Thinking of Buying a BlackBerry Bold 9900 in 2026 – Need Honest Opinions
Hi everyone,
I’m considering buying a BlackBerry Bold 9900 in 2026 here in India, mainly because I love the classic design, physical keyboard, and the nostalgia factor.
However, I’ve heard mixed opinions. Some people say that most apps no longer work, YouTube doesn’t work properly, many online services have shut down, and the browser experience is very limited.
For those of you who still own or use a Bold 9900:
• Is it worth buying in 2026?
• What apps and features still work today?
• How is it for calling, SMS, email, music, and basic daily use?
• Do Airtel, Jio, or Vi SIM cards work properly for calls and texts in India?
• Is the device still practical, or is it now more of a collector’s item?
I’m not expecting it to compete with modern smartphones, but I’d like to know whether it’s still enjoyable and usable as a secondary device before I spend money on one.
I’d appreciate honest opinions from current or former users. Thanks!
