the reasons why i love this phone 1. SuperB battery, it last 2days even im always use wifi/mobile network, Call and text. 2. Good Quality of Camera, (better than Bold 9900) it has flash and auto-focus 3. it has back cover that not easy to scratch or fade. 4. Soft keyboard and trackpad. 5. it has good display and Good phone size, easy to handle :)
This phone is still superior to anything currently out on the market even though years have passed and now it's 2014. It gets the job done with fewer moves than anything else. Today's handsets are all gee-whiz flash and dazzle, dazzle, but they're clumsy to use and waste far too much time.
yeah very solid phone i use mine over 3 years (i dont gonna lie i test other phones but my main device was this baby)until last week i upgrade to a 9900 but i love this phone help me a lot of times with school and work also man i love that black/wine pearl just look sexy.
I love your enthusiasm in your reviews. It doesn't make it boring as most reviews are on youtube. And blackberry is the device i'm thinking of. The iPhone will be a distraction to me.
I got this for really cheap some months ago (for like 10 euros). I use it daily for the Docs to Go suite and an app called MindBerry (mind mapping program) and I just love the physical keyboard on this device. I do have a Lumia 640 XL too, but Office isn't as good on that device as Docs to Go is on the Blackberry. Ironic, because Microsoft made both Office and Windows Phone.
Evelyn Zuberbühler I got mine at a local car boot sale. The phone wasn't in a very good condition when I bought it, but it works just fine. Maybe it's obvious, but if you're interested in one of these devices, I recommend you to download and install the latest Blackberry OS firmware (if it isn't already on there) and then doing a complete reset. I had a problem that involved typing double characters that got fixed when I updated it. Good luck!
I remember as a kid i always wanted BlackBerry but my parents couldnt allow to buy since it was one of the better phones back then. And still looks good i should probably buy it now
I just signed a new contract with this phone today. My first blackberry, but Im impressed. And I have to admit, this video encouraged me even more to buy it. Awesome phone!
I got mine today- I already have an iphone4 which is amazing and an android but I have to tell you - this beautiful beautiful blackberry does it for me. Its so fast, keyboard is comfortable it's a joy. The screen resolution oh heavens, it's amazingly crisp. Noooooooo lag whatsoever and no rebooting, battery life is awesome. Go for it! Carphonewarehouse £25 for 24 months that's amazing price.
does Rogers still give out the belt clip with these phones? On their website the 'in the box' description does not say anything about a sleeve or the clip. Their website is often inaccurate.
HI! I was wondering if you thought it would be worth to wait for the new bold 9900 coming out in september or maybe later!!! I dont think I can wait :)
hey! great video! never purchased a blackberry before but im looking for something flash. i have a couple questions for the 9780. 1.does it no bother you that there is no touchscreen and is the mouse feature easy to get used to? 2. one of my prides and joys is music! is the BB Bold great for music and easy to purchase? 3. is it really worth all of this money? and why? thanks alot
I just bought one of these new for 34 dollars. I will use it as a "landline" in my home. Much better than Blu and Alcatel brands sold here in Brazil. Plus the nostalgia of using a blackberry again.
why does rim update like 2 new things and release the phone. why don't they take the time to really add a bunch of new features. not just 5mp camera :S
1: does the phone support tmobiles hspa+ service? 2: does the battery door still feature the leather back like on the 9000 and 9700, the back looked like a rubbery grip texture.
Hiya I have a 9700 and really like it, i have an upgrade on my contract coming up; seems i don't like touch screens....would this be the best one to go for?? It does look good or is there a better one??
do you know if i can buy a Blackberry from Rogers without a BB add-on or a data plan? im with Rogers and im looking at either the Bold 9780, Torch or Curve 9300- ima teenager and i know their expensive but i love em!
depends on you... it u want a phone to text everyone 24/7 with a good battery life.. this is the one.. if u want a phone to make social stuff like instagram get a samsung or iphone
Time for my upgrade in a few days. Torn between 9700 and Torch; however my fellow crackberry family is telling me to wait until AT&T offers the 9780. I'm not interested in changing carriers. I've never had a problem with drop calls; bad reception; etc. Does any1 know when AT&T is going to offer this phone, or will be waiting until fall 2011?
Can i not use the blackberry service on the blackberry bold 9780? I'm getting it with contract this coming sunday. Will it activate the blackberry service if i do not have the blackberry service contract? Will it do if i have the internet data plan only?
I was going to get this one but someone told to get the Bold 9700 it's better? I'm not a Blackberry person ,this will be my first one !! Is a blackberry a good investment? Please reply :)
I just got mine today and the youtube app sucks the sound is good but the videos sometimes it slows down and then it skips parts to catch up to the sound
I just got this today.. and i got a plan where i can only go on networking programs so i cant go on google and whatever. How do I able my wireless at home to the phone? Thanks!
hey. i need help. i already connect the wireless connection but the problem is, browser unable to use wi-fi connection. i cn only access using mobile network. any solution?
I had this phone when I was in high school, the memories. It had a flawless keyboard and sleek design. I honestly want to switch back to it.

but i love this phone help me a lot of times with school and work
also man i love that black/wine pearl just look sexy.
I prefer this phone for the keyboard and the look. It's one of the best phones which BB have done!
2015. Still have it as a backup or when I get tired of the current phone I have. Solid. Battery last for days. Loud ass speaker. Compact form factor.
...With this said. Try using a newer Curve running OS7. I bought a 9315 for Tmobile for $19. Its twice as fast as the 9780 and the GPS actually works.
It's 2017 , so this phone is trash nowadays

Me :) found this phone in very good condition, unlocked for only $18 planning to get it for a backup phone.
I bought this one 2 days ago. I love it, but I also found out that you can do so much with it. Thats why i'm checking out vids like this.
Proud owner
EXCELLENT video! i love the comparisons of all phones! i just ordered my bold 9780 today and now im ever MORE excited!!!

HI!
I was wondering if you thought it would be worth to wait for the new bold 9900 coming out in september or maybe later!!!
I dont think I can wait :)
the flash is placed too far from the camera.do you recognise any difference in the image quality ?
i sold it to my aunt. best phone for business currently using note 10+ but not the same ergonomic feels as Blackberry
One of the best phones ever made. I still remember the excitement when I got mine.
hey! great video! never purchased a blackberry before but im looking for something flash. i have a couple questions for the 9780.
1.does it no bother you that there is no touchscreen and is the mouse feature easy to get used to?
2. one of my prides and joys is music! is the BB Bold great for music and easy to purchase?
3. is it really worth all of this money? and why?
thanks alot
I just bought one of these new for 34 dollars. I will use it as a "landline" in my home. Much better than Blu and Alcatel brands sold here in Brazil. Plus the nostalgia of using a blackberry again.
i wonder if they fixed the wobbly trackpad... it is REALLY bothering me on my 9700...
should i get this blackberry or wait till the new one comes out
why does rim update like 2 new things and release the phone. why don't they take the time to really add a bunch of new features. not just 5mp camera :S
My sister had a phone like this in like, 2012, 2011, this is still a very nice looking phone today, oh the nostalgia...
Does the retail box still include the holster/case for the phone?
Will it replace the 9650 too?
Gonna sell my iPhone 3GS... should I get this or the Torch? Which would be better to get as a first BlackBerry phone?
how did you get that colorware done....i'd really like to know...ive been on their site but cant figure it out! It looks unreal!
@Praisethecookie Thanks for your honest suggestions.. what about Nokia N8, N9, 701 ? Would you recommend those phones also ?
1: does the phone support tmobiles hspa+ service?
2: does the battery door still feature the leather back like on the 9000 and 9700, the back looked like a rubbery grip texture.
can you take a photo and set that as a wallpaper ?
@LearningDjDunHate sweet, can't wait till mine comes. cheers for the help. any apps you advise? yeah i looked at the torch bud didn't like it.
whick should i choose the blackberry bold 9780 or the blackberry curve 3g???
Watching it in 2021, thinking to buy it, this is so good BB designs are still unmatchable.
You can have a normal sim-card and stil use it?
Hiya I have a 9700 and really like it, i have an upgrade on my contract coming up; seems i don't like touch screens....would this be the best one to go for?? It does look good or is there a better one??
