Got myself a new phone the previous weekend and I’m so excited cos’ I can finally put my blackberry 9700 phone aside. Today’s post will be a review of some of the functions of this phone and my personal likes and dislikes of it.
So what’s good about this phone?
1. It has a touch screen function, which operates similarly to the iphone. What the iphone lacks is the qwerty keyboard that this phone also provides. Personally, I think it’s annoying to use a touch screen keyboard to send messages. This keyboard is physically present so it’s super convenient and awesome! *thumbs up!*
2. In addition, the touch screen function opens up doors for more applications that weren’t previously available for the other non-touch screen devices. You’ll see some of the applications that I’ve downloaded later.
3. This phone has a 5 megapixel camera, which is obviously better than my previous blackberry phone that only has 3 megapixel. Now that’s pathetic. Although I carry a 12 megapixel camera with me most of the time, I can choose to take nice pictures with the phone and edit it instantly on one of the applications. 
4. As with other blackberry devices, the BBM has definitely gotta be one of the exclusive applications that RIM developed. No need for further explanation. BBM is love. <3
Also, because I went to upgrade my mobile plan from the previous 3GB, I’m now given 12GB of data free so I can watch videos without worrying about exceeding the usage! And yes, for a similar price I used to pay for!
And what’s ugly about this phone is that …
1. This phone drains the battery life really quickly. Instead of charging it once every 3 – 4 days, I’ve to charge it almost every single day, which is horrible.
2. Although this phone has more applications as compared to my previous phone, it still lacks in comparison to the iphone. This, I have to admit. After all, I guess the blackberry phone is more targeted to young working adults who probably won’t have time for games.
Other than those that I’ve mentioned, I guess I’ve no other dislikes for my new phone. I definitely like it better than what I had. Only problem is that, I can’t bring this phone into camp. Blah. Whatever.
I’ve taken screenshots of some of the applications I’ve downloaded and here they are!
From top to bottom and left to right: Blackberry Protect, Pixtrix, Youtube, Shazam, Screen Muncher, Blackberry Front and Back Flashlight, Photo Club, BeBuzz, App Stalker, Font Control, Ghost Camera, Blackberry Avatar for Guys, GIF Creator and PicStory.
1. Ghost Camera
Me and Lynnette. (:
Operates just like a normal camera but after snapping pictures, a ghost will randomly appear in your picture like this. I guess the ghost camera should be used on dark alleys to make it more believable. ^^
2. PixTrix
Guitar I bought from Yamaha.Cost me $528. )’:
Pixtrix presents a fixed set of editing actions for the user to apply effects on pictures. Out of the few that are available, I like “Colour Crush”,” RG Contrast” and “Lomo”.
3. Blackberry Avatar for Guys
Downloaded this application cos’ I wanted to play around with what they have.
This is gonna be how I’ll look in the future. Hhahahaha. Nah, maybe not. I’m still considering to dye my hair ash grey or silver.
4. PicStory
Definitely my favourite application for now! What it does is that, it gives you the option to choose layouts and from there, you choose pictures to fit into those frames. You can adjust the sizes and positioning of your photos so that it’s pretty. I’ve seen some of the photos and they look like they’re taken from tumblr. Quite impressive. (: Also, you can view “PicStories” of people who’re located near you. Who knows? Maybe you can hook one of them up after adding them on BBM. ^^
Games from left to right: Brickbreaker, Word Mole, Bejeweled, Sims 3, Toss it, Hangman, Angry Pirate.

The graphics for Sims 3 is really … pathetic. So terribly done that it looks like HabboHotel. Gawd. I believe Blackberry can do better than this. I seldom play the games in there too, so I didn’t take screenshots of the rest. I’ll leave the rest for you to explore. (:
Gonna end off with a photo of myself wishing everyone a Merry Christmas in advanced! Heheh
Merry Christmas! ^^
P/S: If any of you have awesome applications to recommend for BB 9900, please leave a comment to tell me about it! I won’t bite! And don’t be selfish, share it with everyone! <3
