Our Blackberry Bold 9700 Review
The Blackberry Bold 9700 is filled with fantastic features and is an item of lust for business people and social networkers alike. Blackberry phones are seen as one of the best you can get these days so everybody is keen to hear what the Blackberry Bold 9700 has to offer. With many people looking for a Smartphone, this may be ideal for you.
Like other available Blackberry phones, this one is also stunningly designed and looks very smart and sleek which is part of the strong appeal to business types. Chrome and leather make the Blackberry Bold 9700 stylish and aesthetically attractive, although some people argue that older Blackberry models have a bit more attitude and are slightly better looking since they were more unconventional. With its Hi-resolution screen you can be sure that you are getting the best definition. The phone is narrow enough to be comfortable in the palm of the hand and easy to hold against your ear whilst you’re on the phone but wide enough so that the QWERTY keypad is still a good size and keys are well spaced, so this is perfect.
The Blackberry Bold 9700 comes with a 3.2 megapixel camera which is great for those who want to take a few quick snaps every now and again. Although not ideal for those who want crystal clear high-quality photography, the camera on this phone will be fine for the majority.
With 3G and Wi-Fi you can be sure that your new Blackberry Bold 9700 is ideal for browsing internet pages. This is great if you often like to look up things on the go or use social networking sites. GPS makes this phone perfect for those who frequently get lost or who need a little help finding somewhere but don’t own a GPS device. If you love listening to your favourite music when you’re out and about then you will be pleased to know that this fantastic phone has up to 38 hours music playback which makes it ideal.
The Blackberry Bold 9700 has lots of features that make it great for everyday use, and with up to 17 days battery life on standby you can be sure that it won’t die on you whilst you’re making important business calls, listening to your favourite tunes or browsing the web. If you’re looking for a Smartphone that is good all-round then you are likely to fall in love with this phone and enjoy using it.

User Comments
Zoncil submitted on 7 January 2010I was a proud owner of a blackberry curve, but then switched to Bold 9700. I can say there's a drastic improvement in terms of usability. Love it so far! Will post more detailed review after a month or so.
