If the original BlackBerry Bold was a smartphone in its prime, the Bold 9700 is a BlackBerry on ‘roids; a streamlined, no filler all killer device that's improved on its predecessor in every way. And with double the amount of RAM and a new BlackBerry OS 5.0, it runs even faster.
Pros:
  • Perfect QWERTY keyboard
  • best email support on the market
  • super responsive trackpad
Cons:
  • Limited customisation possible
  • small screen size impedes web browsing and media viewing

I bought this phone, after I had my MyTouch for 2 weeks. I hated it due to I had nails and could not work the touch screen. I love everything about the phone, I have always had Blackberrys and this one is so easy to use and navigate on. I chose this one after seeing how much my husband loved his.
Pros:
  • easy navigation
  • user friendly
Cons:
  • N/A

Look closely, you'll need to differentiate the latest Bold from one of the few BlackBerry phones released in 2009, the Curve 8520 . Both phones share the same physical footprint (109x60x14mm) and represent manufacturer Research in Motion's shift away from a central jogball for navigation instead...
Pros:
  • Sleek, sexy design
  • Stunning display
  • Excellent performance
  • Easy set-up
  • Good battery life
Cons:
  • Keyboard feels cramped
  • Optical trackpad won't be to everyone's liking
