I came to realise the presence of another Bold 9900 thread (https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1836164)

Would everyone prefer to have one thread for 9900 or possibly one for every telco like Celcom 9900, DiGi 9900, Maxis 9900, U Mobile 9900, Tunetalk 9900?

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.
1. Example like after typing number in universal search, there is no option to "Add in contact".  Really stupid.
2. 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.
3. In Contacts tab, phone number is not shown, only name zzz...
4. Cannot type "space" in password column, zzz...
5. 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.
6. Trackpad almost non functional if the finger is wet even a little

After all, i still like the phone.

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

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.   

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

I decide nt to buy tis fon coz NO wifi tethering..stick to bold 3..

Mind sharing what does six tools do?

as for the battery, there are few discussion regarding last longer:-
1) check where it made off
2) use 3rd party tongue.gif
3) charge till full, use till kong. repeat same procedure for 5-6 times.
4) use app named "six tools".
5) certain firmware version provides better battery consume.
blablabla and so on....

to @snonyclie777 and @zellleonhart,

3rd page mention SixTools built in function "BackLight OFF".
Other than that, its a 6-in-1 app Hassle free, save space.
as for this one, yes 5-6 were meant for first 5-6 time i did that and my batter can last longer.
fyi, i have 2 ori JM-1 battery, 1 sunglobal. all working tremendously well.
