BlackBerry Bold 9700 Review
Although the Bold 9700 lacks the frills of an iPhone or Palm Pre, for utilitarian business users, it's one of the most polished smartphones on the market today.
Pros:
- Optical trackpad
- Solid build quality
- Landline-like voice quality
- Tack-sharp screen
- Longest battery life of all BlackBerrys
Cons:
- Keyboard potentially too small for larger fingers
- Slow browser

RIM's new flagship BlackBerry has finally arrived. Selling alongside rather than completely replacing the previous Bold 9000 , the BlackBerry Bold 9700 smartphone is smaller and sleeker. On the whole it's a slight improvement on its predecessor, but it doesn't offer anything new or revolutionary.
Pros:
- Sleek
- compact design
- bright and vivid display
- comfortable keyboard
- 3.5mm headphone jack
- great integration of Facebook
- trackpad works well
Cons:
- Smaller display and keypad than its predecessor
- sluggish scrolling
- Web browser remains inferior to alternatives

The BlackBerry Bold 9000 was a big success for RIM in both design and features, making it the BlackBerry smartphone to beat on GSM networks. The original Bold is a large phone, too big for some, and so the Bold 9700 is smaller and lighter.
Pros:
- Good multimedia features and great messaging experience
- UMA Wi-Fi calling is a big plus on T-Mobile version, Good multimedia features and great messaging experience

BlackBerry Bold 9700 Review
An excellent email device in a sleek and slim body.
Pros:
- The best email support around is enhanced by the excellent QWERTY keyboard and responsive trackpad
Cons:
- The screen is a little small for web browsing and watching films
- and there's not much to be had in the way of customisation

BlackBerry Bold 9700 review
The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is our favourite RIM device to date. It takes the essential, top-running features of the Bold 9000 and adds a sleek body and much-improved OS with 5.0.

BlackBerry Bold 9700
It's fair to say the BlackBerry Bold took the QWERTY market by storm. It was a badge that said you'd made it in business, as commuter trains packed full of suits flashing RIM's flagship device.
Pros:
- Hardware
- keyboard
- screen
Cons:
- OS lacking integration of existing online or social networking services

BlackBerry Bold 9700 Video Review
The one consistent theme with RIM's BlackBerry devices is that they keep improving. Even with the new Storm2 9550 that's coming up, they listened to their clients regarding the Storm 9530 faults and and fixed them.

BlackBerry Bold 9700 review
RIM has updated its flagship model with a sleeker and more powerful model – the Bold 2 9700. Featuring an improved processor and latest UI, the phone certainly has the specs but can it stop the iPhone and Android onslaught?
