not help a bit..

  • I had the same dilemma but I choose the Bold 9790. And I am happy with it. It's a Hot phone and up until now I dont have any mayor issues, but then again I've only had it for 23 hours :)

  • This is my first BB and let me be the first to tell you that my experience has been great ... The battery life is solid ... The camera at 5MP is good ... The internet is slow but if you remove all the extra programs that you are not using it will actually increase the speed ... I also shut off java because most of the internet sites I use are for news/sports ... This phone will not lag and is user friendly ... If you are a internet phone user then this phone is probably not your best choice ... But if you are in the business sector and a person who uses text and email on a daily basis then you have a winner in the Bold 9790 ... Make sure you get a screen protector right off the bat because the screen scratches easy ...

  • cant wait on its OFFICIAL LAUNCH of 7.1 OS ( ASIA ) for having a Mobile Hotspot

  • i have this phone for about a week now and i have noticed that the battery keeps heating up all the time! Esp when i am downloading large files of the net, is this normal or should i take it back to my service provider?

  • that mean you are not usig data service

  • I Plan to buy bold 9790 but after looked all of you comment i need to think back to buy,

  • Purchased it last week. So far, I'm satisfied and the battery life shouldn't be an issue. Used many applications, yet still complaint. Aiyoo

  • bad usb port. i wonder why did blackberry placed it on the bottom. tsk tsk tsk!

  • i dnt realy like b\b but i think this 1 is better

  • hey don'tknow if your a boy or a girl,,,,, but let me tell you,this is the phone i have usedsine a long time,,, battery life so gooood can't be charge in 3 days and also the phone itself its nice

  • Bold 9780 if you want a decent battery.

  • Not the 9360. I have been using it for 6 months now and am planning to change it. Reason: Poor Battery Life.

  • I want to buy a Bold 9790 and i have two options : one is made in Taiwan and the other one is made in Mexico.Which one should i buy?

  • i am about to buy this phone can any one plz tell me is good , what about the battery life is it good or not and what about the internet

  • 9790 Battery quickly turned hot. really different from the previous BlackBerry quality (BlackBerry 9000/9700)

  • U talking about BB 9790. Bold. How is its performance ? And connection to internet bis . Bbm etc

  • I have been using BB9790 right from launch and its battery life is so terrible. No comparison to Bold 9780. The ring tone volume is so poor. Secondly, the touch screen is so bad that the speaker phone gets activated so easily during a call. I also noticed a strange thing that each time when we speak the receivers call is put on hold somehow. Still havent figured out whats the reason. NO software updates yet. still suggest you buy the 9780. value for money. but quite slow compared to 9790. Regards

  • want 9790 as ma first bb.....any help on general fone perfomance?(battery, signal)

  • m planning to get my ist BB ... Just confused between BB Bold 9790 or BB Curve 9360.. Sleek models.. which one is better??????????? BB 9320 is also an option.. I need a phone with good battery life fr sure.. plz suggest....

  • doesnt look better than the 9780!!! that one i refuse!! the buttons on the trackpad are the first thing that make me puke!!! then look at the body...oh my!! its intelligent to be true but not physically.

  • This phone is a good one, the one i have just isnt great at all, the battery life sucks, it looses signal whenever it wants to, it gets confused and goes into auto scroll where the scroll acts as if its posessed, and the touch is not all that... overall my experience is that this phone is not one of the better options

  • Look buddy, your one is obviously a faulty unit. Don't be silly. I've used all of the blackberry's available in my country and this outperforms almost all of them (excluding the 9900 of course). The battery lasts longer than advertised actually. To all the people complaining about low battery life: like all devices; TURN OFF THINGS YOU DON'T NEED!!! It lasts days when I'm not on it all the time and even when I am, I get a full day out of the battery. People who don't understand moderation shouldn't be allowed to have luxuries...

  • After upgrading to 7.1 , can we use the tethering facilities??

  • What you are trying to say? If you are in the industry that does not mean you know everything. You are just an end user, so share your experince with this device, don't go more than that, if you have experince in designing a device, why don't you apply for a job at RIM?

  • Blackberry should be Black...!

  • I bought this phone last month after feed back from a friend. It's sleek and looks good.. But,the battery back up is soooo irritating. I have to carry a charger everywhere I go.Never expected this from BB. The software is got some issues also.I thought I was the unlucky one. But my friends also got the same problems.. BB pls.work on this..

  • But i saw alot of complaints bout the battery :'( that's what worries me.

  • I am a true BB lover and I've been using them for quite sometime now. It is in fact quite disappointing to see the same good old blacberry design every single time they release a new phone. I now started thinking that BB has to invest on something new, if they want to bounce back into the business. I wouldn't have been using the BB's if it was not for BIS (I mean its been enough of the same old design (just like putting some new dress on a granny))

  • can anybody tell abt its sound quality ??????

  • Definitely the Bold 9790 - looks and performs better in every aspect!

  • This or 9320? Its gonna be my first BB ever.

  • can the bb bold 9790 get viruses?????

  • i ought this phone a few hours ago, charged it and everything but now i cant evens make a call then it freezes then i have 2 take out the battery because the shut down button doesn't work...i must say that this phone is crap

  • i have this handset for 1 week now ..after 8 hours charging with power off when i open it in one hour shows 90% battery with only 15min of coversation ...with data closed,2G only....and i contracted for 2 years..

  • ive recently taken a contract with the 9790 the touch screen lasted all of 3 weeks, the battery is also horrendous. all in all this is a terrible attempt at keeping up with an ever developing smartphone industry. i work in the industry and am yet to see an acceptable blackberry worth spending a penny on

  • this phone i buy it yesterday and i have put it in charge yesterday itself and this morning too a lil bit, and you know what its stil full charge even now so late in the night,,,,,,, an the battery is 10/10,,, no problem,,, and phone itself is nice

  • white

  • Already did the 7.1 upgrade. But still my battery dies very fast. My fone is just 5 days old but I'm thinking of switching back to 9780

  • wait for blackberry os 10

  • it depends on your budget... as for me bold9790 is enough... with a touch screen it makes your works easier

  • what about the comparison between 9790 and 9900, which one is better? i have already 9900 and i would like to try this 9790. it worth?

  • Bought my BB 9790 about two weeks ago. A great smartphone. My only problem is the battery, it drains very fast. Infact, it lasts less than twelve hours. Any suggestion on how to improve my battery life? Thanks.

  • This phone is the best i love it im using it since 2month :-)

  • I've used my 9790 since Feb 24 and i have no complaints with it except for the battery. It's a good phone.

  • Of course bold 9790 is much more better than 9780.

  • which blsckberry is better ??? please answer my question

  • I had the handset for a week now and no issues. Touchscreen is very responsive and user friendly. The phone also looks great and is very sleek. Really enjoying it.

  • The 9900 has no battary life, I was told the 9790 lasts longer.

  • blackberry 9790 or galaxy s2 which should i buy?

  • very good phone with all features optimized for me. this is fast, slik, good display and battery life. i would recommend this phone to my friends. since many of them need to upgrade their contract.

  • are you kidding man .. then how about 9900. ? i need to know it soon. i was planning to go for 9790

  • Uh.. you guys make me confuse on the bold name >.< [bold 1] 9000 [bold 2] 9700 (onyx I) [bold 3] 9650 [bold 4] 9780 (onyx II) 9790 (onyx III) [bold 5] 9900/9930 (Dakota/Montana) How's that ?!! but it's all depends on your region !

  • 9790 white launched

  • 9790 is far better than 9900 by far!

  • you can receive emails using wifi vii yahoo or google, but not directly to your phone..

  • tried and tested, upgrading to OS 7.1 doesnt make any difference.

  • bb bold 9000 is bold I bb bold 9700 is bold II bb bold 9780 is bold III and this one is bb bold 9790!:)

  • anyone aware... is there any way to set up and receive emails from wifi for this model..

  • I think this phone replaces the 2 year old 9780,I'm looking forwad buying one

  • my BB was stolen, how do i block it

  • Sort of, but some may disagree. the way i see it there were three main generations of the bold 9000 then the 9700/9780 then the 9900/9790 you can even put the 9650 somewhere in there as a bold too.

  • Blackberry 9780 is also know as the onyx II,9790 is known as onyx III I guess the reason of blackberry 9900 touch not to be nicknamed in the onyx line is that is design doesn't resemble the last two (9780 and 9700)it looks like the 9000

  • It depends ,,9900 has the most amazing specs of all bolds,it has a 1.2ghz while the 9790 has 1ghz,a little bit slower,they all are touch screens but the screen resolution for the 9900 is much higher(more sharper)then the 9790,on my opinion I'd go for the 9900 but the good thing is that 9790 costs less with many good things in it

  • Tha answer is obvious once you read the reviews of both phones. This phone's reviews are pretty nasty, the other phone (9780) has fans and worshipers galore.

  • bold 9790 is bold5, 9780 is bold4,9650 is bold3, 9700 is bold2
