WTFBBQ - Blackberry 9700.

[Jason_E]

Changed my iPhone for this hoping for a reliable phone. Woops.

It's game it likes to play is, when i get say about 3 or more messages at once it freezes. Then when i go to turn it on again, it reaches the orange screen and just turns off. Turn it on again and it has jumbled up my icons, added new icons, changed fonts etc.

WTF? Anyone know of this? BTW its a Bold 9700.

Now its turned it self off again when I tried to put the WiFi on

Mine's not missed a beat since I got it about 3 months back

That's Karma for annoying doggers

I'm due an upgrade and was looking at these! LOL!

Fed up of this thing now, taking it into orange at the weekend. What a piece of s**t.

Don't get it mate, they are hopeless tbh! They work for a bit but then get all buggy and slow and crashy. f**king even my iPhone was more reliable than this tbh!!

It will be the sh*te Orange put on them, try and do an OS update direct from the Blackberry site.

My mate has a 8900 and has similar problems to me, but he's on voda? But I will try it mate thanks!

Mine has been 99% good.

Running latest software & make sure I close down things rather than exit out and they stay open.

Only issue has been it part receiving messages (and never receiving the remainder) and sometimes will open up and only show previous messages in the "chat", won't show the latest. Give it 5 mins and try again, it works

Miles better than the old phones with original software, but still not quite right.

I had issues with my Bold 9000 on vodafone and it was fixed by a 'vanilla' OS.

 

[Jason_E]

I have problems with it sending texts. I just turn it off and on again and it works!

 

[swordjo]

Orange are the worst for it, Blackberry pulled the 9000 from them at the start as they f*cked it up so much.

PMSL, it must be the phones fault...couldn't be anything you've done to it.

As above, flash it with the latest version of the OS direct from BB. My 9000 is rock solid except for occasional memory leaks caused by some 3rd party app, reboot - done.

Oh I'm sorry, i didn't realise using it would break it! I haven't even installed one app since I got it other than the latest BBM. I send the odd text, BBM, phone call. Where along the way have I broke it exactly?

Thanks for the actually smart comments on this thread, will try that soon

 

[AK]

It broke 'cause that s**t video you filmed lol

 

[Sym0n]

Oh I'm sorry

It's ok, you can't help it.

All the blackberrys i've encounted are terrible, seem to freeze up every now and again for no reason. Cant wait till upgrade time, HTC here i come.
