Yeah I'm thinking either I should wait or get a 9700 soon.
I'm hearing the keyboards really small and a lot harder to type on?

keyboard looks exactly the same as the 9700.

I think BB9000 is the best, keyboard is bigger and all you need to do is load up OS 5 and you are game.

BB9800 does look interesting though, will have to wait until Rogers get theirs hands on it.

Can they just release this think already so I can pick up a blackberry just realized how pointless it is to get the 9700 its such a screen size down grade the 9890 looks way better

Received some 9780(9700's replacement with 5MP camera, 6.0 OS and 512Mb ram) for testing. If anyone has any questions, Feel free to ask. I can also post sample pictures and screenshots.

so they calling it 9780 instead of 9800 now ? please post pictures of the phone compare to good old 9700 please...

Three devices releasing in Aug 2010.

9300 Curve(8520 replacement) with 3G and GPS + Wifi.

9780 Bold(9700 replacement) with with 5MP camera, 6.0 OS and 512Mb ram and same form factor

9800 Bold Slider, large touch screen, slide out keyboard, 5mp camera, 6.0 OS and 512Mb ram.

You think they'll realese the 9800 onto Rogers at the same or at least a month after bc I think I realized I'm not willi g to wait untill sept/ October for a new phone I want it at least by mid sept, I really want the 9800 slider but if I have to I'll get the 9700 white one

sorry I edited I'm half drunk but I heard the 9780 is like a December release soo all three are aug for sure?

bb's keyboard is great and all, but if bb wants to seriously compete int he consumer market, they really need to stray away from the all business and no fun image they have right now. some people get the bb fro the keyboard but that is hardly an exclusive market, other phone makers like nokia also makes great phone with keyboards.

Now alot of people buy iphone simply because its fun, they don't care really care if some serious business part of the phone isn't perfect (ie, reception, phone function etc) because there is a million other distraction in the form of apps that makes them overlook the mistakes. iPhone may not be the most perfect phone or the most perfect one but its is arguably the funniest and that attracts everyone from the teenager to the hipsters to the business man who wants some off time from being all serious.

but i guess bb fans and apple fans will always be enemy. bb fans would always go "but bb does this and this and this and this better, and it has this and this email features and bbm and you can forward you sms to multiple ppl etc" while the iphone folks are more like "meh so what, my phone can make fart sound in different frequency"

Lol usually it's well my phone sends txt's faster and has bbm what does your iPhone have.............. I really just love the look if the phone and I'm a big touch screen lover. But this new blackberry looks too insane to pass up on plus i've Bren using some friends bb's and I'm starting to like them a little more and more

Soo do you know if the 9800 will be on Rogers? This month, and when the release date for the 9780 will be?
Posted via RS Mobile

I want 9780
Posted via RS Mobile

so besides those, are they exactly the same?

whats the camera and ram size on the 9700?

3.2 and 256 IIRC
Posted via RS Mobile

I want the 9800, I really do. Only problem is that I fear OS 6 having the same challenges as previous versions. This whole business of application memory limiting the size of applications, and the number that I can install. Yes, the half gig of ram will help but it doesn't solve the fact that the OS is just built on top of an ageing platform.

I love my bold, but the build quality and the OS are driving me away from the platform. That being said, this is the first slider with a keyboard that doesn't look like it's a palm pilot from the 90's.

Does any ody know whether these phones will be released to Rogers and if so when?

You've asked this question fucking 5 times in this thread and there's a reason nobody answered you.. Now stop asking because nobody knows

^lmfao
i just came into this thread to ask that very question but i will now hold my peace

it's currently being announced... Aug 12th is the date AT&T gets it and I think it won't be long before Rogers gets their hands on this but it's not as sexy as you'd expect. PalmPre housing with OS 6? .....
