On 3G, battery life is quite short for my 9900. I can't imagine how much shorter it would be if on H.  blush.gif  blush.gif

Not sure. Maybe yes. Maybe no. Calls to customer service didn't really address my query. Simple answer with template "we will inform u as soon as we know".  mad.gif  mad.gif

FYI guys, H+ is not HSDPA but actually HSPA+
HSDPA is actually 3.5G or 3G+
and if I'm not mistaken is not available in Malaysia.
We don't hav a HSPA+ network in Malaysia, just 3G currently



Added on September 9, 2011, 11:19 amUpdate: Only U Mobile has H+ capabilities, but in very limited areas.. So d only way u can get a H+ symbol is if u use U Mobile and go to Berjaya times Square... wink.gif

It seems that within the same 9900 there are some that support HSPDA and some only 3G.  If go to crackberry.com can read some people having that problem.  Real reason not known yet, some saying thoese getting early units are not released unit; some said it is firmware issue that the 9900 is actually getting H+ speed but show the logo as 3G. Donno which is which.

read this thread

Just read about this, seems like actually all 9900 has h+ support.

Just maybe unbranded 9900 there is few versions, each version may contain diff modem/band. This is the cause maybe.

There is 1 user at crackberry using 9900,he get extreme speed while his 9900 only showing 3G.

Yes, many people tiao about this, but nothing will be changed. acceppt it or wait for next model.

I am not particular about the camera, still can live with it.

What i am not happy is some of the interfaces and controls are not convenient.
Example like after typing number in universal search, there is no option to "Add in contact". Really stupid.
In Text Message tab, click on menu key the first default selection is "open". "Compose new message" is at the bottom which cannot be seen at the first page, really stupid.
In Contacts tab, phone number is not shown, only name zzz...
Cannot type "space" in password column, zzz...
Menu key spacing is too big, this is meant for finger touch, but i think most people use trackpad instead of finger to scroll the menu list. Unable to make the spacing smaller so that more options can be displayed.
Trackpad almost non functional if the finger is wet even a little

After all, i still like the phone.

OK guys, my 9900 has gone to the hospital (i.e Brightstar Penang).

cry.gif cry.gif

Went there today at 4pm to let them take a look at my trackpad that seemed to make the cursor move on the screen even when not touched.

2 hours later, they pass me the phone to test after supposedly resetting and recalibrating something, and tadaa! the phone doesn't finish booting (hangs at the BB logo). Now they have taken back my whole box (minus warranty card) and advised me that they will send the whole thing to KL and will call me back within 2 weeks or so.

1st time using a blackberry? Lemme teach u something... The problems you stated are not actually problems, just that you don't know some of the functions.

(refer to numbers in the quote)
1. Normally we (more advanced users) disabled universal search in homescreen because we use keyboard shortcuts for apps. For example, N = bbm, B=launch browser, etc. So when we wanna call we press the green button to launch "Phone" and type there... In the "Phone" app you can add to contacts. If you really insist to add in universal search then I've no solution, but that's really minor that I never actually realize...

2. No need to click menu key, just press C in text message there, you can compose already. Make use of keyboard shortcuts.
(I suggest you guys to buy QuickLaunch app, most useful app among all apps ever, for example my sms compose shortcut is just space + Y)

3. This can't be changed at the moment... Need an extra click to see details.

4. I can type space in my password (Bold 9780). Don't see why you cant.

5. Personal preference, can't be helped.

6. Mine is just fine.

Sorry to hear that man. These things happen. I had to change my bbs too last time cause of these little things. They replaced the whole unit after few weeks.

I'm not too sure if bb's quality or not because I never had to replace phones before bb too

^ Sometimes BB's QC is bad especially trackpad. Two friends of mine bought curve 3G, both brightstar set from umobile.

First set, the trackpad is too loose, it moves even though you're not touching it. Second set, the trackpad is not sensitive enough, need to scroll like mad but the cursor only move a little..

Having said that my bold 9780 is perfectly fine... So it really depends on your luck.

I guess because the QC was based on randomly selecting which unit to test. But then again, I could be wrong. blush.gif

My wife's 9780 keypad is ultra sensitive. Every time she types, each letter will be repeated at least twice. Sent to Brightstar, for servicing, still the same. But hey, now she managed to adjust to just slightly touch the keys to type. She called it slide typing. whistling.gif whistling.gif

Not sure about QC's true meaning but just let it go tongue.gif

That is the very famous stutter issue, you can see it in crackberry forum. I heard the latest 6.0.0.650 OS already fixed this stutter issue... But I'm not sure cuz I don't have this issue from the beginning.
