Well today it lasted almost 16 hours before it got to red with 1 hour of browsing and 30 mins worth of BBM. I think I'm going to downgrade back to 7.0.0.540 tomorrow so I don't have to worry about battery. Although the new functions are quite useful, I'm not in need to use wifi hotspot and NFC at the moment anyways. Just going to wait for later builds.

Acutally battery life improved once the os settled in. I've had installed since last friday. Today it's a lot better. Been off charger since 8am and it's 75%. Just wierd for me because on the 9780 the battery life was fine just after an upgrade.

so i download the file onto my phone. how do i install it?

i open the file but it gives me an error

communication failure has occured.

Really?? What version were you on before you upgraded to this one? .540 was reallllll good.

What are you trying to install? If you are trying to install OS 7.1 then you need to install it onto your computer. It's not an OTA upgrade.

people on this forum are way to fucking quick to fail others.. 6insomnia9 is selling his bold 9900 so he can buy the AWS 9900 that works on mobilicity/wind. damn tools.

@Teh Doucher.

Thanks , some people are just douches.

or maybe im just not being much of one... :pokerface:

Battery get's MUCH BETTER with .540. I highly suggest you guys to upgrade to this one for improvement with battery life. Or if you want to play around with wi-fi hotspot/NFC, go for 7.1.

Where is everyones battery made?

I just got a new one made from korea.

The old one was made from japan.

Where could i buy a BNIB 9900 at a local store? (no contracts)

What carrier are you?

They are everywhere.

You can get it at Rogers Plus stores for sure. They will sell it to you outright for sure as they are a corporate store. Too bad the price went up from 549 to 599 now lol
Just look for it on Craigslist though.. I got one for my mom like a little over a month ago.. BNIB for only $400

Your mom has 9900? Dang
My mom hates the style of phones now-a-days.
She misses the LG chocolate style phones.
Nice and simple for her.

im having issues unlocking my telus locked phone

every time i stick a new sim card in, it asks for my blackberry ID password, and the password doesnt work!? tried this with both a 3G sim and a non 3G sim, it has to be the fucking blackberry protect

i cant unlock it cuz i cant get pass the log in, which leads to the unlock screen

How is the 9900? I'm planning on upgrading from my 9700. I don't want to hop on iPhone, but the SG2 grabs my attention. I need some honest views, no bias.

Thanks :)

It's pretty much a upgraded 9700 with touchscreen imo.
The battery life kinda sucks tho.

^
how can you say it's just an upgraded 9700?! lol
it's faster, smoother, web browsing 50x better, better os(imo), better keyboard and lighter=)
the apps are limited, but it has what you need.
and yes, the battery is kinda weak compared to the 9700

^Weaker but still not bad if you upgrade to the newest OS. Lasts 2 days for me if I use it lightly but always gets me through the day.

I am thinking of getting a 9900 sometime soon. My question is, would I be able to restore all my contacts, files, and apps I have on my current phone to a 9900 or to any bb for that matter with bb protect? I currently have a 9300.
