    The touch-and-type Bold 9900 is the sleekest, zippiest BlackBerry to date, but there are key features missing, which business users would have loved to have had included. Read more

    • Outstanding design, Touch and type works well, Best BlackBerry browser yet, Great battery life
    • No HDMI, No DLNA, No Wi-Fi hotspot, No Flash support

    The BlackBerry Bold 9900’s superb keyboard, fantastic design and great display make it without a doubt the best BlackBerry ever produced. However, it's still very tough to recommend this over iPhone and Android alternatives when you take into account the software, and the lack of third-party apps available. Read more

    • Superb design, Fantastic keyboard, Bright and crisp display
    • No Flash support, Limited third-part app selection, UI sometimes confusing

    RIM's latest BlackBerry Bold 9900 heralds a new era for the famous BlackBerry: it is the first Bold to combine a touchscreen and a physical keyboard in a standard candy bar design. The Bold 9900 has a fantastic industrial design that feels superbly constructed, its keyboard is the best we’ve ever used on a smartphone, and its screen is vivid and bright. Read more

    The blackberry 9900 phone is a great phone, this is my fourth phone previously had a Sony Ericsson: - w800i - s500 - w995 If anyone (like me) prefers a phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard then this is the phone for you, combined with a touch screen makes the phone more easier to navigate. But with a track pad makes it easier for those hard to reach places (people with big fingers) cant reach. Read more

    • physical keyboard, touch screen is really responsive, battery life , screen resolution, phone looks sexy
    • 3G Internet speed is slow (on an optus plan), hardly any apps, no multiple alarms
