Pros

Gorgeous industrial design, Bestinclass physical keyboard, Speed and graphics performance greatly improved.
Sleek design, Sharp screen, Sublime QWERTY keyboard, Unlocked SIM card slot for overseas travel.
Great hardware, awesome keyboard, fast processor
The RIM BlackBerry Bold 9930 has a wider and thinner design and is exceedingly well-made. It boasts stunning graphics, a new touch-screen display, an amazing physical QWERTY keyboard, a faster 1.2GHz processor, and the new BlackBerry OS 7 that brings a...
Sharp, bright display, Slim, highquality design, Excellent keyboard.
Superb build and looks, best keyboard on the market, fast.
Solid design, Snappy performance, Battery life

Cons

BlackBerry OS is dated and clunky, Software selection is abysmal, Cramped display can be troublesome
No 4G, No mobile hotspot mode, Few compelling apps available.
Dated OS, smallish screen, lack of apps
The BlackBerry Bold 9930 doesn't have the best call quality, and we think its price is too steep. The OS 7 user interface is not that different from OS 6.
Price is too high, Call quality is uneven.
Small display, dated OS and lack of 3rd party apps.
Small display, BlackBerry 7 already feels dated, No LTE

Yes, the Bold 9930 now has a touchscreen and a slimmed-down profile, and it maintains the great BlackBerry cornerstones of an excellent keyboard and a solid email application, which is why I’m sure it’s still the smartphone of choice for...

Sprint's version of the BlackBerry Bold 9930 is slightly different than its Verizon cousin, but the overall theme is the same: flashy, current-generation hardware, but yesterday's operating system and apps....

Overall, disappointingly, the Bold 9930 ranks in as an 'Average' smartphone. RIM has done a great job building up anticipation for the next generation of BlackBerries and the Bold 9930 started off strong with its absolutely stunning design, but...

Research In Motion did a very good job with the BlackBerry Bold 9930. It is not radically new by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a significant upgrade compared to what preceded it. The hardware is probably the best every designed by RIM,...

Sponsored links, if any, appear in green. The BlackBerry Bold 9930 (and its 9900 brethren) is one of three new smartphones from RIM that run the new BlackBerry 7 OS. Of the three, (the other two being the Torch 9810 and the Torch 9850/9860), the...

The BlackBerry Bold 9930 for Verizon Wireless--a smartphone with a small 2.8-inch display and no 4G data--costs $249. Seriously? You can get a 4.3-inch with LTE for that. Then again, the 9330 does something no BlackBerry has done before: Combine a...

Finally we would say that the all new BlackBerry Bold 9930 as for now is the best QWERTY BlackBerry phone that we’ve seen, but at the same time we think that the price should’ve been a tad lower.Random PostsTags: blackberry bold 9930...

Of the three new BlackBerrys coming out this fall, the Bold 9930 is definitely my favorite. The keyboard is superb, the phone's design and construction are pristine, and the new features in 7 OS, such as NFC and HD video capture, are a huge plus....

If you're a BlackBerry person, you'll love the BlackBerry Bold 9930. It is indeed the best BlackBerry yet. It's fast, good looking and the keyboard is the best, bar none. Battery life is as good as slower and older BlackBerries despite the...
