            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.

                    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

                            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.
