BB 9900 Bold Vs. BB Torch 9810

requiem1

I need to make a decision on which one of these to go for today. Its a workphone, kinda leaning towards the Bold, not much in the price difference for me so I choose either. I have a samsung S2 for my personal so good for internet browsing etc.

Anyone have any opinions on this?

Thanks,

Req

I've got the Bold 9900 at present and think it's fab. The torch 9810 is quite different with the full screen and slide out keyboard. I'd only see an advantage in it if you wanted a much larger screen for work. Otherwise I think the bold 9900 is far superior. Its got an amazing keyboard too (better then the 9810)

Nice one exactly what I was thinking, i like the idea of having the keyboard right there in front of me and I'm not going to be using this for internet browsing so my mind is made up.

Thanks again mate

Cookie, I was thinking of this phone myself. Out of curiosity what is the internet browsing like?

I find the combination of touchscreen and keyboard great for browsing. I'm replying to this from the device. It doesn't support flash but it's still rumoured to be coming although that may not arrive until The QNX operating system. Certainly the browser is a big improvement over the older version on OS6

QNX should be the biz, my 9900 will be here today or tomorrow, so once I get it and play around I'll write up some of my comments, QNX brings android app support right?

Yes it's rumoured to. Considering the Playbook from Blackberry (running QNX) has android support then I'd expect the handsets to support android too.
