    The best BlackBerry yet, building on a decent heritage of decent handsets to create a compact yet powerful phone that breaks out from the 'business only' stereotype Read more

    The Blackberry 9700 represents more of an evolution of the BlackBerry Bold than a revolution, but RIM has still brought a lot of updates to this ultra-professional smartphone, including several innovations found on its more mass-market handsets. As a result, RIM remains the reference for business smarphones and has given its competitors yet another challenge. Read more

    The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is a definite step up from the old model, both on the surface and under the hood. The new design itself is reflective of a more modern day handset and there have been many reports of people appreciating the trackpad over the old ball for day to day use. Overall, the Bold 9700 makes for a great handset for those that haven’t been seduced by the flood of touchscreen handsets now on the market. Read more

    Just got my hands on this beauty two days ago as a free upgrade. I am absolutely loving it so far, this is my first ever BlackBerry & if all their future products are this good I am going to stick with them. First impressions upon un-boxing it were very good, the device looks very sleek & well designed, the build quality & materials used are second to none. Considering that it has a full QWERTY keypad RIM have managed to make it look smooth & easy to use. I've read a lot... Read more

    the blackberry bold 9700 is a pretty easy phone to use. it was the first blackberry i have used, and while it took a couple of days to get used to how a blackberry works, it is not too difficult to navigate around. it is very good for internet, and while i havent used internet on my previous phones, i got a good package deal from orange, through whom i had upgraded. i dont know through experience, but i have been told the touch panel is much easier and reliable to...

    Won't write about legendary BB hardware and OS (now its better with OS 5) Jog dial then Track ball and now Track pad. Tho' trackpad was there in Samsung SGH i780 but BB track pad is a class apart. Absolutely flawless communication - Voice and Data both. BB should start providing a screen protector with the phone to protect that beautiful screen! Once a Bold user always a Bold user.... Bold, Bold2..... Read more
