    Onyx includes a 3.2 mega pixel snapper that can click some amazing still shots and average video shots. The resolution of the camera is 2048 x 1536 pixels. Taking good quality snaps is possible even if the light condition is not that good as the snapper features LED flash and auto focus. Image stabilization is also there in the camera, which further assures the quality of the snaps. The shots are good enough and hence the users can upload the images and share them with... Read more

    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

    RIM's Bold 9700 is the best of the BlackBerry bunch, keeping all the features we loved on previous models and improving on everything else. A better camera, smaller size and cool optical trackpad make it a worthy successor to the excellent BlackBerry Bold 9000. But, with more innovative phones catching up in the email department, the 9700 doesn't offer the freshest smart-phone user experience Read more

    I have recently purchased this product with a contract and i am very impressed with the larger keys on a smaller bold. My advice if you are thinking of buying a blackberry then get this one as it is the best by far! Read more

    This review is from: BlackBerry 9700 Bold Sim Free Mobile Phone - Black (Wireless Phone Accessory) This phone is just brilliant, I had the Bold 9000 before this and thought that this was pretty good but this one is even better! So easy to use, the little tracker pad is a nice touch and makes scrolling very smooth, The camera feature is greatly improved in terms of quality of picture and functionality as well. The set up wizzard is extremely simple to use as well. 10/10... Read more

    This is my first Blackberry, having previously used N97,E72,E71 and various other Nokia's. While it takes some time to adjust/adapt to the Blackberry, it is definitely one of the best phones I have ever used. It is superb for emails and messaging. Battery life is very good though not as good as the Nokia E72. Overall I am very happy with it and highly recommend it. But it is important to keep in mind that there is an extra monthly tariff for Blackberry compared to... Read more

    This is my first Blackberry after many years using windows mobile devices. My MDA Vario III went pop about 4 weeks ago, so I thought I would try a Blackberry and see what they are like. Wow, I was very impressed with this device from the word go. The screen is just wonderful, very clear and crisp. The keyboard is a joy to use, far better then the MDA's slide out keyboard. all the buttons have a nice feel to them, and the whole unit feels like a quality phone. The apps... Read more
