Essentially it comes down to touch screen or not, size, and weight of the phone.
Both locked and loaded with OS6 so you can't go wrong with that, both running 5MP cameras and both have a 624MHZ processor. http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3...&idPhone2=3203
see what you like, like i said before 9780 is just a refreshed device of 9700 meaning double the ram , 5MP camera and comes with OS6

What screen protector are u guys using and where'd u get them? A couple of people I know at school have these matte screen protector or something - haven't really had a chance to ask them where they got it. The plastic cover thing for mine is starting to come off...

What's wrong with OS6? I like the upgrade and everything runs very smoothly. The only problem I have is that when I try to scroll to the top left or right corner, it goes to the next view, which is the only thing that annoys me.

The only thing that bugs me about OS6 is that a few of my apps aren't compatible but that's on the developer's end, not RIM Posted via RS Mobile | |

1) I hate the new menu system where it goes between Favourites, All, Frequent, Media, etc. It is super annoying when I want to QUICKLY access something because I find it always changes and it's hard to quickly move the cursor to the correct bar to rotate it, especially while driving.
2) It drives me beserk that my text messages which are threaded dont go to the bottom by default and there doesnt seem to be a hotkey to go directly to the bottom!

-Mark | Another annoying point is the universal search. I mean it's great for some things... but for calling and texting it sucks. In OS5 I could call, text, or email someone quickly. But now I would have to go into the phone app, type the name and then press contact..

I must be retarded but I have had absolutely no luck trying to update my 9780 to 359. Every time I try and click "update" it checks and cant find anything. I downloaded the new version (like 160mb) from AVEA @ Blackberry, installed, it just loaded desktop manager and does the same thing. What am I doing wrong?

Ur doing it wrong 
- Close Blackberry Desktop Manager after backing ur shit up
- Delete vendor.xml in c  program files\common files\research in motion\AppLoader. Program Files (x86) if u have 64-bit
- In the same folder, open Loader.exe
- Follow on-screen instructions and watch your berry update Posted via RS Mobile

I went 9700 > torch > 9700. If you have a 9700 I don't think 9780 or 9800 are worth the upgrade. If you had any other blackberry than its worth an upgrade for sure. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Already stated this before, 9780 wasn't really made by RIM to promote 9700 to upgrade to it, it is merely a refresh device of it to attract people to RIM and to promote OS6.

FUUU I think I have a dead pixel. Goes away when I (lightly) give the screen a quick tap; a minor annoyance though. Should I get it replaced just in case? Posted via RS Mobile | |

What kind of battery life are you guys getting on the 9780?
Mine's usually off the charger by 830am every morning, when I get home from work around 530pm I have about 40-50% left

How are you getting 2 days? Mind sharing what apps you have, and what you use your phone for?

Do you have any apps that refresh/update regularly?
Weather apps, fb, twitter etc?
Also what FW are you running?
