BlackBerry Bold 9900 - 8GB - Black (Unlocked) Smartphone

Still useful and working after all these years.

The Bold 9900 was really great when first released. It was designed to get things done, push email, decent keyboard, great battery life, a camera, expandable storage..

Blackberry OS has its issues but the OS is simple and does the basics. I am not a fan of OS 10, it seems overly complex and i really miss a back button. the Bold had OS 7 which is simpler. This phone is not for social media addicts, forget instagram, facebook etc, this is a phone for email, text and phone calls.

Android and IOS are not very secure they leak your data all over the internet. Blackberry's are much better at this and they don't track your every move.

So even now, i still use the Bold. The battery lasts for nearly three days, its small and easy to carry, handles text and phone calls very well and has options for note taking, todo lists etc. If you need a secure basic device for call and text it is still great.Read full review

Very good .....NOW I've installed a genuine Blackberry battery (has Blackberry written on it)

Very pleased NOW......But I made the mistake of buying a battery and a spare battery (unused and sealed) which while recommended for the model didn't work. The problem was resolved by buying a '100 % genuine Blackberry battery. I would advise you do the sameRead full review

Physical keyboard lovers: don't look more. This got everything.

I don't know about you guys but I am one of the physical qwerty keybaord fan. This is the best choice if you are stil one of them. The build quality of of this phone is exellent which made me buy it. The stainless steel frame that surrounds the phone does bring it's executive blackberry look and professionalism. The physical keyboard is said to be the best found in the blackberry series. The keys are very soft and you can type easily. The battery seems to be a problem (not for me) but you can find a 2500mah battery and replace with the short lived 1250mah which is inside. Screen looks more detailed with higher pixel density. At the end of the day you might feel happy using this phone because of its simplicity.Read full review

Smart phone...

In great condition with a raft of functions - more than I can ever use. It will have a long battery life now, I've just bought a new one (for less than £3) as the one that came with my phone was a bit tired. Great keyboard, perfect for text. There's a manual online you can download - have a look: phonearena BlackBerry-Bold-9900Read full review

Old, but still exceptional...

Sure, it doesn't have all the latest bells and whistles, but for the basics such as email and messaging, it's fabulous. Battery life and data consumption both best in class. I still love it :-)

Reliable mobile phone

This phone is easy to use, as I had this type of phone before. It takes stupendously great clear pictures, and it transfers files in an instant. Excellent product!!

BLACKBERRY BOLD 9900 to use

As a first time user of a BLACKBERRY surprised how quickly got into using it finding way around. But the manual has so many pages some limited use but not a lot for my needs. Not keen on manual layout.Read full review

Ideal if you like proper keys

A solidly made, quality phone. The touch screen can be a bit confusing if you've been using an earlier Blackberry model, but it's a useful addition. The screen is very clear and bright and the camera a huge improvement over earlier models. It uses Blackbery OS 7 so is familiar and logical to use.Read full review
