Blackberry Bold 9900 in 2020: A Farewell to a Friend

[@nikki3585]

I still use this Blackberry in 2020 because it's all I need and no more. No social networks, no gaming, no time to waste, except for my textual creativity.

[@StevealiciousTech]

I like it! Perfect use for it.

i just found one for 20€ in perfect condition juste has to change the battery..i am so happy i remember when i saw it in store when it was is time i just felt in love but it was to expensive for me at this time .. i never forget it and still found its the greatets phone design of "keybaord" phones

[@Ofkgoto96oy9gdrGjJjJ]

Yep, pretty much! Smartphones just gives you more distractions from the real world with a lot of things you can do even better on desktops PCs and laptops, anyways. I've been using dumb phones as my main devices for a long time and only use smartphones for news, whatsapp and games.

[@StevealiciousTech]

Agreed! Someday, maybe! Hopefully the new BlackBerry this year is a good one. Thanks for watching!

[@valueink]

I remember Chen saying that someone should re-release this model with updated specs because it was the best Blackberry ever made. I know there's a new one in the making, but I think it'll probably be similar to the KeyOne size and shape. You're right. There's no phone on the market right now that is as compact and at the same time a productivity machine. They can maintain the form factor while increasing the screen size simply by minimizing bezels, especially the top, and bringing the keypad a bit lower. Update the specs and put android on it with the Hub and some of the BB native apps. I'd buy such phone in a heartbeat. And I know there's plenty of other who would jump on it. We are a niche market at this point, that someone needs to cater to.

[@highrise]

God loved this phone. I wish I would have kept it. Kinda tempted to buy one on ebay, for nostalgic purposes. I want to send a text on this so bad right now.

[@Angel-HC]

Looking back, I'm actually amazed how many BB's I had before switching to Android in 2015. My first was a Pearl 8110, then my dad's Curve 8320, then a Bold 9700 that my friend gave me. I had a Q10 in 2014 and a Classic(Q20) briefly in 2015 before I got my first Android(the Asus Zenfone 2). Seven years later, I still have that old Blackberry ringtone saved to my Google Drive so I can use it on my Android phones, keeping the BB legacy alive!

I had this phone and its still the best phone I ever used in my life even tho Ive owned a iPhone 6, 11 & 13

[@J.Wick.]

I had the previous BOLD from 2009-2010 with the ball, looks pretty much identical otherwise. Man, I loved that phone at the time. Felt sooo premium. Had it for a couple years, and was up for replacement. Initially, I went with the BB Torch, had it a week or so, then I saw a friend pull out a new HTC Inspire. And that....well that was that. As cool as the Torch was, it was nothing compared to that HTC. I returned the Torch the very next day and got myself an Inspire. Blackberry really had it going on for 2-3yrs, and I believe with a couple different decisions, there could still be room for a 3rd. But alas, that was not the case lol. Love the BOLD. Cheers.

[@Shamus71]

I had the first version of the Bold. I have always been an iPhone user but the earlier days there wasn’t MMS. So after the iPhone 3G I went with the Bold to fill the void and I really did like that phone a lot. For multimedia it was also ahead of the iPhone in certain ways. It at least had A2DP stereo Bluetooth to use with its built on media player, Pandora, and even KZbin. It was definitely a head of its time for sure. I believe this was winter spring 2009 when I purchased it. And yes.. that keyboard was awesome, very well designed.

[@uavGR]

i cant compare to anything else even now. It's touching that how much emotions a mobile can bring. No iphone can touch your heart as a blackberry does. And we come to the ultimate question WHY? Why Blackberry threw that feeling to the trash...,Maybe they havent realized how much impact their devices have on us. I brought yesterday my key 2 and passport se in my university course to see if there will be any reactions. Everyone was asking where one can buy the passport. Immediately when a classmate touched the passport's keyboard, he was amazed by this unique feeling. FEELING is the key and Blackberry chickened out at the end.

They already did revolutionize smartphones with the 9000 bold from 2008. But that had just 3G, and the build quality was excellent for the time. But people generally prefer full touch screen instead of keypads on phones. So iPhones and Androids dominated the market.

Blackberry/RIM missed out on an absolutely WIDE OPEN opportunity to swoop into the “simple phone user” market. There are people now buying candy bar Nokia and PUNKD phones because they dislike the constant need for connectivity, lack of privacy, lack of security, increase in hacking with such saturation in Apple and android as the only options, phones being too big. This solves EVERYTHING. Just slap 4G and 5G on it, give it an updated camera, and make sure there are the 5 or 6 necessary apps like Uber and maps and perhaps simple work email apps. Two big reasons people can’t make the switch to simple phones are the lack of a QWERTY keyboard and lack of the main apps they need to get around (railroad train pass, Uber, etc). Blackberry cmon.

It's because of ads they want you to jump into the system so you can look at ads That's what it's all about

I had one of those, then the Curve. Or maybe it was the other way round.

[@StevealiciousTech]

I think the Curve first but both were good!

[@Gary0557]

@@StevealiciousTech I've just checked. The Curve was released in 2009, and the Bold in 2011. I think one had a ball type tracker pad and the other a flat one.
