These phones are massivley overrated, they are incredibly boring, the app gallery is a complete joke, with tacky applications that are over priced. The OS is incredibly poor, with frequent crashes, disappearing text messages, poor internet browsing experience, awful speaker, awful Youtube support,...

- phone ergonomics
Cons:

Best Balckberry phone
Got this phone for my wife Birthday from a-phones.com she was very excited to receive it after it took only 3 days to be delivered to us. The features are excellent and we love how we are able to add up to 32 GB memory.

I've been using Blackberries since they were colored blue, and since their hay-day I've been less and less impressed. This is a solid unit. It texts and makes phone calls well. I've had to reboot it almost weekly however since I've had it. The smartphone like features feel tacked on, not...

My best friend!
When my husband first got the 9700 last Christmas, I have to admit to being ever so slightly jealous. I was making do with a cheap £40 handset that looked like a Blackberry wannabe, and I would pinch his phone whenever I could to have a play with it.

great price, good phone, stuff missing from box
Phone appeared new and worked fine out of the box, but the plastic protection coatings/covering (like the ones that come over the screen on new phones) seem to have been pealed off slightly in certain areas.
Pros:
- Got the phone at a great low sale price with free shipping
- The deal was not advertised in the "daily deals" section or on the main page and the price only lasted 48hrs
- Good blackberry does most things well
- Bold keyboard is much better then that of the curve.
Cons:
- In my excitement to buy at such a low price I overlooked that this was a T-Mobile branded Bold
- not At&T (it is stated in the product details) Thus
- this model does not support the 3g frequency of my provider and is a little slow transferring data as a result - almost unbearably slow

The Blackberry Bold 9700 is all it’s cracked up to be
The overall experience with the Blackberry has been of constant communication and maintenance the ease with which one remains connected to the world is awesome and at the same time slightly daunting. I'm not giving it back though. I must have the precious.
Pros:
- The standard wireless additions are present: 3G, Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi
- On the left side of the phone there is a headphone jack, micro-USB port, customisable application key, while on the right there is another user-definable key...
Cons:
- There has been some mention of the reduction in keyboard size hampering typing.

Still using it after more than 2 years :)
This is my first BB experience and a great one! I have always loved smartphones and when I was first introduced to the Bold it was love at first sight! I really like its design and looks of a serious business phone.
Pros:
- Great keypad
- Trackpad - Best solution (for me at least)
- Brilliant display
- Great battery life
- Beautiful UI and platform
- Solid Camera
Cons:
- No update to Blackberry OS 7
- Loosing a lot of phones great attributes if you are not using BIS & BES
- Lack of frontal camera
- The fact that one of the most desirable applications are made for its competitors only
- BB OS needs more support worldwide

great product, value for money
this is one of the best blackberry handheld that i purchase. it was light and it is very easy to be used. The feature was standard but virtually can accomodate everything you need as mobile techy.
