And the screen is amazing; I used to feel jealous of my gf's iphone4 screen, but this one is just as good.
The phone has also shown no lag so far
The web browser is also great, matching my previous androids' performance, although the lack of flash support has been a bummer
If any one wants to know anything specific lemme know! | hows twitter/browsing regular websites like facebook, and websites like national geographic desktop.

They don't take cash payments cause in the past they had a lot of break ins and so they only take credit/debit cards . I just paid and left but he took my information for warrenty purposes and to show proof of payment. Posted via RS Mobile | |

The mobile website loaded super quick, and the full website displayed everything properly. Love the option of using the trackpad as a mouse for more precise selecting.
In both instances the Bold loaded the website faster.
I can't seem to get the full version of facebook to load.
Apparently only way to get full version of websites to load automatically is to get a different browser

From what I remember the 9900 is capable of up to 14.4Mbs down, so in real world tests I'm guessing anywhere from 2-4Mbs down.
I can test it tomorrow, picking up my Telus one the second it gets shipped in.

Just go back to the store and ask them to honor the 50$ and I'm sure they will do it. Posted via RS Mobile | |
