I got a Bold 9780 and a galaxy S2 some time back. I was really regretting the BB purchase at that time.
But now, after a month or so..im hooked on to my BB more than the droid. :eek:hyeah:

I searched the forum for many queries but noticed that BB is hardly discussed on this forum and when it does come up ..its bashed! :p

Just noticed that we have a WP7, iOS, Android, Symbian thread..so i though of creating this too.
I know that we dont have many BB users on TE but with the launch of 9900 i wish that changes.

Please post Tips and Tricks, queries about OS and H/W..etc

Let me start. :D

It was long overdue for a Blackberry Thread. Congratulations on starting it. I have used BB last year (9000 and 9700) and you are right. It is addicting. I just love the Bold series. Will definitely contribute with any news or tips.
 
Some interesting news and videos of Blackberry:

I am falling in love with this phone by each minute. Just impressive specs and shows us why Blackberry is considered an excellent business phone. Very fast and smooth ui, excellent design and also slimmer/more boxier than the Bold 9000.

Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 launched in India. Really worth a look as this Bold is the best yet with touch and keypad plus excellent OS. Look at the video above

Now I honestly thought that Playbook would actually make a difference in tablet market. But I guess Ipad is dominating, while Android is quickly catching up and RIM is strugling to catch up. Are they too late to the party?

I am interested in hybrid OS too... please provide more info if u can... Will visit the sites for sure though...
 
Hybrid OS is a mixture of the different oses that comnbined into 1 superfast OS. well not always superfast or bugfree. but Hybrid builder always try to get the best mixture from leaked and officials os. Genreally if you intsall reputed Hybrid Builder's OS you will get 95% bug free and smooth OS. and also a great battery life.

I have never used Official OS from BB. For me Hybrid always works best. :)

Here is the Bracode to Join the Group.

Why dont u take it to a repair store close by... sometimes when moisture seeps in to the trackball it stops working and only cleaning it will do the trick u dont have to replace the trackball.... cause the same thing happened to me and just to find out the cost of the trackball took it to the repair fellow and he said trackball was fine and there was moisture so got the trackball working again for just 100 bucks...
