1. Charging port still in a poor spot.
2. Slower processor then 9700. (it's the point)
3. No Wireless N (I dislike N but how did the 9100 get this and not the 9650)

Seriously.. Why does this have a slower processor then the 9700 and the 9700 is older! Why couldn't they move that charging port!!! Sure I love the fact it isn't near the music jack (thank god) but still it's a poor spot.


Other then that I still can't wait for this device... Wi-Fi will be great to have and the addition processor should make the overall BB experience better. And with 512 MB of RAM hopefully OS 6 and the new browser will not kill the device.

(just needed to rant about that)

Agree with all of your rants, and am also still waiting for the device to come out. I haven't seen a date yet for Verizon, have you?

[SteveO86]

Not for VZW yet but Sprint is May 23rd I believe.

Would be nice for VZW to release really early May and shock everyone!
(My New every 2 discount occurs in 4 days so whatever new phone I pick will be fairly cheap )

So far VZW has the best service where I live.. So I am kind of at their mercy lol.

I hate the location of the charging port too.

so i read the article and this made me laugh.

That’s also why your device runs smoother with fewer applications installed and running
