Definitely to get one, just unsure whether to use Celcom package or standalone.

Some branches away from KL do not have stock as at today, but some Celcom dealers already having them.

Wow bro thx for the fast reply, I edited the post just before you replied i think.
I called up Celcom and found the answers so I erased the questions but apparently you are fast and furious~

Nearest Celcom Branch to me is Seremban (2 hours...) and there is no BB yet, but the Celcom Dealer at the same row got 7 units. Too late for me to go and will try again next Monday, hope no traffic jam.

Still undecided whether 9900 or 9810. My thumb is big and i need bigger keyboard like 9900, but the camera and screen size of 9810 is better...

For earlier 9800 users, does the trackpad located not at same level as keyboard make navigating an inconvenient task?

This is location dependent. At my place (home and workplace), Maxis full bars and Celcom coverage is very poor because Celcom refused to install disc at the tower in front of my house, only 1 Maxis disc at the moment. GPRS only anyway.
At the nearest town from my place, Celcom conquer with 3.5G and Maxis still GPRS. I go out to town only like 2-3 times a week. And yes I stay in jungle.

Digi? a sorry service at remote area.

Haiz, called Celcom careline and they told me Celcom Seremban not carrying stock, but the Celcom Authorized Dealer next door got it. So i drive 2 hours there, and found the dealer having 1x 9900 and 1x 9810. however they said the units they have are for standalone sale and not Celcome package @#%&$xx... Brightstar one.

What to do, already there, drive another 2 hours empty hand meh... so just play with 9900 and 9810 for 30min, donno which one to choose, a while told the shop i decided on 9810; then wait wait 9900 is better, then 9810 again zzz... the sale person also pening with me. Last last chosen 9900.

After buying next step is go back to Celcom center to register what internet plan for BB. Now the unit is charging, wait till midnight only play.

I prefer 9810 actually, if not because i have fat thumb it will be my only choice. This is my first BB phone.

Just got my first BB device, the 9900.
Not used to the interface yet.

Wish to know how to show the phone number together with name in the contact list? What i I can see is names only and this is very inconvenience without number shown at the same time. How to make it show both?

Thanks.

Wah bro, good lar you, if i want to write also donno whom to write to, donno who in charge of what department. Send to wrong person just ends up in dustbin.

Still learning the phone. I'm from Windows Mobile 6, still feel BB difficult to navigate. The trackpad is not as good as Dpad of WM6 especially at accurate cursor by cursor movement. Typing 1 hand without looking at screen also not as good as numpad of WM6 (ehem, sms while driving is an offence...). Unable to sketch something using stylus. Other than that is ok, speed is fast. Screen resolution VGA is the same as my 4 years old WM6 only difference is potrait and landscape.

The company i work has BES (lotus), but i donno how to setup. It seems like need activation number to key into the phone? Too bad i am low rank employee the company won't setup for me

9900 seems to have better screen compared to 9810, side by side compare at default setting, 9900 display quality is obviously clearer and lively. Because of glass vs plastic?

Have gone there search but there is no guide on the topic i asked...
To show the name and phone number together in the contact list. Anyone manage to do that?

I can't find way to key in "space" in password column, it converts to @ or .

copy & paste also cannot, the space is removed.

Any way to do that?

I am supposed to get the free screen protector too, but i forgot at the end when walked out, calat...
2 hours distance, don't think will go back.
Will try to get soft silicone cover. hard cover is too fat i think.

Har, the 3G logo does not "include" the meaning of 3.5G? wtf , will go test it out.

9900 should have some sort of design for the finger to pull the phone out easily from the holster. I hate when i need to pull it out, donno where to hold, if hold by the side there are volume keys.
Search function sucks, it can't figure out 2 words with space, if type "aabb" it will not show result of "a abb" or "aa bb" or "aab b" , pretty sad about it.

Screen is much better than 9810 IMO. compared side by side 9900 is crystal clear with same brightness. Can read the screen under sun light.
Trackpad is too close to T and Y keys, always kena, that 2 keys will worn out faster than others

Looks like this early batch of 9900 from BrightStar is not HSPA enabled which is in contrary to what is advertised. Will brightstar entertain this if complain?

Only 3G is shown and not H+ at HSPA area. Some other 9900 can show H+

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.

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.

I not sure about normal charger, but I bought car charger for bold 9700 it works on 9900.

yeah, 1st time use BB, so some "convenient" ways from previous phone not found in BB make me a bit frustrated, need some times to adjust.

1. ohh, disable universal search ah, never think of that. about adding new contact in universal search, some models reported to be able to do that, but majority cannot.

2. Will try that.

3. Aiyak...

4. You sure the space is not converted into . at password column? that happen in 9900. No big deal anyway, i change the password oledi.

5. Aiyak...

6. When the finger is half dry, it is not even able to "scroll" on the trackpad because of resistance, same thing like people wet the finger in order to flip to next page on a book. I use joystick in previous phone which is much more easy to use compared to trackpad and good at gaming too.

Other thing is capacitive touch screen is no way comparable to resistive touch screen in term of accuracy and speed. Using stylus to aim at thing is much faster and accurate, but taking out and sliding back stylus itself is annoying enough and cannot be done 1 handed. stylus for capacitive screen is much inferior compared to resistive type, not sensitive and need force to press down, so not possible to do like 5 actions in 1 second. Capacitive screen cannot sketch drawing...
Having said that, the trend is capacitive screen now. The display is superior compare to resistive screen, no worry of accidental click inside pocket which i hate a lot, more durable, screen won't become having marks here and there because of stylus.

My big thumb covers 1/3 of the screen, lucky BB has trackpad and keyboard hehe

charge too fast any adverse effect to he battery or not? 10A veli powerful.

yeah joy stick weak at scrolling long page. it is good at gaming and controlling.
half dry finger happens after washing hand only, normal time is dry one.

I prefer 9810 too, the only reason i drop it and get 9900 is just because of my fat fingers.
I played > 30min both 9900 and 9810 at the shop and the sales rep face was black because dragging too much time and there was only 1x 9900 and 1x 9810 at that time and other customer not able to try it.

Typing at 9810 has more error compared to 9900 because of the keyboard size. Just 5mm difference but that make the difference. Keyboard touch also better on 9900.
9900 has much better LCD than 9810 if put side by side compare.
9810 bigger LCD size is really nice.
9810 screen lock button too easy to trigger accidentally.
9810 no pouch (?)
9810 USB port is a bit low and not comfortable to hold and talk while charging.
9810 trackpad is not the same level with keyboard, will have little bit trouble for finger to travel more distance during intensive use of both trackpad and keyboard.
9810 trackpad is far enough from the LCD, so the problem of 'accidentally' activating the touch screen while using trackpad won't happen like 9900. heard that 9900 has firmware update to solve this issue.
9810 has AF camera! ohh man 9900...

Again, my stupid fingers force me to take 9900 else my choice will be 9810.

New to BB and wish to ask about firmware update.
Now default is .261 , latest is .353 I think. Will BB offer update through official website or have to get from the distributor like brightstar? I not that confident to use the 'leaked' version in forum.

After update will all the settings, email, msg, app wiped off too?

Thank you.

Wahlao eh, tell early early mah, I spent so much money buy donno what brand kubalt case until now not getting yet. Afternoon maybe.

Haiyo looking for otterbox noone selling 2 weeks ago.
