The Bold 9700 may not represent a huge leap forward for BlackBerry handsets, but it is a great email and messaging device that's wrapped in a sleek and attractive package. T-Mobile customers should especially appreciate that this phone supports 3G as...

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. The Bold 97...
Good multimedia features and great messaging experience. UMA WiFi calling is a big plus on TMobile version.
Slow web surfing even with 3G.
The BlackBerry 9700 isn't an earth-shattering upgrade from the original Bold. But for T-Mobile customers it's an excellent upgrade since it's the first 3G 'Berry on T-Mobile as well as the first Bold. Fit and finish are Bold-level good, th...

Yes, it's a love or hate characteristic, but RIM is a historically conservative company when it comes to design changes, and the Bold 9700 is no exception. As a replacement to the aging BlackBerry Bold 9000, the Bold 9700 (also referred to as "the Bol...

BlackBerry OS 5.0 still at times ungainly, Poor video capture, Internet, GPS and media no longer classleading, App World not as extensive or as easy as iPhone's App Store.
For existing BlackBerry owners, the Bold 9700 is potentially more than the sum of its parts. The trackpad interface is the most welcome change from the traditional BlackBerry formula, but we also appreciate the extra screen real estate compared to prio...

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is like a classically-tailored suit: elegant, predictable, practical, and easy to slip into, but not visibly innovative. It advances the state of the art without making unsettling changes. In some ways, this is good; the Bol...
Excellent form factor. Razor-sharp screen. Wi-Fi calling. Good keyboard. Solid call quality.
Browser still needs help. Not a big jump up from earlier models.
If you prefer your smartphones evolutionary, not revolutionary, the BlackBerry 9700 will fit your bill perfectly. It's the latest iteration of a very successful design...
