BlackBerry Bold 9900 review: Business reimagined

20 September 2011
A brand new OS, more speed, a facelift and a high-res touchscreen, the latest of the Bold messengers is listening for the roar of the crowd. There's no going back to the old rational and composed self - give it danger, thrills and excitement...

                The e.mail and sms i recieved can not transfer to memory card or to another folder. The internal 16G memory is soon used up.

                          I've had the blackberry bold 9900 for about 2 weeks now I got it for a christmas present, my opinion on this phone is it's great, my internet is usually very fast often depends on what network provider you are on, I'm on o2 and it goes pretty fast. The camera is good quality too, with flash and diffrent camera modes to fit the occasion you want to take a picture, I also love the design its very big but better for viewing pictures, videos and internet browsing. The battery life is the downfall but I've noticited the reason why is to many contacts on blackberry messenger or use of applications like internet, pictures, listening to music etc. I'd say if you want the blackberry battery to last minimaize you're use on these certain applications and it'll do just fine:)

                              I have now owned the 9900 for more than a year (see my earlier posts in Sept 11). I was a day one buyer in Singapore and... still a fan. It is still the best business productivity phone out there. Still the fastest and easiest for reading / replying email and messages, esp when you are used to the shortcuts.

                              One tip to share: lately, I found that my 9900 was getting very slow. The hour glass would come up and stay for many seconds - very annoying. Rebooting did not help. I did two things which got rid of the problem permanently:

                              1. i went into settings/device/application management/application storage. one of the bizarre quirks of the 9900 is you have 8gb of internal storage but only around 550mb is usable for apps. I got rid of every app i did not need or use.

                              2. i went into documents to go/files. for some reason, I had many many copies of .pdf files (some in french) that I don't remember downloading. They were dated June 11 which is before I bought the phone! literally hundreds of them, each only 30-300kb but they add up. I spent 20 minutes deleting them one by one (BB - is there a way to select all and delete?).

                              After doing these two things, the phone now works like new - super responsive and very enjoyable.

                              A little housekeeping keeps a year+ old phone very useful and relevant!
